<description><![CDATA[<p>Wow, I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have a great sense of humor when it comes to my friends and family being shot and killed.  To all those who joke, when is the last time you went to a funeral for someone under 18 who was killed?  It actually feels pretty shitty when the kid next door who I used to see riding his bike is dead. It feels so shitty that it is actually not funny.  Maybe if I viewed Black people like myself as wild animals and not people I'd feel differently.</p>]]></description>
