Title: Honor Student brutally beaten to death-gctid36701
Post by: KhepraEvolutionary on Sep 29, 2009, 12:44 AM
Greetings.
THIS VIDEO IS GRAPHIC AND COULD BE EMOTIONALLY DISTURBING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY HESITATION ABOUT WATCHING THEN DON'T!!
WE HAVE TO STOP THE BRUTALITY AMONGST US IN OUR COMMUNITIES!!
This young brother who was killed was an honor student.
However he still felt that he had to involve himself in this melee/gang fight by throwing a punch.

Did he feel pressure to be involved because his honor student status
doesn't allow him the falsely valuable "street cred" that is sometimes assist OUR youngsters to survive in some of OUR communities?
Or was he an honor student who got caught up in the infamous "mob mentality" and found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time and paying fatal consequence for it.
Regardless of the reason WE have to address the brutality amongst OURSELVES with the same outrage and intolerance that WE do if not more than WE do when the Police Brutalize US in OUR community.
No excuses and no double standards for brutality.
