another killing in richmond ... whew, who would have thought that. Maybe if he was home early on a school night this wouldn't have happened. i dont even stop at red lights in richmond after dark.. PULL YO PANTS UP, TAKE OFF THE FAKE BLING, GO TO SCHOOL AND GET AN EDUCATION... im sure his parents were well aware of him being out ... would you honestly let your kid hang out in RICHMOND at 1245 ??
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that YOU may know how to answer everyone...Colossians 4:6 ....Citizen what is yo role in the happens in Richmond???? when was the last time you showed up @ any community or political rally for the youth of this city....Each one teach one....we have a tendency to sit back on high morals/or wat eva and talk about the youth....these youth didn't just drop out of the sky...these young people are ours & they (weather we like what they wear or wat eva) are our responsibility....what do we expect from them when really WE/YOU ME and OTHERS haven't given them A THANG....and we can't blame the SYSTEM!!!, the White Man or no body else but ourselves...so instead of talking that talk that don't move a grain of sand...find a community center, sit with a child and read a book to them...share some history...give them a glance at life through your experience and your vision for them...can't always tear down gotta built us somethin
@ elctown.. yes actually I have. I used to live on 7th St near Lincoln (around 2004-2007) and I used to walk my dog (dorkie) at midnight now and again. Was I afraid ? I'd have my eye open. Sure. But I wasn't part of the street activities down the street. I'm not a drutg dealer and the dealers knew and left us that weren't alone.
I'm glad to know everybody ain't scared...sometimes we dramatize the city of Richmond so much we believe the hype ourselves....I've lived in Richmond a long time and I'd rather face what I know vs what I don't know and I know this city.
It's really sad to see that were losing are children I grew up in the City Of Richmond and it all begin the senseless killings in 1991. It use to be a time when North Richmond, Central, and the South Side was 1 big family until the durgs started taking over are neighborhoods, streets corners and homes then it began a turf war of who is making the most money on the blocks and representing hoods. Let me explain myself a little more why they dont understand these street corners they fighting and killing for does not belong to anyone of them they dont own the land the ground or the corners they killing behind when its all said and done them corners gonna be their even after their deaths it use to be in the older generations that the children bury their parents and grandparents now its parents and grandparents burying their children this really need to come to an end. THE COMMUNITY NEEDS TO COME TOGETHER THE PREACHERS MEN OF GOD CITY OFFICIALS AND PARENTS NEED TO DO A MARCH LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING DID IN ALABAMA INSTEAD MARCH THROUGH THE CITY OF RICHMOND KNOCK DOOR TO DOOR IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS GIVE OUTLITERATURE ABOUT ARE LORD JESUS CHRIST IF 2 OR MORE COME TOGETHER IN HIS NAME HIS WILL SHALL BE DONE PEOPLE PEOPLE SATAN COMES TO KILL STEAL AND DESTROY DONT GIVE HIM THE VICTORY PEOPLE WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUEOR'S WE NEED TO PRAY HOLD PRAYER VIGILS PRAYER CHANGES ALL THINGS LOOK AT OUR PRESIDENT. WE NEED TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN AN YOUNG PEOPLE DONT LET ARE GENERATION GO ASTRAY GOD ALREADY FOUGHT THE BATTLE WHEN HE DIED ON CALVARY FOR US HE IS A FORGIVING GOD SO PARENTS IF WE ALSO START AT HOME WITH ARE CHILDREN AN TEACH ARE CHILDREN ABOUT GOD WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO US ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST ALL IT TAKES IS AN EFFORT GOD BLESS THE CITIZENS AND FRIENDS IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND
