It is really tragic a young boy like this gets killed by a gang on the street. The article also said another pupil, age 14, was injured. What could they have done to deserve this? Maybe they were with another gang or they insulted someone from the gang who now payed them back by murdering one and hurting the other. Or maybe it was just “for fun”. I think the police should be more out there on the streets, it is ridiculous something like this could happen. We are depending on technology with camera's everywhere but does not help. If there were more police on the streets, maybe this accidents could have been prevented.
I totally agree with you on the fact that there must be more police. Unfortuntaley as you said we rely too much on the technology. But camera's do not come to live and run for help.
