It was just two thugs shooting at each other ...at least no-one was killed.
How easily you take such violence as an everyday occurance.
I know we see this topic differently but I really don't understand how incidents such as this one becomes an acceptable part of everyday life.
It was a fight between two losers, Evan has worked there for three years he says the school is just full of this kind of people.
College campuses are the Mecca of crime. The campus police are the busiest group of police. I would never take that job.
Once you see a man murder his infant son by drowning him in a sink in front of the mother and other children two punks shooting each other doesn't really spark that much thought.
The places these type of people live are similar to the worst parts of third world nations. There is an entire culture in these places, where police are seen as enemies some parts of town where we don't go in with just one vehicle.
These are the cultural problems that nobody even wants to know about. As long as it doesn't spill into the white picket fences of the suburbs nobody thinks about it.
I worked vice for three days in Houston, I left once I entered a brothel where the youngest prostitutes were 9 years old. I was contemplating leaving this field over that. I just sat in my patrol car and cried. To think that humanity is something so utterly disposable sickens me to the very core of my being.
This is the culture that kills people, illegalizing guns will do nothing. The part that really gets to the core of me is that everybody knows this, every single child can tell you exalt what is going on yet nobody does a damned thing about it.
Lenient laws and corrupt politics have created this, I hate what has become of my country, its sometimes everything I can do to not take my husband and boy and just leave, walk away from this profession and go into the ignorant bliss that is the suburbs and cry when cops take two hours to respond to my call over a window being broken.
But, even though I am just an atom in the drop in the bucket, its at least a little bit of a difference I make, I an in a progressive department than doesn't see caging people with monsters as the only tool to guide people away from crime. Its exhausting and spiritually draining soul crushingly depressing. But there is hope. If nobody gave a damn there wouldn't be. This is a fight I will give my life for. To many people walk away and put blinders on and shove their heads in the dirt. I just can't.
Sorry for my lengthy post today has been rough. I can't wait to just curl up next to even and forget what I have seen today.
