As I was reading the latest issue of the Campus Times, I came across Christie Reed’s column, “Too Little, Too Late.” I was greatly disturbed by her opinion.
Last weekend, I attended my church’s annual fund-raising carnival with the typical electric rides, games and food booths. However, this year it had a new addition—a metal detector.
It was indeed a horrible tragedy. A carload of five make a wrong turn down a dead-end street and as they slow to turn around, they are attacked by 20 or so gang members from the infamous “Avenues.” On a white wall in the alley are scrawled the words “Avenidos...Assecinos,” intended to warn any trespassers of the danger that lies ahead.
