This blog post discusses the increasing violence in the world. It notes that people seem to be killing each other over minor disputes and issues that could be resolved peacefully. In particular, it highlights the problems of black-on-black crime and young people dying. The post expresses concern that neighborhoods now feel unsafe, as people recklessly shoot each other or kidnap others.

This crazy world
It seems like it’s always something going on in this world, it’s crazy. It seems like people
are just dying left and right and it’s over stupid things that can be resolved without killing one
another. I ask myself sometime what is this world is coming to? It looks to me that all the young
people are dying off first, that’s crazy and it’s sad. All this black on black crime is just ridiculous
it doesn’t make any sense. It’s like your own kind is turning on you if you really look at it. It’s
like the suburbs are turning into the ghetto, kids can’t even really go outside anymore because
people are just doing crazy things like shooting one another, kidnapping, and everythingit’s
terrible out here. It seems like it’s getting so bad out here parents are afraid to let their little
ones go out in the front to play because of all the crazy people out here doing crazy things for
attention it seems like, or to fit in.
If you look around it seems like people are just walking around with guns like it’s cool
especially these young kids, just like the guy who killed trayvon martin because his hoodie was
up and he thought he had a gun or something so he shot him, that’s sad what made that man
feel like it was his place to take his life I don’t know but how would he feel if someone did that
to him and his last words were help. Then the young boy who shot another young boy in his car
up at crutch field park on Simpson Ave in North College Hill, it’s just getting to be too much out
here what happened to just fighting if you win you win you lose you lose, you don’t have to go
to the extreme to take anyone’s life nothing is that serious.
