living in fear today?

[myskat]

I think we DO need to live in fear a bit.  Charlotte has a gift for creating isolated cells where there is a perception of safety, where the problem is "over there".  I'm an East side resident who was raised in the Southpark area, I know the "not our problem" strategy of  Charlotte all too well.    It's rearing it's head again with the new school

well-said. *hugs*

yeah, the media is definitely coming across as though this is a guy with a long list of past convictions, but no mention of gangs, at least that i have seen. seems to be pointing at this as an individual as opposed to anything larger. i guess it makes people sleep better at night to think the one guy is locked away than to know the problem is, was, and still will be out there.

if you take a moment to look at his arrest record, they were all small offenses, nothing big. It was a set up. Retaliation for the big gang bust in hidden valley.
