      Gun violence is everyone's problem. Turning a blind eye, not getting involved, and treating these social issues as if they only take place or will only occur in some neighborhoods causes the problems to spiral out of control.

        Heard it and know the difference between the thunder we were hearing and those gun shots.

        A car was speeding in the area as well.

    This is one of our biggest problems. Tearing apart society. Seems the new style is coward men looking to guns & ambush instead of working out their difference face to face.
