The Chicago Problem.....

I was born in chicago, spent a portion of my youth on 83rd street. We moved, because my family wanted to get away from drugs, and the warfare that is my city. Watching this video, I was hit first by sadness at the brutality and the stupidity of it all. As information trickles down and you find that the kid was an honor roll student who's life was taken for what?! This is Chicago M.O though, we've lost alot of lives in this city for nothing. The price doesn't add up. I'm grateful that my little sister and cousin go to Rich South because I couldn't stand to be watching them on this tape. But that's the point, their a million families out here hoping that its not their kid on that tape because IT CAN BE. Imagine not being able to walk out your house or to school or just around freely because at any moment your life can be taken from you. For what?! Because stupidity and ignorance and hate is all some of these kids know. and its sad as fuck. and wrong. fuck the olympics daily. Put that money on education so these kids can get more knowledge than Gucci man music. So that maybe we can have more schools and a better system that does more than babysit these kids for a few hours. Put money towards cops so the next this shit occurs theirs more than 2 cops sitting around watching a little kid get killed. Somethings got to give. We've been losing lives like this at a rapidly alarming rate for a while. How many fucking RIP T-shirts and funerals will it take to wake people up. I feel bad because this is a whole generation. lost. Sometimes we look this shit over because we know individually isn't shit that we can do. Sometimes we turn on the news and catch a glimpse at the modern day Emmit Tills, except its not white people who's doing the killing. Its US killing ourselves. We destroy ourselves while the world watches like its a sick TV show. Its fucking sad man.
