I just cant wrap my head around this situation. It pains my heart to know that this 16 yr old boy from Chicago was beat to death. And it really bothers me because they caught this boy dying on tape instead of taking the phone they recorded the video with and calling the police. Not even one person thought of breaking it up. How could you stand around and watch some one get beat? What if that was your family? Would you just want someone to watch and video recored it?
Im so hurt because im an African-American and its hard to watch black on black crimes.
Gangs and gang violence is only going up in urban communities. And me myself I live in a urban communty. But im still not use to the violence. I feel as if people are starting not to care anymore in the urban communties because of the so called "NO SNITCHING CODE"! It really bothers me that someone knows the people who killed this boy but refuses to tell. Yes there are four men in police custody, but in the video you can clearly see its more than four men jumping on this one boy. When will these ever stop? When will we ever get tired of seeing young black men with so much potential die?
Its time for our urban communties to take a stand against gang violence and even the city.
Im from Cleveland, Ohio and we have this network that helps with gang violence and more if you would like the sit is www.ClevelandStance.com
