Late Sunday in Franklington, a shooting take place at an Easter block party on Williams street shortly before 8 p.m. At a party with several hundred people two people were killed and three were left wounded. All except for one are thought to be innocent bystanders who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. According to police a fistfight broke out between two rival gangs and things then escalated to gunfire. According to the writer of this article there has been a recent outbreak of violence and conflict between gangs. There has been way too many innocent casualties in the surrounding areas due to gangs and the police need to do something about this. The author goes on to say that this is the police's problem and that they need to do something about it.
I do agree with the author that the police can do more about the recent rise in gang activity; however, I feel that this is not solely their responsiblity. First and foremost it will take the effort of parents and legal guardians keeping their kids off the streets and out of trouble. I think that the authors opinion was very ras and that he/she should have looked into the situation more before giving their opinion.

I completely agree. I think the police do need to follow through with their oath to protect citizens. But even more so, parents have the most influence and control over their kids and they are the ones who should be watching their actions.
