Total madness. I grew up right up the road from this street. We used to call that street "The bad part of town". Never thought it would get this bad.

It is a tragedy bro, and unfortunately happening all too frequently all across our country.  In its wake are the tormented survivors who then carry all the pain into their adult lives.  As a Trooper Ive waded through waist high trash inside homes where teens are the only functioning parents, and then you realize, we are several generations into broken families where guys are growin up without learning how to be men, to be accountable for their actions, how to treat women, to be loyal friends...and then we are amazed when all that pain, selfish behavior and lack of morals erupts on our streets.  I learned some time ago that it takes effort to be a mentor, and share the pain of standing alongside some hurtin bro to nurture him into adulthood.  But unless we are willing to make some sacrifices to encourage each other, the consequences for not getting involved are all too evident.
