The thing that makes it worse is that the innocent bystanders have no way of getting away from the violence they just have to sit there and take it. Also it is very disturbing that the hatred for other people will never stop and their going to just keep shooting till there is nothing left.

War of the Worlds
I see it as that no one should have to compare their living arrangements to Vietnam due to the fact that Vietnam and war in general is just terrible. To this day many people feel bad about the things they saw and heard in Vietnam they try to forget every day. But now children have to suffer to the sight of dead bodies and pray that a stray bullet never hits a friend or them selves. To think that there are people out their that just don't care about their actions and how they don't just hurt the people that the barrel is aimed at but it also hurts the surrounding people.

Tom,
I think that you bring together some very solid points here. The comparison to Vietnam, in my belief, is sort of an easy way for the boys to say that a lot of gunfire occurs, rather than implying that the psychological or rather monumentally catastrophic elements of the war are the same as the hood. Any comparison to war is a long shot in the wind, as we cannot even begin to calculate the monstrosity of its horror.
I totally agree with everything you've said
i agree wiht you tom. its a very scarry thought that a neighbor hood down the street form our own was compared to vietnam. i have heard from people that simply registering for the vietnam draft was the scrrist day of their lives. and also you made a good point about how the violence hurts the surronding people. when a shooting happens it hurts the whole community.
