Black men and Black young boys without fathers in THE HOME, raised by Single Mothers have to talk or war.Only real Black men can stop this bad behavior.

East Chicago is a dangerous city, just like Hammond and Gary. Too many people caught up in the street life and looking for their enemies or a quick come up. This sounds like it may have been a case of mistaken identity. RIP to the young boy, this is sad.

At one in the morning?
I just do not understand the Wakanda culture.

I don't EVER recall a time in my life when my parents had me outside at 1 AM for ANYTHING at this age. So many of these problems are because of bad parenting...on all sides.

South Side shenanigans. Go ask Pastor Flaeger how to solve the black gun problem! Go ask white Jesse Jackson how to fix the darks 😂😂😂😂

Anyplace Andrew Holmes hear about a kid being shot he's there. No thanks to the community activists, pastors, or politicians in the area.

50 last year in actual Chicago, ILL, shot. Under 12. 50 kids under 12. And the trend continues this year although this was East Chicago, Ind.

I might not be the smartest in the room but I’m no dummy them parents into some shit and unfortunately it cost this innocent 8 year old his life 💔

[waristhewealthy]

Beautiful young man and what these gangstas in the street don’t understand is they are playing their part perfectly for the system that already has a knee on their necks. You need these young kids to navigate through the drama in the streets and prove a dream of empowerment and equality…unfortunately those caught up in their part can’t see any other way than self destruction and extermination…facts🤨

Please, let's not forget the approximately 1430 black Americans who have been murdered in Chicago since George Floyd happened. Today is 7/19/22. Add about 2 murders for each day..

Andrew Holmes. You have my highest respect

First of all, only 6 We send our condolences to this family. No outrage from the community leaders, pastors, and pro athletes/celebrities. They are only interested in criminals engaging in crime and running and shooting at

[deuce]

BLM?LeBron james?Al sharpton?liberals?where you at where's the outrage where's the anger the protests. I guess their to busy to care about this. Completely sad no telling what that child could have become what he could have done for his community the country.

[durece]

Ban ghost guns off the streets and online, unless you'll be imprisoned!
