Y’all get on here clowning about crime and deaths. You’re worried about snitches and your parents and children aren’t safe. WTF? When you know better you do better, when you do better, you want better not only for yourselves, but for those you love. This doesn’t have to be how “The East” is. Make it better.

Some of these comment are freaking gross!!! Grow the hell up!!! If theirs was somebody in your family your tongue would be spitting something different and you all with these trash comments poking fun, are exactly what’s wrong with this community. DONT HIT THE STREETS SCREAMING BLACK LIVES MATTER!! You’re a JOKE!! Black lives can’t matter to you when you make TRASH COMMENTS like these and I bet there are some gang bangers in these comments knowing what happened in its entirety but y’all ain’t gon speak up until the shid hits your door. Smfh Yoy young dudes in these streets need to get a real life. You don’t even know nor nearly understand that you are literally ending your lives before it even begins .. all for what? Street credit? For the next MAN TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO? lmfaOOOO. Yeah that’s soooo gangster .

This is truly heartbreaking. This young man is same age as my son. I can’t imagine the heartache his parents and family are feeling right now. Everyday my son leaves the house he’s at risk of losing his life and many times with no fault of his own. I pray everyday he makes it home safe. I will pray the strength for his parents and family. I wish these young kids stop killing and value their lives and others lives. RIP young man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😞

BLM is in response to COPS unjustly killing black people not WHITE people killing black people. I can see the confusion as most of the cops involved in these shootings are white. Not all though. Anyway, Don’t get it twisted and spark unnecessary angst, 75% of the BLM protesters are white. It’s systematic racism supported by policy and that needs to be addressed. Besides, this isn’t about BLM but Communities seriously need to stop turning a blind eye to violence. 99.9% of perpetrators in these instances don’t get caught meanwhile (apparently) everyone knows the victim and chances are the victim knew the shooter. Violence is violence doesn’t matter who it’s coming from or who the victim is. You either choose to accept it or try to change it. Right now it’s a whole lotta accepting (and joking) going on. Sad
