Because the people on this forum and the US in general, I would venture to guess, don't live in poor, gang-riddled communities and hence don't see this level violence daily.
I live in the same city and I've never seen it happen, only hear on the news and through people's discussions, because I don't _live_ in the parts she teaches in.
What's doubly sad is our crime rate has been going down since the 80s and 90s and is fairly low among cities our size (Pittsburgh).
- Kluny 12y agoThat's not sad, it's a sign of hope that however bad it is now, at least it's getting better and not worse. We can't fix these problems overnight, but the efforts we make do make a difference, and someday these issues will be the subject of history books and not the nightly news.
