The shooting took place about 1.5 miles from my place. I live in a mostly black neighborhood, and the tension is palpable. I had to leave the house to do something in the office and stopped to chat with my neighbor, who drives a truck route for a living and had worked into the wee hours today, so he'd been asleep all morning and missed the news. When I told him about the shooting, he blanched and said, "Oh, man, we're fucked. This is no time to get pulled over in this town."
It's just terrible all around, and the Summer is still young. Things are going to get worse.
