I think now it`s a wake-up call,
I think we`ve taken a step back in dealing with gangs,
We`ve been restoring this house for 20 years.
Two men were shot right there, ... One was shot in the back, the other in the leg, and the third I was told made it a block and a half before he died in the street. I did not go down to see the body.
Some looters came up and pulled a gun on the wrong group of men,
He is the only mayor that ever sent pink slips to cops.
I think there were mistakes made. We don`t want them to happen again. They could have cost one of our lives.
About 25 rounds were fired.
For five days we didn`t need FEMA, the Red Cross or the National Guard, ... The neighborhood took care of itself.
We were really afraid of fires. These old houses are so close together that if one was set afire, the whole street would all go up. We lived in terror for a week.
