I was a prosecutor in Oakland and one person told me, as a prosecutor, they said, you know, another one, it's not always the best timing either, but congratulations. One person told me, I thought they described it best, that Violence is the lowest form of communication. And our job as a community is to make sure that our children have the foundation in our communities where they don't believe they have to communicate that way or grow and become someone who would communicate that way.
