Shoot, there is an alderman in St Louis that wants the national guard to patrol the streets. Is that the answer? Do we put a tank outside of every school?
What the hell.

The answer probably lies within all the other developed nations that have a fraction of these killings taking place. But we don't want that. This is the country we want.
