I read an article recently (Police seek suspect in random shootings, Placer Herald, 8/16) that said there were random shootings from Rocklin to Loomis. Personally, our community/country just needs to stop focusing on all of the negative in the world. In a metaphorical manner, we need to pick up our beach blanket and shake all of the sand off so we can restart with happiness in our eyes. I know this sounds cheesy, but it works for me. Why couldn’t it work for the community? I only say this because there’s a lot more to live for if you don’t just focus on the negative. The negative will always be there. Jesse Sayles, Rocklin
