I chose this source because it allows me to see things from a teens perspective on teen violence. Although they are the people in question, they're opinions matter too, because those are the reasons why some of them act the way that they act. The fact that this teen wrote a letter to Obama puts things in the spotlight, and it's interesting to see how the government is willing to deal with this going problem.

2) Purcell , Dylan, and Susan Snyder . "Closings may worsen school violence." Philly.com. The Inquirer, 14 12 2012. Web. 13 Feb 2013. <http://articles.philly.com/2012-12-14/news/35822473_1_state-appointed-safe-schools-advocate-school-violence-neighborhood-rivalries>.

This just another source that will help me and my partner push the issue that the district does in fact play a roll in teen violence too. If schools close, kids have to be smushed together and from the looks of it, nothing good can come from that. If the teens become more violent, then why push them together like that?


3) "Philly mayor chides black parents over teen mobs." Fox News. Fox News, 13 08 2011. Web. 13 Feb 2013. <http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/08/13/philly-mayor-chides-black-parents-over-teen-mobs/>.
I believe that the parents are to blame as much as anybody else. Upbringing starts at home. I chose this article because it shows responses to this accusation. The Mayor really tries for the thousandth time to drill some words of wisdom into everyone's head.

The Philadelphia Police. Although they are here to prevent the violence, they indeed can be the cause of it. Teens are rebellious creatures. This video shows the police brutality that Philly Cops are showing against a ten driver. Outbreaks like these make teens want to rise up and rebel even more. There honestly should be some new tactics and protocol. Wailing on innocent teens isn't the way.
