people and bad things are supposed to happen to bad people in bad neighborhoods. we tend to think of raw numbers and we do it in chicago and across the country. how many have been shot, how many have been killed? but when you spend time in a community that is gun weary, a family who has lost a loved one to gun violence, you realize that our calculation, that our math is way off. in speaking to nakia williams and the campbell family, it's clear that there's a deep hole in them. a piece that will never be filled. so those outside who think they are gang bangers and thugs and all of these epithets we use to describe folks in these neighborhoods, there's still something missing. deshawn hill who works with chicago survivors, she framed it up perfectly. let's take a listen to what she has to say. >> these are everyday people who are waking up just like me and you every morning trying to survive, going to work, taking care of their families, you know.
