This Comment of the Day comes from “Patch,” who wrote:
I grew up in this neighborhood. I knew these kids on a personal level. It really breaks my heart to see people I have watch grow up lose their lives to violence in this way. Because I grew up in SE, I had the chance to get to know people who are really living right as well as people who may not be living right at all. Everyone who live in that neighborhood wants a better life, but there isn’t anyone around to teach them any better. I am heart broken. However, this is the reason why (once I became a mother) I moved out of that community. Every Spring and Summer, someone I know, from Highlands, dies to gun violence. I am praying that God can bless and restore the people. May God heal the mothers.
