The Insanity of the South Side

A 2 year old city boy was laying in his bed when shots rang out. Multiple shooters racked the house with a hail of lead. The 2 year old was shot in the back. The bullet traveled along his spine and exited from his eye socket. He remains in the hospital in critical condition. A life that was not yet lived, a life worth protecting, a life that will now never be.

I liked it better in the Old West when two people with a grievance took ten paces in the center of an empty street, turned and fired. At least the bystanders weren't in the cross hairs. The South Side of Syracuse has been a warzone for years. Folks in the community attack the cops for not patrolling enough. The they attack the cops for 'harassing' young males in the neighborhoods. Talk about wanting your cake and eating it too. And nobody saw a thing!!

At what point do people in a community say enough is enough. Life is about the hard decisions...Not just the easy ones. Someone has to stand up for what is right...And a 2 year getting shot couldn't be a clearer example of why someone has to stop the insanity.
