It seems every other day now we are seeing just horrendous stories involving young kids and fatal shootings. Is there a web page dedicated to these stories?.. I wish in a way there was, so everyone would realize just how horrible things have become in our country.
Am i out of my mind or have these kind of stories become more and more numerous?

The rate has been dropping slowly but steadily for decades. As have homicides, assaults, rapes, carjackings, burglary, etc.
