Mo' Truth For Yo' Sweet Tooth...
This was a comment posted to the blog, but The Tazer has decided that it needed to be on the front page:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The killing will ONLY stop when all of us start taking personal responsibility for each other as a people.
Black people in particular need to go back to the old values that got us where we are and stop blaming everybody for situations in which we hold the true power. If your child won't listen to his mother, father, sisters, uncles, what makes you think the teacher can make him mind?
What makes you think the police and politicians can do for our children what WE won't do? We can change our commmunities and families. But we have to put up or shut up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being a young black man, The Tazer respects this opinion and the TRUTH that it holds. I believe that this blog is forcing all of us to do what is being said here: BE ACCOUNTABLE. Thank you to the poster of this piece. Your commentary is welcome anytime.

Until the City Government of Richmond and their self-proclaimed experts on violence prevention admit, THAT THEY ARE LOSING THE 'WAR ON VIOLENCE'this how it's always going to be!

ABSOLUTELY!
First step to solving a problem: admitting there is one.
