re: Wayde Sims related: When will BR wake up to the crime surrounding Southern/North BR/etc?

I just heard Marcus Spears address this.

He said, like everyone else who grew up in that area, he knew people growing up that was shot and killed and that it's something you never get immune to. And that in order to put a stop to all of this these kids need to be taught to value life and that no one has the right to decide when to take another human beings life.

That is part of it, but also.. It's too easy to get a gun on the street. These are the type of things that happen when someone who has a gun, gets into an emotional situation. Something happens that pisses them off and they react by grabbing their gun. Throw in drinking and getting high (don't give me shite about "that's why marijuana should be illegal, because it makes people do shite like this. That's not at all what I am saying.. And not to mention. if you make that argument, then I would just say.. It's illegal and it happens so that's not a justifiable reason to keep it legal. If no one planned on bringing up the marijuana thing then ignore this).
