Take Cover!
Hello dear readers. The idea behind this blog started out as something different but before I could even start it there was another shooting in the city where America was born....where I was born. Philadelphia. I still live in an adjoining suburb. Supposedly we are the "City of Brotherly Love." Six weeks ago after a particularly violent weekend I tweeted "It is a sad, horrible and frightening reality in the "City of NO Brotherly Love." The love has truly been lost. Every morning I wake and hope the stat line is zero shootings and homicides." This recent shooting, after a joint high school football scrimmage was another homicide in a horrific year. Any death by violence is bad, but this brought additional shock and sadness. This was a shooting involving teenagers. The shooters & the targets- all teens. Targeting kids just trying to get on a bus after playing a sport to have fun and stay out of trouble disgusts me...
