As sad as the story is, the Mom and Dad should have done EVERYTHING in their power in 1994 to try to get out of that community and into a safer area for raising their surviving children.
Instead, they embraced the ignorance and entitlements handed out by the Democrats and liberals (Hell, the Mom is wearing an Obama T-Shirt) and stayed in an obvious dangerous situation.
I wish I could believe that. Until there is a major change in attitude and values, expect daily repeats.

Here's the truth:
You raised at least two thugs, probably more. They died because you failed them as a parent. Faced with failure 15 years ago, you did not change your ways and raised yet another career criminal who died they way he lived - neck deep in crime. It is not my fault, society's fault, the police deptartments' fault, or the fault of anything or anyone else you will try to blame it on. IT IS YOUR FAULT MS. SMITH. Now live with it.
80% of present day LR is a hellhole.
Her last name is Smith-one son named Molden, one named Jackson. She was 18 when she had Molden—Five kids in all-no mention of a husband-ever. No mention at all about what this 48 year old woman does to earn a living.
This story writes itself.
It’s the CRIMINALS who want you to ‘stop snitchin’
This has become a back-asswards. A ‘snitch’ or ‘rat’ was someone who PARTICIPATED in a crime, but then turned in his accomplices in exchange for a lighter sentence for himself.
IT has evolved into meaning ANYONE who tells the police anything.
We need to teach young people that you are NOT a ‘snitch’ you are a WITNESS and need to get these crimilas off the street before they steel from or kill you or your mother.
I’m starting to these troubled, inner-city, “good boys” should really stop trying to “turn their lives around”.
Seems like every time one does, he ends up getting killed or killing other people, or both. Think about it, have you ever seen one of these fellows, who wasn’t “turning his life around” be involved in a killing? /sarc
Either that or perhaps parents and family members should stop lying to the media and admit that their little thugs were actually escalating their criminal activity and had no intention of “turning their lives around”.
Sad story? Like I’m supposed to care about a gang banging, punk ass, drug selling loser? Good riddance.
Oh, that’s right. He was “a good boy” who “loved his mother.” Right.
My give-a-damn gave out quite some time ago.
As someone posted on another thread some time ago, if you presented this story as a screenplay, the producers would toss you out on your butt for filling it with such hateful stereotypes.
A sad reality of life in the black community. One consoling piece of info is that blacks live better in the U.S. than they ever did in Africa. I guess it all goes back to what you do with your life and how you build your surroundings. If you don’t have, you probably didn’t build.
And we know for certain that 60 years of programs aimed at bettering the black community just ain’t working because progress comes from within.
How many people did Mom snitch on? Her son would be alive had she taken control, but she waited until it was too late. How many people will she snitch on now? None? People like her enable the drug users and killers. I feel sorry for her, but she has some guilt in this, too.
My only question...What was that Amish boy doing in the Pontiac to start with?
A major Little Rock politician had their daughter murdered and thrown out on a bridge and nobody knows a thing about that either.
“Fifteen years apart. I cant question God, but I want to know why.
My dear lady, where was the young man’s father?
Boys with fathers in the home get murdered, too. But the odds are heavily stacked against it.
Fathers, stay with the family and raise your kids.
correct me if i am wrong, but God does not control the actions of men. especially men with no faith. so please, mom, don’t look look to Him for answers. look in the mirror.
“ the consensus is that no more than five to ten people in a hundred who die by gunfire in Los Angeles are any loss to society. These people fight small wars amongst themselves. It would seem a valid social service to keep them well-supplied with ammunition.” Jeff Cooper
AMEN!
