OK, so not to be a troll, or heartless, but the story seems to leave a lot of aspects unexplored:

- the guy was walking home at 3:45 AM from "hanging out with some friends" a block away. Who were these "friends"? At 3:45 AM? Yes, I realize it is a free country, and all that, but at 3:45 AM on a Wednesday night / Thursday morning?? Sounds odd, to me.

- the fire chief link is interesting, but it doesn't really bear much on the story. Of bigger interest? He was in town to visit his mom, but he hadn't seen his dad since he arrived earlier in the week.

- four kids? At 35? I wonder how many baby mamas he had. Was there any animosity between him and his ex(es)?

I don't know the guy, and I know nothing about the shooting. But, there are some aspects/angles that could/should be explored and which may help shed some light on what happened. Something seems fishy about the whole thing. If it was truly a senseless killing, yikes! I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Summer is just getting underway.

He is a harsh reality:

The Police Need To Keep The Black Communities in Check.


'nuff said.

I believe we are experiencing part of a nationwide spike in violent crime, occurring in cities across the country. It's being referred to as the "Ferguson Effect."

Basically, criminals have become emboldened due to our national media's endless martyrization of violent criminals such as Mike Brown, endless excuses for inexcusable criminal behavior such as rioting, looting, and arson, and constant demonization of the police.

Increasingly, when cops respond to the scenes of crimes, they are being met by loud, hostile crowds, mostly black. This is causing police to back off and further emboldening criminals. As a result, violent crime is soaring around the country.

Here is a WSJ article that explains more.
