Actions Speaks Louder      
Written By:Davika Hill

 

In these past couple of years gun violence has become a serious issue in our paradise home. It seems like at least once a month there’s another offense involving a firearm being reported. As citizen’s we are quick to blame the police for not doing their job correctly. While I feel that the Police Force does have a lot to work on, they are not the only one’s that are to blame for continuing violence. We as citizens also need to hold ourselves responsible for the way our country is going. If we don’t stand up to the perpetrators we are telling them that they can continue doing what they are doing. We need to stand up and not be afraid to report what we witness, form neighborhood watches. It’s not enough to just talk about what’s not being done; we must also stand up and do it.
