Robert "Yummy" Sandifer

I mean when it comes to this boy i start to feel really bad, because i can't even try to imagine how he must have been feeling. Even though he was in these different situations, i don't think that would cause him to do all of this bad stuff with his life. Then again he could've been bottling it up so much to the point where he just turned to what he knew best which, i guess, was being in a gang. Him ,along with his friends, were probably just careless about the world so they went around doing bad stuff. I mean reading about this story has really helped me to appreciate everything in life, even the miniature things.
The fact that he shot someone, even if it was on accident, really got me. My whole thing was, why was he attempting to shoot someone in the first place?He was an 11 year old boy that shouldn't know about anything more than family, and fun but instead he knew about gangs and violence. Thats definitely not what he should know about, is it?
All Im saying is that in Philadelphia we really don't have that many problems, i mean we have problems but they haven't really escalated to that point yet and i hope that they never do. As far as Yummy, even though i don't know him, i feel a certain level of disappointment and worry. I'm disappointed at the fact that he is only eleven and that kind of means that anyone can be involved in this type of activity. The reason that I'm filled with worry is because of the fact that I have 3 sisters in Georgia and they are kind of  gullible and i would hate to get a call that anything like that happened to them, so i just think that our elder need to come together and teach us how to control our feelings.
