I just arrived back to the West Coast from Boston, and recently witnessed the severe trauma of youth violence on poor, disenfranchised youth...I am back echoing the need for us to re-evaluate, re-think, and resist the senseless youth homicides in Boston with an appropriate community control response. The fucking police don’t know how to deal with young people! Their daily harassment of young people is a ludicrous response to youth who are severely traumatized to walk the streets of their own neighborhood!
I'm really comforted in knowing that the Guardian Angels will be patrolling the streets in Boston. For whatever reason, I am mildly comforted knowing that community oriented folks are out there taking over the streets.
