Book Review: People Kill People. Content Warning.
Violence has increased all over the world over the last few years. Gangs having turf wars, school shootings, robberies and other kinds of shootings. We have had 9/11 when the Twin Towers fell. I was in second grade when that happened. I was in music class when they dismissed us earl to go home. Years later we had Sandy Hook, The Pulse Club and the Boston Marathon Bombing. I still remember the tale from my coworker from Target when she had walked out to her car to go home, she had heard the bombs go off. She had thought it was thunder. She found out later that the sounds she heard was the bombs going off. The Braintree Mall was dead for hours, and we couldn’t reach out to our loved ones as they had turned off cell service in case of another bomb.
