Murder In Boston and Philadelphia

Today I am in shock and grief, Anna Perry,a 20 year old Boston woman lighting a candle for her slain brother was murdered on the same day and same exact spot, four years later. How does her mother handle a loss like that? Will Smith was in Philadelphia this weekend marching for peace to highlight the more the 220 murders that have been committed in that city. Philly is on target to a 300+ murder rate for 2006. Boston's murder rate surged upward in January with four kids working in an in-home studio being killed by one of their friends. The parents felt a recording studio in their home was a positive pasttime for their son and his buddies; the studio's sound proofing prevented them from hearing the sound of the bullets. Have the mild winters of late not cooled our brains enough. Do we have to kill each other????
