Gangbangers a'comin'

The violence is hemorrhaging into the suburbs. Confiscating cars of people who disrupt funeral processions is a good idea. When I was in Christ's ER there was a teen who had been shot being treated next to me with nothing between us but a curtain with an opening I could see through, and a police officer sitting on a chair. There seems to be a lot of physical altercations at Advocate Christ also and that scares me. There seems to be so very little regard for life in these gang members. Why not eliminate English from the grade school curriculum, no one seems able to speak it anymore anyway, and substitute a humanities course. Obviously something is missing and if parents won't teach their children that life is sacred and schools can't, then humanity is lost. Just sayin'.
