WOW Statement
The violent turmoil happening lately has been terrible. Many people have gotten hurt and no one's attempts at intervening have worked. Everyone feels like they have to stay in a precarious place at all times.
All this violence is happening in other countries. I wonder if things will start getting worse in our country. We already have violence, but I wonder if it will go farther than it has. We have resources for events like this but I don't know if it will be enough.
