This is not the worst of it. Terrible, senseless, often random violence day after day. 50 shot one weekend, 70 the next, no end in sight. Just walking down the street can earn you a drive by, for no reason at all. Shooting up parks, playgrounds, school yards. Hell, just driving down the street spraying gunfire at houses. Why this is not national headline news every day baffles me.
