   I would like to see this a better city . I feel so powerless . I don't see   
   people complaining. I don't see anything confronting our real issues here,   
   so I am left with complaining . I feel so sorry for this woman and her   
   family like I do every victim of violence. Its sad we have to watch all this   
   everyday in the world and in our city and on tv every night. What a sad   
   world. I am starting to believe its sane to be depressed.
