DC homeowner shoots, kills 13 year old Karon Blake after claiming he was breaking into cars

[saturn7]

poverty isn't an excuse, it literally forms the basis for a lot of inattentive children who are malnourished, stressed and unable to concentrate in any structured learning environment.

No doubt.
We can make endless excuses but some of these parents are neglectful. This is not just about diet.

Apparently Ant Glizzy got into it with the kids dad.

"you unblocked me to talk about a 13 year old"

dude is way too flippant talking about his son who was just killed.

edit:

@3:56
"i don't need to talk about dead nikkas" - the father

kid never stood a chance.

@4:30 Ant Glizzy tells the father that the kid was outside because the father couldn't give his child money because he was broke so he went outside and tried to steal it.

My cousin just told me one of her close friends is Karon's cousin. Apparently him being out there at that time of night is the norm. The reason the child was in the streets was because he was following in his dad's footsteps who runs the streets. The dad is or was on drugs and isn't right in the head.

Well to be totally fair breh, the main imagery that the world sees of young black males is that of thugs, shooters, drugdealers and gangbangers.

I mean, here's an extremely popular song that plays on mainstream radio. The song is called "super gremlin" , you may have heard it b4:



^^^^^^. This song currently sits at 244 million views, a song about a young black male singing about jacking cars.

The world has literally been conditioned and programmed to view black people (young black boys specifically) as menaces to society.

So yes, it's EXTREMELY easy to convince the average person that a young black boy was up to no good. A black males DEFAULT SETTING to society is that of a reckless and dangerous thug.

And what are BLACK MEN going to do about it?

Y’all understand that mainstream images (e.g. HIPHOP) perpetuate negative images of young Black men and influence how others see y’all, but DONT want to acknowledge that those same images obviously influence young girls who are watching the same media, and young Black boys who are also watching it (“it’s only music!”).

Well- this is what we get. These little black boys playing out the shyt that is rapped about in music and encouraged by the grown men in the streets.

If Black folks don’t get ahold of the “culture” and the “community” more of these kids will be gunned down by law enforcement or citizens and NO ONE will care.

Exactly. That boy never had a chance. It’s so sad

I’m from there.

I’ll just keep it real.

It’s really bad.

The youngins are laying people down like I’ve never seen before, and I’m of age to be there in the murder capitol years that NY rappers talked about with DC.

I can admit I’ve been scared the past few years more than ever before.

I used to wonder if it was an age thing, which explains some of it, but my whole life I’ve seen the worst of the worst, but for the most part you had to be a part of something or super unlucky to get got. Now, it’s different. You just losing your life driving down the street in a normal daylight.

True story - I’ve done and seen things I shouldn’t have have a teen. Never came as close to losing my life as last summer, driving from work 11am Wed and caught in shootout which resulted in me flipping my SUV. Random. Few weeks ago a mother died with same story, she got hit. I didn’t.

So yea. This is bad. I ask myself, is this how it felt in 1991 when blacks people supported the crime bill that we now hate? I don’t want to hurt my own, I love these kids…but what do you do?

I have a photo of myself in a youth jail from 2019, when I used to go talk to and help the youngins there…(they listen to me because I’m still cool and doing what they want to do, despite age gap), and one kid particularly stuck under my wing and asked to stand next to me in photo and we connected the most.

This 16 year old now is dubbed one of the biggest mass murderers in DC and is gone for good. You can google him.

I don’t have answers, but excuse my rant.

So sad. And I’m so sorry that young man was lost to the streets. 16 and it’s over. Amdh


And yea. You better believe another crime bill is going to come around because it’s necessary. And we’re going to go around in the cycle once again. Because we are not learning lessons and correcting what needs to be corrected.

I don’t understand how ppl don’t see the direct effect Hiphop culture has on the young. It’s like an endless cycle at this point: Hiphop influences the streets and youth culture, and the streets influence Hiphop.

Karon never had a chance. Look at his dad bragging about the fit and cost of his son's funeral outfit. This young boy never had a chance. Probably trying to follow in his fathers footsteps. "$1800 for the fit, Ya'll know I how I'm coming"...... That line pisses me off so bad.

Wow. I've seen enough / heard enough from the father. If that is him, he is trash.

Good parents are important.

13 yrs old out at 3 am... nothing good typically comes out of these scenarios unfortunately. I do hate the fact that the victims and alot of times the perpetrators of gun violence are early teen black males.

Will wait for the full story before passing judgement

if that's really the kids dad, the momma prolly aint shyt either. Karon never really had a chance . Two most impactful forces in a child's life - parents & their environment.

Only a matter of time this would happen. These kids here are wilding and folks are tired.
I live in DC and its hard to sympathize with these car jackers because there is number of resources available for these kids and they still choose to jack cars and shoot people. It's annoying to always be looking over your shoulder when in the city, getting gas, etc.

Its unfortunate but there is a huge underclass in DC that is hasn't experienced the city's newfound prosperity. Add broken households and communities plus social media, and these kids don't have a chance.

Facts. I spoke about this in another post. There’s so many savages roaming around D.C. because they legit cannot afford to survive in that city. You basically gotta make six figures to live (alone) there. Gentrifiers think they can move into Navy Yard, Rhode Island Ave and H Street like it’s all good not realizing there’s people a few blocks away living in disastrous conditions with NOTHING to live for. I remember the time before last that I was in DC. I was getting gas at that station in Mt. Vernon Square, around the corner from the convention center. 2am in the morning and it was a bunch of kids riding their dirt bikes and loitering around. I had to keep watching them to make sure they ain’t try nothing but eventually they pulled off. They couldn’t have been no older than 15-16. Out at 2am. I’m sure they went on to do a lot of fukk shyt that night
