the lament
“If only they could have been killed by their own kind ... like thousands of other young Black children and teenagers in the past year...we would not be having this pain... and media attention”
The shared pain of raising a disrespectful criminal thug and getting to watch the result....
Well said.
“They both were unarmed. They were both teenagers. They both were African Americans and the both were shot and killed by a non-African American,” Fulton said.
They were both thugs and both celebrated the thug lifestyle, both juiced up on drugs, both from broken/disfunctional homes, both had extensive juvenile records (not proven on Brown yet, but it will be)......
Unwilling? Unable? Disinterested?
I don't know. I'm guessing lots of freepers grew up like I did or have children they have raised or are trying to raise. Answer these questions.
What would your parents have done/said or what would you have done/said to your children if:
1. (You or your children) were skulking around a condo development at night, casing the place, and attacked someone who challenged you?
2. (You or your children) were wrestling/attacking police or security guards?
3. (You or your children) just strong armed a store clerk and it was on tape?
4. (You or your children) attacked someone with a gun and tried to wrestle the gun from them?
Is there a pattern here? I think there were some other incidents leading up to the climactic ones.
Sounds like bad parenting and both Mama’s should take a big part of the blame. I need another box of tissues, I’m starting to tear up again. Blahhhhhhhhhhhh.
