So apparently, crime rates (firearms) are down in Toronto, as well as Canada. Stabbings are more prevalent. Now the funny thing about that is when I heard it on the tv news, the reporter made it sound like it was such a good thing and it got me thinking: THIS IS "GOOD" NEWS?
It's beginning to look like we live in a real world Gotham City waiting for it's hero to emerge and bring salvation for its future. This is how I feel; almost as if we have to turn towards fiction for hope of change and it's becoming ridiculous. We shouldn't have to say to ourselves "if only superheros were real." I personally find myself thinking that all the time. It's come down to an endless backslide, almost as if it will NEVER end.
No matter what. there will always be a misled child that starts packing heat because no one is around to tell him otherwise. And it will continue to stay that way because before the people band together, they sit on their couches and stare at the news with wonder and amazement talking about ". . .someone needs to do something." Why not you? We blame music, movies and television before we take a look around and realize that people are sitting on their porches, balconies and doorsteps watching their community wither away, instead of making movements. No one man, woman or child can accomplish change all by themselves. United we stand, divided we fall.

You're very right if we don't stand together things will become far worse than they already are, however some people are standing up and trying to help. People have formed groups and organizations to try and stop these things from happening, unfortunately it's not being as effective because not enough people are joining.
