Another shooting in Hartford CT.

[strawberries]

I work in Hartford and I typically park in the north end of Hartford. It is less expensive for me and I have been doing it for years.

It is a poor community, very troubled but I have gotten attached to the community. It reminds me of "my" Boston back in the day.

In any event I went into Hartford this morning around 6:00 and the Sunoco gas station was all taped off, cops everywhere, folks up and walking around.

There had been a shooting, another young man dead. Apparently an argument broke out at 1:00 and escalated into a murder.

I am very upset. These are hard working people just trying to make a living like the rest of us. I saw a couple of Latinos and started talking to them. BTW I should say my blood make up is Italian and Spanish.

It bothered me as I looked at the scene watching the cops laughing and talking like they were having a cup of coffee and DD

I just said a prayer for the young man's family and moved on. I can't work, I can't do much of anything right now but create this post and express my sadness.

peace
Marie
