There have been some intriguing articles in the Oakland Tribune and SF Chronicle recently regarding Deep East Oakland.  This article asks where the public outrage is for the innocent 16 year old who was shot while being dropped off at his house by some friends.  They got caught up in a sideshow and shots were fired into their vehicle.  The comments on these kinds of articles are fascinating.  Who do we blame?  The shooter seems to be an obvious target, but there's always the Deep East in general to blame, the family, the police, the sideshow, poverty, school system, etc.  In any case, this article  does make me question why I wasn't outraged and stunned when I read the original story on the shooting.  Do you just get numb to it when it is the reality around you?  Are there ways to cope while staying passionate about peace and safety for our young people?
