What has this world come to?

Last night i was watching the news and i couldn't help but ask myself where has this world come to? in a 30 minute news episode about 5 abusive crimes against innocent people were shown. it makes me wonder if we should feel safe walking down the street any more even if we are right in front of our own house. It amazes me how some people could just do horrible things to others and not give a damn. in one of the news they talked about a woman that was murdered in the bathroom of a bar she was in last night. Another one was of a 16 year old kid that got shot 5 times on his back while he was on his way home from school and then another one of a guy that got robbed and then the robber took the man's car and run him over like robbing him wasn't enough. Hearing this makes me very upset and worried because there are bad people out there who are free and will not stop committing crimes until they get locked up. The reason why this is hitting me so hard now is because about a week ago my brother got jumped by 9 guys around our neighborhood and he was stabbed 4 times. My brother was just a normal kid that was on his way home from school and unfortunately he got stabbed and beaten just for his phone and an IPod. Nobody was with my brother when this happened and if it wasn't for a kid that was walking down the block and called the ambulance my brother would've been dead by now. He was bleeding uncontrollably and was unconscious do to all the blood he lost. It was March 5Th and I was at work and around 4pm I received a phone call from my grandmother crying hysterically telling me that my brother was in the hospital and that I needed to go as soon as possible. Many thoughts ran through my head and it was a feeling I have never felt before because I have never received a phone call that intense. I was so scared and worried about my brother that i just ran out and left to the hospital. As soon as my brother got to the hospital they had to do something immediately because of the amount of blood that he was losing. He got stabbed in his upper left arm, left side of his stomach, sliced on his face and almost got his pinkie cut off. When I saw my brother laying on that bed I just burst out crying, just the thought of losing my only brother got me scared to death. It was so bad that some of the meat from the inside of his arm was hanging out so the doctors had to do a double layer of stitches in that area because it was too deep. In total my brother had 63 stitches around his body because of some stupid kids that wanted to hurt him for no reason what so ever. Do to the injury of his stomach and the amount of blood that he lost my brother had to stay in the hospital for 3 days so that the doctors can keep an eye on him. It was very surprising the way my brother handled the whole situation because he was very brave throughout the whole process and wasn't complaining one bit even though he knew that he will be scar for the rest of his life. Going through this situation with my brother makes me feel insecure in my own neighborhood and scared that another one of my loved ones or even me will be the next victim. Now my brother is back home and is doing better than ever. He is healing really fast and has had a very positive attitude throughout this horrible experience. The crime scene in our neighborhoods is getting worse each day and you can't help but feel insecure and unprotected when walking down the street. It is unfair that some of these people are still running around free of crime and just looking for their next victim.
