I think its sad that teenagers and this black on black crime and i worry about my son. And i think when people get caught for the killings they should be sent over to the war in iraq. How should people go about having that done as a consequence to killing someone?

What's wrong with people these days?Do people hate someone that much that they want to kill them why? It's bad enough that we are going to we are going to die anyway so why would you kill someone I am scared for my sons to go to the store or school. Anywhere I am moving I hate it here and it's not safe for children and why are so many teens getting away with killing others I know one reason is because people are scared to talk in fear that someone will come after them and their family.I have seen it happen and then you have to go around with the guilt of not saying anything and because the color of your skin cases dont get solved and that not fair. we have seen too many deaths....
