I made a promise to myself that I would not go on anymore rants on social media. In essence, this blog is the idea that of expressing thoughts that could benefit more than just myself. It is one designed to uplift and promote people to think for themselves. One subejct that has always been an issue with me is the escalation in violence that occurs in most impoverished areas of this country. I mean there is no excuse for the idea of a poverty stricken area to have unreal statistics in violent crime!
Its sad that on the weekend of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ that we have another incident of violence in the Birmingham metro. On Saturday night at a family oriented carnival in Center Point, Alabama 4 people were shot, including a 1 year old child. Now I do not know what led up to this and I really don't care! My concern is knowing that some people have no regard for life at all!
There are lots of solutions on the table but nothing takes the place of parents raising their children first! Myself and like minded people can only do so much with mentoring a few hours a week. Its going to take parents making that extra step to make sure that their children are not becoming a menace to society. There are no excuses at all for sensless violence at all!
While we continue to rebuild the devastation that has been done to our communities by sensless violence, we have to reach these parents in the same context we want to reach the youth!
