So for the 4th- fourth fucking time- the Kid got mugged. But this time they pinned him, beat him and stole his phone.

Last time I was forgiving- this time I want fucking blood. I want a gun. I want to kill the assholes who would hurt a 13 year old boy. And I want the police to get off their collective asses and do something.

The entire left side of the Kid’s face is gonna swell up. He took their punches, got in one of his own. He got free and he got home. He shouldn’t have to keep dealing with this shit. He won’t let me take him to the emergency room, though I think I should. I’m gonna give him an hour to collect himself.

I used to love my neighborhood. At the moment I would firebomb the whole thing and start clean.
