The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports today that there have been 11 shootings in the city in the past 18 days. Some of these shootings have taken place in broad daylight. Not surprisingly, community members got together and had a “vigil.” What do they want? More police, and more programs for the children. I find it very hard to believe that there are no programs for the children. It’s not a question of programs. It’s a question of do you want to go to the gym or the pool, or do you want to drive around shooting people? Neither the government nor the police can raise your children. Until fathers stay with their children, and until parents condemn drug-dealing and gang-banging by their children, this will only get worse and worse.
