Is anyone else sad about the weather getting warmer in Milwaukee?

In inner-city Milwaukee as we all now, with the warm weather brings an epidemic of death. Dozens will die in the next few months from senseless acts of gun violence. My heart grows dreary from the news of the young and innocent who've fallen victim to the Summer. Night after night the news is littered with "Shot on Milwaukee's North Side". I don't watch the local news in the summer. I love winter in inner-city Milwaukee because it's so calm and quiet outside. However, now the peace is shattered by cars driving by with speakers so loud all you hear is headache. The cold and calm empty roads have been replaced by hoodlums gathering on the corner selling drugs. It just seems that people are out looking for trouble. I don't feel safe. Does anyone else feel this way?! I've grown up in inner-city Milwaukee my whole life, and the yearly killings are as natural as the Geese flying back into the city's park ponds after winter. What's it like in other cities? WHAT DO I DO
