SMDH - young folk need something better to do this summer - need more jobs, more basketball leagues - the DA Bragg is no friend to us
The parents have to care enough to sign them up for it months in advance and their are lotteries to get in them... these people have no idea what they're talking about, kids can't even sign up for it alone
Washington Heights has the narrowest streets with wild hills. How could anybody that's sane speed in that neighborhood.
@pefma but that’s not what happened They Lost There Lives and they are children have some respect….
Glad to know jeep driver survived
Y’all sound ignorant af. I’m quite sure most criminals have active parents. You can’t control what these kids do these days. Don’t fault the parents
@bo0g please don’t do procreate, parents are the only ones to fault. Parents are supposed to guide, advise and make sure their kids are in bed at 6:30 in the morning, not stealing cars
