Only reason he had his gun was because he was AFRAID!!!!

Just another person afraid of the world so he must carry his death machine.

1. It's a shame he felt the need to have to go to these lengths to protect himself.

2. Chicago gangs are something to be scared of.

when a city needs police protected safety routes to allow kids to get to school without being killed you know you have a huge problem.

4. that is horrible!

3. The schools themselves have been without shootings for several years

The problem is that getting to and from school is way too dangerous for way too many kids.

It's nothing as bad as the bad old days of the 90s, but it's still pretty bad.
