“There’s not enough for the kids of New Iberia to do," said Johnson-Reid. "We’ve got to figure out the way to put some programs out here, so our kids have something else to do… another way to kind of handle their anger, teach them some discipline, so we don’t have this gun violence that’s happening way too often in the city.”

well....they were 16, so they are in school right mom?
basketball, football, baseball, soccer, track, tennis, as well as a slew of other academic clubs if homeboy sucks at sports that they could participate in all for free.

We have these libraries that we are forced to pay for with our taxes that supposedly have shite to do at them.


You could also maybe make sure your kids are in bed at a decent hour on a school night instead of running the streets.
You could also maybe be a part of their lives and talk to them about not looking up to piece of shite role models, and maybe guide them away from the kind of people, entertainment, and after school activities that would further perpetuate the thug life they seemed to look up to, you know, be a parent.
