Enough said would describe the perfect epigram.
I could only add background. I was climbing the stairs of one of the remaining buildings from the Chapman Autombile Company on Taft Avenue on the border of Collinwwod and Glenville. Before getting to the top floor, the fifth, a boy lied, sprawled on the stairs, dead.
The weapon, or a weapon on his lap.
The city was second to Detroit in automoble manufacturing when this building was constructed in the golden age of such places, jobs everywhere. The two cities by 1980, were competing as murder centers.
This a scene that could never have been predicted or even imagined until after the late seventies when these cities’ long-term economic fall began.
The idea of children shooting and killing other children in schools and on the streets, was unimaginable at one time.
Shot in 2017, every year the murders increase and, by 2020, it was ridiculaous, once more.
