Did you remember his name from the series, and piece it together yourself?


In reading the description of of his story as a child, his mother did what she could do to help him in school. . She identified the resources that were available to them, and took advantage of them. Proactive parent. Unfortunately, that's not always enough.

I was searching for additional information on this story and it all came up pretty quickly.

It almost looks as though theres a correlation btwn poor educational opportunities and violent crime, in our community. A predictable one.



But i could be reading too much into it :yeshrug:

OR THE LOW INCOME COMNUNITIES

I want to say bof stasticis support it.... But most of the ppl I know, who made it out the gutta lived in low income communities yet had access to or saught out decent to great education systems. Myself family included.

Many of the bum nikkas I know are from the burbs. I have childhood friends from the burbs who sought the hoodrat life growing up. Now they barely have a HS degree. But I was the one who was actually raised in trap houses. :yeshrug:

Tuesday, Hodges said that Longstreet and Adams-Wright "stood over" Hudson and "fired multiple rounds into his body."

Furthermore, Hodges disclosed that forensics determined that shell casings recovered at the murder scene matched casings found at several crime scenes in Minneapolis and St. Paul "over the last year and a half."


Hope they never see outside of the penitentiary walls the rest of their lives

Just read this story. Ran all those involved down and arrested them all.. Good shyt.. More funding is needed just to teach kids shyt their parents could've taught them for free.. All disagreements don't need to be handled with violence.
