I am often amazed at the amount of people I have talked to that have never been in a fist fight in their lives. The concept of having avoided conflict in that capacity for one's entire life astounds and baffles me. These are kids that are not like that--these are kids that have watched older kids getting run down and killed like animals, just in the street. One at a time, one by one. These will not be soft children. This does not produce the kinda kids that are going to want to grow up and be painters and liberal arts teachers. These are the kids that want to join the army, be a policeman, be a gang member, or give up and do a lot of drugs kind of extremes. Maybe some will come out and still be sweet, but I doubt it. No matter what, those kids that watch events like that happen next to their homes are no longer innocent.
