It has room, but we can disagree on that. I mean we got to talk about it somewhere right? The discussion can't always be about what we wish the system would do, but ultimately can't or won't.

Kids get shot in school. They aren't safe places (probably never really were) and being a black child or person has never been safe so we have to find effective ways to protect ourselves. Not being where your enemy expects you to be is one such way (metaphorically speaking in this case).

Sad but true IMO getting rid of them is the only fix and sadly it's a temporary one. There's a lot of guys like that out there. We can protect and educate our kids more effectively than changing the hearts and minds of those with messed up dispositions -- that's all I'm getting at.

For sure and they shouldn't be called men either. I've never stated they were in the right.
