Walking to the Sox game Wednesday and we pass a crime scene. A terrible shooting that was the result of a fight at a school. Two kids walking home that were involved were gunned down. Two kids who admittedly shouldn't have been fighting but also two kids who didn't deserve to die because they were fighting. Parents mourning. Tough stuff. 1 block from Sox park. My wife and I saw the evidence cones all over 35th street.
This morning I look at facebook and one of my favs from a decade ago in Baton Rouge is mourning the passing of his brother whom I also taught. I look at NOLA.com to try to find the story about Ronalds death and see a headline of a college basketball player from LSU whom I saw play a few times during our last year in Baton Rouge. There was a fight. Doesn't say if he was involved. Some will say he shouldn't be out on the streets at midnight. Last I checked it's not against the law. Last night while you and I were sleeping. Wayde Sims, 20 years and gone.
Tough morning.
