Naw!!!!

Young black guys are gunning each other down 50-100 times a day, across the country. Sometimes this happens in multiples of 2,3 and 4 too, just like our crew on Deleware Avenue. At best, in small cities, it is local news but not so in the largest metropolitan areas, except as fill, on the occassional slow news day..

Life has been devalued?  You betcha, only most of the white guys and gals being killed today are experiencing premature death in wars, heavy drug/alcohol abuse and suicides brought on by broken families, unremitting peer pressure, and lonliness.  

Why, the young man who snuffed out the lives of three other men (all of whom just happened to be black)on Deleware Avenue admits he was "prompted" by drugs, alchohol and the state of poverty assigned to his life. Need more be said?

Life is tough, and George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their corporate pals have only made it worse, for more of us.

In Boston, we have a murder or more a week. At first it was big news, then after a while, it just became nothing. The only time the gang violence really got the news it deserved was when a young college girl from Kentucky got drunk and followed a bunch of rough guys back to their party in Dorchester. She ended up getting killed in crossfire. Surprisingly the police found the people who did it, but somehow they can't find the ones who killed the little black kids outside of school.
