March doesn't seem a good month over the past two years. It was Virginia Tech in 2007 and this is UNC in 2008. Although VT back in 2007 is terrible, to see such tragic happening in Chapel Hill is just unconceivable. The once quiet Davie Circle off Franklin will never look the same to me. May be it's just hit too close to home, it's shocking to me even than VT, which was much more devastating.

The real tragic is that the same are happening across the nation, from the quiet college town such as Chapel Hill to south central. A lone gunman may create news, but it's the many "little" crime that is killing our future every day.

Is there a solution? Not really. Personally, I strongly believe that it is the poverty other than anything else that leads to high crime rate. May be a national health plan by the new President as the first step towards helping the poor? I doubt that McCain's going to do it. So, dream on.
