govt street Shooting

quote:

While our team walked down 16th Street, we met Bradford Williams who says he’s lived here his entire life. “But the things that I’ve seen in the last 4 years is the decline of us not funding the programs that we need for the children to do activities. If you take away basketball, you take away football, you take away wrestling, you take away boxing. You have them shooting guns. What else do they have? The only other opportunity they have is shooting guns,” Bradford explained.

While clearly they weren’t forced to be a thug pos I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them playing sports and that should be an option for any teen, but it needs to be Sanctioned and they need to have reputable people in charge.

Of course there’s nothing wrong with them playing sports. Go to school and play sports there. Join a league at BREC. play soccer in an open field. Play basketball at any court you want.

Not having “programs” is the laziest most horseshite excuse for deciding to be a criminal. It’s complete lack of accountability.

Gravy said the crime is because of lack of job opportunities.

I know when I was between jobs I resorted to a few murders here and there. No biggie

I was a volunteer ref in a league that was comprised of 80% hip hop Americans and coaches. frick that shite. They can’t have nice things because they can’t act right. Only themselves to blame.

Honestly the entire area should be bought up, razed and redeveloped and the denizens shipped off to...I don't know...Atlanta.

DC? Detroit ?

Naw. Last thing you want is for them to actually learn to aim. Half of the actual shootings where somebody gets hit is them shooting themselves on accident.
