I would also ask that you not call me names. You have NO right to call me single minded, you didn't even know that I live in the area. You are way out of line.

WAIT A SECOND!!!!

Where do you get off ASSuming the entire city is that way???
Have you even ever been here???
Don't you think there is a part of every big city that is that way? Uh.. YEAH!
You should check yourself before making such a vast statement.

Is there a "hood" in Cleveland hell yeah, what big city doesn't have one??

Single-minded people like you should re-read posts before submitting replies.

Where do you live?

At the risk of getting involved here.... Marigold, I know nothing about Cleveland but I do know that there are sick people everywhere, even in *good* neighborhoods. Just yesterday there was a news item that you may have already heard about. A boy in the Plymouth Meeting area (suburb of Philadelphia) gathered tons of weapons and was planning an assault at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School. I was raised in the Philly suburbs and our high school played Plymouth-Whitemarsh in athletic activities. Plymouth Meeting is not a *hell hole* and is far from it. Parental guidance is the issue here, not the economic neighborhood. Many good people have come from the *hood* and many bad people were raised in luxury. This kid's mother actually bought him a gun.

Just as I responded to your PM.
If you don't like where you live then MOVE!!!

You're the only one keeping yourself in this "HELL HOLE"

Marigold, you are entitled to your opinion, and perhaps you have a different view because of your families connections to the police, but I'll bet most of us would be appalled at what happens in the cities we live in.

Since I am also entitled to my opinion: calling the whole city "a hell hole" is a bit skewed. Look for the angels, they're there too. Sometimes it's just the perspective we're looking from. I lived in downtown Cleveland for several years, grew up in the next suburb over, had relatives that lived all around the metro area. Sure, there are bad areas, just as there are in any big city - but no more than New York, Philly, Miami, Detroit, Los Angeles, or dozens of other major metro area have.

The scarey thing is that these incidents are happening in the whole range of economic neigborhoods. I'll keep the people involved in prayer. I especially feel for this kid's family, they just lost their son, and besides grieving, will probably have many guilt-ridden, sleepless nights over what he did.
