As a black American father of a four year old myself, this hits pretty hard. I’ve done everything in my power to shield my son’s ears from the n-word and the filthy crappy rap “music” in which it is literally spewed in every line. Yeah, I would not appreciate my efforts being thwarted by some ignorant twats as I’m just trying to gather necessities at my local Target.
We face this kind of crap in the Bay Area all the time. Young black people assaulting civil decency on the sidewalks, on trains and buses, even in stores in this case, while the good white liberals just try to look the other way and turn the volume up in their iPhone earbuds, and everyone else just grins and bears it quietly.
I could’ve easily been that guy, saying something. I hope the perp’s get buried under the jail.
Dear Lord. I agree, the music today is poisonous, spiritually and emotionally. That man was doing the right thing for his children and sadly, paid the ultimate price.
I think this one of the worst stories I have read in recent memory.
God Bless you and stay safe! Your child is fortunate to have you...

If possible (I know, in CA, unlike here in TN with a Republican legislature and a Republican gov., that’s a big “if.”) you should get a CC permit and pack heat.
What we really need are Family supporting Patriarchs of all races like Tyrone Griffin, and civilization supporting heroes like traditional American Police Officers, Firemen and American Military personnel.
They need to be put in charge of defending civilization and that building block of civilization, the family, instead of being used to collect revenue for crooked politicians slush funds.
Amazing that the liberals are so good at ignoring the results of their policies. The liberals and excused and thereby promoted the worst behavior.
We keep airplanes at the Hawyard airport and the area outside of the airport makes me quite uncomfortable. Seems like the Bay area is either too expensive or too dangerous.
I cannot imagine how difficult it must be now to raise a young, black boy.
The peer pressure for him must be very high to conform in a way that you, as an adult, would find extremely objectionable.
If you object, that probably opens you up to unwanted (and probably, unwarranted) criticism from some quarters.
Good luck.
As for those two young men, there probably won’t be justice for the slain man’s family, and it will never get rid of the trauma for that child.
All for what doing what should have been done.
Good bless you and stay safe.
I drove for Trailways for two years and saw what you are referring to all the time. I’d have older black people on the bus that were model citizens. Many old enough to have experienced firsthand the kind of persecution that I’ve only read about. Then I’d have younger bunch that did their very best to be loud, obscene and disrespectful of everyone. I had a sweet old lady spend most of her time on her ride with her face in her hands obviously trying to shut it all out. I made a point of helping her with her bags at the end of the trip and chatting with her. She was a retired school teacher. Her age would have put her education and job hunting in an era when it took a black woman with incredibly determination and outright courage to achieve what she had. It must have broken her heart to see her gains squndered.
File this incident in your heart pocket; the memory may serve you well in the future.
Keep fighting the good fight for your son. It’s a lifelong fight.
