I don't bat an eye when druggies kill each other, I don't give a fuck. This story is different and can't be compared to street thugs & their murdering ways.
This is my point. All the kids who are killed every-fucking-day are not druggies. They are people going somewhere or on their way home from somewhere or just standing around...
Putting one tragedy in the spotlight, and getting off our collective asses to change it, is Maytee-like behavior.
Most victims of violence didn't ask for it and didn't deserve it. I do talk shit about how things are and how people are because I am angry that we care enough to comment about the "good" kids who look more like us and dress more like us than we do about the kids who are growing up hard and don't get a tear when they are killed.
There are things bad wrong in this country, more things than this. The black community especially needs to care about EVERY dead kid, not just the ones who are newsworthy.
This situation sucks, but not any more than the stuff I see and hear every day. If people really care, they care about all of the kids, not just this one.
