Makes Me Wanna Holler

Welp. So much for justice or peace. Less than 24 hours since my last blog, we get news of a 17 year old shooting 3 civil protesters, killing two. There is video of his walking down the street brandishing a long rifle after firing his weapon. He walks tight up to the police to surrender. But his actions are rewarded with an attaboy as he's given water to refresh himself. This killer crossed state lines to agitate and returned home without a scratch. Protests have come from the NBA,  Hollywood and across the nation. The grief is undeniable. Unfortunately, the news is already trying to spin a nefarious story to blame the victim rather than the perpetrators. Adding insult to injury,  they brought "local leaders" on the news to explain the "emotional" people of color and their need to vent and burn things down. AAAAHHHH!!!! I have to scream as I watch the chaos unfold. This brings to mind Tamir Rice. This innocent 12 year old was killed for having a toy gun. I was born and raised in Cleveland so this slapped very hard. The disparity of race is abundantly clear. I don't think I could make it any plainer or clarify further. I try not to get on the proverbial soapbox, but I can't hold this inside. How do you cope? How do you vent? What is your release? Speak to me. Share your thoughts below. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
