Violence


Violence occurs all around us no matter where we choose to go. We want to do a lot for the community that we are in but fail to realize that violence will keep happening somehow. Whether you're at a tailor shop or a fast food restaurant, you will always hear a young teenager being shot to be careful. Even if you bring a maze with with you, 9 times out of ten. You may not make it alive. Instead of seeing caps and gowns, we see caskets and memorial in honor of our loved ones that we lost. We ask ourselves: Why is that happening? There is always a statistic being made for someone who was involved in violence. Let's put the guns down and protect our community as a whole.
