Where's gravy asking for change?
Not one Facebook post or comment by MM or KB?
Where's Black Lives Matter?

Wayde Sims is the exact type of black man that people should be championing. By all accounts he was a great kid, getting his education, working with kids in his free time, etc. Where's the support and outrage at his murder?

Was he shot by a white cop?

Was he raped by a Supreme Court nominee?

Would you care if he wasn't an LSU athlete?

I think the better question is, Why is it such a big deal?

Is this reverse race baiting?

A lot of innocent people die all the time that we don’t know about or get reported on like they should. You only care because he plays for LSU. I’m sure if he wasn’t part of LSU athletics you would not be making a big deal about it.

Sounds like you’re deflecting and therefore minimizing his death. That’s a shame.

Quit being obtuse. It's been a huge deal. National news. Non stop coverage for a couple days. An arrest has been made. Today there have been several stories about how the alleged shooter was found and arrested.

A crime has been committed and a suspect has been arrested in less than 48 hours.

What more do you want?

Mass protests happen when the alleged shooters are known by everyone--including law enforcement--but no arrests are made.

Honestly, I'm always outraged at murder. It is senseless. And, it is worse when it is someone who's making a positive impact to society.

Remember Bryant Lee? His murder was equally as awful. We'll never know the impact that they could've had on the community and our world. Needless murders.

Both men were men that we should be celebrating.

Gravy posted about it 6 times. I quit counting. Gravy, as I said on here until my post was whacked, is a race-baiting unemployed but acts like he is uber-employed buffoon. He is running out of ammo. Once the Sterling civil case ends, he really wont have much. He grasps at straws.

Most blacks I know do not even know him. Why not? Most blacks I work and associate with do not even get on FB and if they do, they aren't like we are and desperately checking Gravy like many of us do. They aren't Uncle Toms either. They are good people, which believe that we are a good community. Smart people.

Wayde Simms is not one of Gravy's. He is one of ours. I promise you that most of us identify much more with Wayde than he does.

Gravy needs to address the random shootings in NBR area that are a weekly occurrence and not use this murder as his springboard.

The narrative. Bottom line. #BLM created it and people blindly followed. The stuff in the streets is just a by-product of white people keeping them down.

Blacks only care about any killing if they can attack whitey for political points or free stuff, they will riot over a thug POS like Sterling getting killed though

Serious question - any possibility that there may be more to this story we haven’t heard yet?

No one should ever pull a gun in a fist fight. Senseless and sickening. Gotta be a real coward to do that.
