Gang violence seems to be a trending issue that is gradually becoming worse. I particularly live in a small town called East Palo Alto, a town in which once had the highest murder rate in the United States. The violence in this city mostly reverts back to drugs and gangs. As the police department strives to make a difference in the community, they aren't as successful due to the lack of sufficient funds and staffing shortages. There is not one weekend night where I wont hear gunshots tearing up the sky. The violence is shredding this community apart. This connects to the violence in Always Running because many kids are at-risk, joining gangs, doing drugs, committing crimes, and becoming violent, because they feel that's all they know how to do.
