... it's so sad that a life was lost in the Garfield Ridge community, one of our own neighbor 
. It's heartbreaking to think about the young man who never got to see another night with his family and friends 
. We can only hope that the authorities catch the person responsible and bring them to justice 
... it's so hard to understand what drives people to do such senseless acts of violence 
.
. Garfield Ridge is literally getting hit hard with all these shootings. It's like, what's going on?! Can't the city do something about it? I mean, I'm not saying they're completely failing us or anything (coughs), but... it feels like we're just throwing our hands up in the air and waiting for someone else to fix this mess 
. Guess that's just the way it is sometimes 
.
just when you think it's gonna be a good night in Chicago... sad news about that young dude who got shot in Garfield Ridge 
I mean, it's not like the cops aren't doing enough already, but I guess one more life is all they need to take action 
this is just devastating... another young life lost in chicago 
it's really getting old. i feel for the fam & friends of the victim, it's just so heartbreaking 
. what's going on with all these shootings? is anyone doing anything to prevent it? 
we need more love & care for each other, not just laws & guns 
. We need to start talking about how we can support our communities in a more meaningful way than just throwing money at the problem.
. We need systemic change, not just law enforcement fixes 
... I hope the police can catch the person responsible & bring them to justice ASAP 
... but also, let's not forget about all the other issues affecting our community, like poverty & lack of resources 
?
.
let's all keep the victim's memory alive by spreading love & kindness wherever we go
