    The murder rate is very high in Chicago.

    Yeah it happened in Garflied park I think.
    Very sad. We need to rethink are approach to stopping this violence. They were talking about it at the gym today, I think some people knew him or of him.

    Do you go to any gyms here?

    25 is way too young an age to die. RIP to Ed Brown, who seemed to be developing into a good boxer. Pretty much shut out Albert Mensah in his last fight and that's not easy to do.

    I go to a martial arts studio in the suburbs that also has boxing instruction. I train and do some sparring but no formal fighting in the ring. I later read that Brown was killed via drive by shooting. Bad news.
