Auntie Charo's Soapbox

The youth for youth kids were at the Hyatt doing their thing talking about mediation instead of fighting it out, talking about doing the right thing instead of drinking, doing without instead of teen pregnancy and STD, the Filipina Ladies Association talked a dozen doctors plus into staying on-island and giving their time as well as many more nurses to volunteer their time at the Expo Hall at Manila Mall for hours and hours to talk about Daibetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol and the damages caused by no exercize, eating without stopping, smoking without stopping and drinking without stopping, however, I'm not sure the subject matter didn't include shooting when drug deals went sour or shooting out the back door when you heard pigs and dogs or noises....whatever, there were people behind or near Kautz Glazing in lower Barrigada Hts. that had nothing better to do than shoot at eachother at around seven last night, supposedly of Chinese descent and one now fights for his life at GMH in critical condition.
I used to think that we should ban guns, now I think we should just ban bullets. We could control who sells bullets more than we could control the sale of guns, since we seem not to be able to control the sale of guns. Heck, we can't control anything around here, what am I talking about? The smart thing to do is stay indoors after it gets dark. If you have to be in the boonies, don't make any noises and your neighbors won't shoot at you. If you want your children safe, keep them in the house with you after it gets dark and in daylight, don't let them play outside unless you're with them 100% of the time. The only real way to be safe is if you take control of your life, everything else is beyond control. When was the last time you were on Marine Drive and saw a GPD patrol car? Feel safe now that you remember how many you remember seeing? Yeah, I bet you do! But not to worry, we have 12 ambulances to bring you to GMH! In the meantime, happy dodging, seems they're shooting everywhere these days!
