Be sure to read the comments after the story. Some are a real hoot, such as saying the creation of this center is like establishing the Michael Vick Animal Shelter.
I wonder if they will deal crack and heroin out of the church?
Wow, what a wonderful role model!
Okay, let’s honor a criminal by naming a youth center after him while we relocate the remains of a Confederate general so as not to offend those who didn’t know who he was until a few weeks ago.
Freddie Gray was a drug dealer and a criminal. I’m sure there will be plenty of drug dealers and criminals congregating there, so the name is appropriate.
Why not just dedicate it to Thug Culture?
I went to the pastor’s website. Looks like a clown show. Their greater concern is political activism than saving people.
Church webpage has his picture displayed, but nothing about the Gospel - what does that tell you?
“...what is going to happen to the economic opportunities in our city and we hope this is going to be the epicenter for Sandtown Winchester,” Bryant said.”
Gonna be a whole lotta jobs created by naming your youth center for Freddie Gray, a drug dealer.
The yute center.
Over here we have “negotiating drug deals” classes
Over here we have the crack rock cooking area
Over there we have blunt rolling 101
Over there we have the Obama [pbuh] shrine
And right over here we have federal government job recruiters
Memorialize the criminal but take down the Confederate flag.
Makes perfect liberal sense.
This guy Jamal makes the Pope look good by comparison
Good riddance Freddy Gray! Your dead...tough luck...you got culled...now stay that way!
Black culture is a parody of itself. They can put the youth center in the same building as the ex-felon crime prevention group and save the cops an extra trip.
Nathan Bedford Forrest is way more worthy to have a youth center named for him. By the end of his life, you could definitely say he did more for black folks. (Some of us don’t consider selling drugs to be helpful.)
The Freddie Gray Youth Violence Center — so blacks can organize to attack whites. The ‘church’ sounds like a cult...
Why not a Church in Howard Beach Queens dedicate a youth center to John Gotti. Or since he was brought up Jewish a Synagogue in the Bronx dedicating a youth center to David Berkowitz (Son of Sam). Or a Church in Chicago dedicated to Al Capone? Bammy and Rahm would do a nice photo op at that one.
