The ever growing gang issue is due to the initiating of younger kids everyday or called being jumped in. This article talks about how bad its really getting in Washington DC. and how the police and security at a school called " Friendship Charter School" no longer feel comfortable in keeping the students safe. It also talks about how the county is trying to make a new bus route and transportation routes to keep people from getting attacked and injured by the gangs. It states that most of the kids aka gang members are being arrested but are being let go within 2-3 days and right back on the street. There is an unbudgeted 20,000 dollars being used in running a shuttle for the people mainly the workers to get to these places of work.
I do not believe that it is going to be an affective choice to go with. Due to the fact that its not stopping any of the violence that is and will be happening. This is just an alternative way for the teachers and helpers to not be affected. The students who are being attacked everyday at these places and on the streets will still have to deal with it. Coming from the police chief and the other officers, that they do not feel comfortable in keeping the kids safe is the bigger issue. Making a new shuttle for everyone else is not saving the kids or helping them in anyway. It even states that there is a huge increase of unbudgeted money being used to do this. Now why wouldn't they use that money in a better way rather then just using it on a shuttle.
I feel that there could and should be better ways of protecting the children who are being affected by the gang members. Including the parental guidance that is needing for every child, thats where it should start. Kids who are being jumped into gangs everyday are getting younger and younger. They feel that they have no where else to go or no one else who will give and show them the support that they need in their lifes. This article makes me really angry, because the county is more worried about getting the helpers out of harms way but still leaving the kids in the hole. The hole as I call it is being stuck in the same spot as they are now. Not being protected by anyone and feeling that if they dont join a gang they will continue to be beat up and everything else. So lets worry more about the kids and the helpers, not just one of the other.

Why did Tiger reallywithdraw from the Players?

Tiger Woods has been the number one golf player in the world for for over 546 weeks in his entire carrer. This means that he has been so far ahead of all the other players in the PGA, that when he first got hurt with his knee, he took off for almost a year and came back and was still way out in front. Now there has been controversy in Tigers life having to do with him and his wife. Allegations state that Tiger has had numerous affairs. So after all this came out he took off from playing golf once again. Comes back and now is not playing like the Tiger that we all came to know and love to watch play. Its a very sad sight to see when ever other shot is either hit way to hard, or is being shanked to the left and end up some where in the woods, or often into another fairway all together.

Now that he seems to being starting to get passed all the termoil that he has had to endure everything else with his golf game seems to be starting to fall apart. The new thing is that Tiger has withdrawn from the Players Championship tournament. Why you ask, because he is saying that his neck is in an extreme amount of pain. But is this all true is the real question. Is Tiger really hurt again or is it because he is not playing up to the standard that is required of him and all the other players. Personally being a Tiger fan I would like to believe that he is hurt and not just giving up on a tournament becuase of the way that he is hitting the ball. Everyone has there stance on the subject, just like when he got into the car accident. But for now until more interviews are done from Tiger I am going to stand with him.

How I grew up and who I grew up with.

This are people who impacted my life as a young kid growing up in Seattle. I Was best friends with all of these guys who are in this video. I was really into break dancing as I was growing up. I have traveled all over the West Coast and battled other dance crews. I have also been in many different videos that were done at the shows. We have a what is called The Great Puyallup Fair, back in Washington state, that ever year me and my crew would go to and do shows for people to watch. We made a little bit of money by doing this. Which we used to do all our traveling for other shows and competitions. These days were some of the days of my life. I would not trade any of them for the world.
