Thanks Slick, I WILL be safe! Doubt they'll go for old ladies like me.

I wonder what would happen if we rounded up all the gangs, put them in a huge field and let them have at it???? They'd get it all over with at once and maybe the nights would be quieter.

I had a similar idea... put them all in a secluded island and let them have a go at each other - they might just learn to communicate on normal terms.

I wish guns had never been invented! Imagine the whole world without guns, wouldn't that be nice!

Sadly, they'd just bash each other with rocks if we eliminated all other weapons! Before guns there were swords, bows and arrows, and on down the lines. Sigh.

Stay safe, Randi!

Thanks Karen! And yes, you're right, they would find other weapons to kill each other with. I just think it's an admission of failure that things like this can happen in the 21 century. It seems the world gets more and more violent - no one has respect for anybody or anything.

Oh Randi, how scary for you! Please stay safe, my dear friend.

It is so scary here right now. There are two more people dead, a 3rd in critical condition and a 4th that was injured.

I personally don't care if people in gangs feel the need to shoot each other. What isn't fair, is the fact they are doing it in broad daylight and endangering innocent people who are just going about their business. It's a turf war, and I get that, but seriously - don't put other people in danger!!

I haven't changed my life in that I don't do things for fear of danger, but I certainly have changed how I react to certain situations, and as bad as it may be, I do make assumptions based on physical appearance, type of vehicle, etc. I don't like to stereotype but I also don't want to end up shot either.

Thank you Mary! Although I'm not usually out and about in the evenings, it IS annoying to have to be careful and watch every step, but hopefully it ends soon.

Nomilyn, we know that they're not after us, but still, you could get caught in the crossfire - some were, and it IS scary. I hate to think that educated people with children may move out, then it will get worse. The politicians should try to live in these areas for a few months, then they just might get a move on!

I hope you'll be safe too - and you, Slick!
