You don't see this very often.

NEW IBERIA, La. — Two mothers are mourning the loss of their two teenage boys after a shooting last night. Now, local leaders are working towards figuring out a solution to gun violence.
Police says the two young men were arguing on the 700 block of Rosalie Street in New Iberia before they shot and killed each other instantly
quote:
Local leaders, like City Councilwoman Deedy Johnson-Reid, says that one of the problems in New Iberia is the lack of programs for its youth.
“There’s not enough for the kids of New Iberia to do," said Johnson-Reid. "We’ve got to figure out the way to put some programs out here, so our kids have something else to do… another way to kind of handle their anger, teach them some discipline, so we don’t have this gun violence that’s happening way too often in the city.”
She also says she believes that parents should receive more training on how to keep children and teens out of trouble.

Sad that 16 year olds think violence is the only solution

Of course. It was the lack of midnight basketball and because they didn’t have the newest console that they shot each other in the street.
Dindu nuffin wrong.

Or you could have not failed them as parents.
Chances both of these kids come from single mother homes?

I grew up in a trailer park next to a corn field. We didn't have internet, cable TV, social media or midnight basketball. We somehow managed not to shoot each other out of boredom.

I thought parents were supposed to do this?

Hasn’t New Iberia been around for like 100 years? With all of those 100 years filled with kids that had the same lack of programs but somehow made it to adulthood mostly normal and without shooting each other?

I have family in new iberia. We used to go down there during the summers when my mom had to work because we could hang out with family and it was essentially free daycare. Last time we went down there was around 2003 or so.
I wanted to show my wife because, believe it or not, I had quite a few good memories there. Running around the neighborhood, going down to the corner store, figuring out whose house we were going to that particular day, etc. I remembered it like a dingier, maybe a little more dangerous mayberry.
This past year we took a drive down there when we were visiting home and I couldnt believe the state of that old neighborhood. It wasnt picturesque when we were little but it was lower middle class working folks who were neighborly. Maybe my memory is just failing me, which has happened often, but the deterioration of that neighborhood and new iberia as a whole was apparent.
Not really that relevant to the article, just a dear Facebook while I take my morning deuce.

That's been a problem for Smalltown, USA forever, yet most people don't shoot each other.

No shooting range in N.I.
