Summer of violence redux

Double blog Monday, kids. If you've watched the Denver news at all, you saw Denver is dealing with a spate of weekend violence including the shooting of an 8-year-old child in a drive-by. You can always make the argument that the media are the best at putting an apple and orange together and colossally over-hyping things. But,to me it seems a perfect storm is brewing reminiscent of the infamous 1993 Summer of Violence in Denver where another innocent youngster, Broderick Bell, was shot in similar fashion. Hope they can get this under control.
