5. It's sad to watch.

we always felt lucky that although we have had some family in jail or shot, at least nobody dies during the gang wars and stuff. Friends passed, though. All those airbrushed RIP shirts piss me off. It should not be this way. I think we are coming on a change. Look how those kids know EXACTLY what the problem is and are not asking for change, they are demanding it. They'll get it. They know better than to beg. Gotta fight. We fight we win.
