I lived in a really bad neighborhood the first 5 years of my life and there were always drive-bys. I remember my mom peaking out the curtains then frantically corralling us all into the bathroom in the back of the house right before the people across the street had their house shot up. I talked to her about that a few years ago and asked her if anyone was killed then and she said no but two people down the street had been killed during a later one and that was a big contributor to us moving out of the area.

We moved to another not so great community without any drive-bys but tons of other problems, so she worked her ass off to get us into a somewhat decent community. The first month we lived there, the people across the street had their house shot up in a drive by.

My mom was working so hard to provide a safe environment for us and overcame a lot to try and make that happen. I'd rarely seen her so demoralized as she was standing on the porch, watching the police talk to the people whose house was hit.
