As a mother who lost a son to gun violence in Indianapolis in June 2021 I know this pain all to much. Until Black Lives Matter to black people it sadly will continue. Rest in the arms of Jesus young men.🙏🏾🙏🏾

Somewhere, Young Thug and Gunna are rubbing their hands together,
and exchanging *winks.*

Is everyone tired of these mothers and family members lying. “My baby ain’t like that”. It is sad he is dead, but he was a killer like the ones who came to kill him.

We will never be able to make any progress if we keep lying about the activities of these young guys.

Should have been home doing homework and watching cartoons. Thats what we did in 70s.

Dear Lord Please give Justin Powell and Malik Grover who have died for no reason at all a new life on earth amen!

No one deserves to lose their child like this. but parents these days have no clue what their kids are doing or the company they keep. not saying he was a bad child but someone in that group is the reason for getting shot at (the company you keep).

Man play they always say that these children bad as hell. There you go again the typical he was a good child okay

Can’t pull that baby talk u step out there like a grown Man U get dealt with like one yes it’s wrong but that’s the streets

Like his Dad said, this isn’t just an absent father issue. There’s a genuine rallying on part of the Dad’s… and much was misconstrued as absent when indeed fathers have been ostracized and wrongfully denied access to their own children by the mother.

Why are all these young Black teenagers killing each other in Atlanta? What's it all about?

[ThotamasPrime]

So sad when humans don’t care about another human life 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[missf]

My condolences to the families. This has to be so hard and it's always worse at Christmas everyone is celebrating the holidays and you are having a funeral 💔 so sad

[thomasstecyk]

Teen violence? Without the gun the child would still be alive. Why are teens so angry? Where did the shooters get the guns? Now two teens on their final march. So sad.

[shirlenapatterson]

Stop killing kids low life's stop killing anyone unless it's self defense I'm tired of hearing this $#i+ every day🥺😠😡🤬

[hortencia]

@PGppe How true that is. Condolences to the family.

What is so hard to understand. These kids are imitating what they see coming from the gangster rap culture we are now living with. That is the culture of these young people right now. There's no need to look for any other explanations for it.
