Robberies in Winterland!!!

http://mymidtownmemphis.blogspot.com/

I just read this blog talking about the recent robberies that happened early last month. I hate the way our city has become. Citizens of Memphis can't even walk their dogs in the safety of their own neighborhoods anymore. Why you may ask? Well my answer to this is: I don't know. I hate that young children can't even enjoy a evening at the park with their siblings without worrying about getting hit by a stray bullet from a driveby shooting. It really doesn't make any type of sense. But my thing is, if you know are aware of all the things that is going on in the city, why do you put yourself in a position to get robbed. Let me make that last sentence clear. Okay, if a person knows that there has been various robberies going on in the city, but still decides to go out at NIGHT for a walk with VALUABLE POSSESSIONS....in my eyes that is basically setting yourself up. I understand that some people, me for one, thinks that they shouldn't have to put their lives on hold just because of others wrong doings. However, its LIFE that you can't get back because of someone else's stupidity. I hate that we as citizens can't enjoy our lives the way we want to in out own city. Terrible isn't it? *THINKING* I know right!!. :)
