I want to go back to my youth where I innocently played outside and never saw violence, let alone cops that weren't on TV.A Free Spirit Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875209868146874354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731199254031995617.post-83693054250010090802008-09-24T15:46:00.000-04:002008-09-24T15:46:00.000-04:00Of course, I too am addicted to the show and I am ...Of course, I too am addicted to the show and I am a cop. I recently had a discussion with one of the Asst. Chief's here in DC and I told him that until our people change their way of thinking about their own lives the crime and violence in our communities will never stop. Until it is burned into the minds of our children, that they are our future, death and greed will prevail. After 18 years of seeing our young black children...because it's no longer just the males, shot,rape,beat and rob each other and the seniors of our communities, no story is unbelieveable to me. Prayer is truly warranted for our people!

It's sad but very informative and provocative show.<BR/><BR/>As for the low value of life, yes, I agree that although we are beautiful people, there are many issues taking place long before the crime has been committed which eventually releases itself, in the form of violence and total disregard for human life.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904024507867487521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731199254031995617.post-76614559157214601112008-09-24T12:13:00.000-04:002008-09-24T12:13:00.000-04:00I watch that show (The First 48) and sometimes I h...I watch that show (The First 48) and sometimes I have to turn it off. I get so depressed and disgusted with our people. People lose their lives quick over some of the most ridiculous stuff..Life is so fragile,so fleeting..I thank God every night when I put my key in the door ,that I made it through yet another day.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325582825431855883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731199254031995617.post-70561751347514305842008-09-23T17:13:00.000-04:002008-09-23T17:13:00.000-04:00Tammy , we have to realize everyone was not raised...Tammy , we have to realize everyone was not raised by C.

Well, there was more to the story. When he went to get his money the man, who was white, started throwing racial slurs his way. He said he blacked out and ended up throwing the man down the stairs and beating him to death.<BR/><BR/>When I saw his 15 year old baby face, all I could do was cry. It's just so sad. <BR/><BR/>I pray for our people every day. Since Barack has been running for President I have hoped that black children will see that anything's possible. Something's got to give. Yes, I have wonderful children, but I feel for those who get lost to the streets and God knows what else.<BR/><BR/>All I can do is pray.Strongblkwmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943807196468824583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731199254031995617.post-91592803954175036292008-09-23T13:54:00.000-04:002008-09-23T13:54:00.000-04:00Great question to end with and I don't have a clue...Great question to end with and I don't have a clue to an answer. I've gotten into that show also. I don't like the show, but I keep watching it. It's saddest when the victim and the perp are juveniles. It;s unfortunate that something gets sown into the heart of these kids that cuts off the flow of love I probably take for granted. Based on your previous post and your daughter's comments, you've done a great job of sowing love and wisdom into her. <BR/>Know matter how angry someone makes me feel, I eventually am reminded by God that they are his and if they need punishment, or correction, or to be put in their place, he'll handle it. <BR/>Without God in my heart, and on my conscience, I'm not sure where I'd be today.SLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730433154344252585noreply@blogger.com
