a grocery store with her toddler age son. Some idiots decided that the parking lot looked like Tombstone AZ and they were in the OK Corral. They started firing all over the place, she, like this father, threw her child to the ground and covered him with her body. It ended the same way, she died and left a toddler child motherless.

This HAS to change. I don't think that Gangster rap is helping. MOST of my childhood friends are dead, not because they were in gangs or doing/selling drugs but because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. My family was able to leave LA in the mid 70's when my parents saw the changes that were happening and got us out of the reach of the cocaine/crack/gang explosion of the 80's. For me, Gangster rap, movies ARE NOT entertainment.
