For the fourth consecutive night residents, police officers, and news crews converged on East Flatbush Brooklyn Thursday to take part, respond to, and report the outrage over the fatal police shooting of 16-year old Kimani Gray. Carol Gray told Pix11, “He’s not the public’s angel. But he’s my baby. And he was slaughtered. And I want to know why. Even after the first shot, second bullet, why third bullet, why fourth bullet, why?”
Gray’s mother seemed to acknowledge the negative characterizations of her son now swirling in the media.
Statements made by the NYPD that Gray was armed, his gun recovered at the scene and other media reports that the teen was an alleged gang member.

Well, of course. But many fathers are falling down on the job. They are not protecting and providing for their children and are out womanizing and drinking and drugging and acting like idiots.
The rioters are NOT the owners of the property they are destroying. They don't care if stores get wrecked, as long as they get loot. And if a welfare residence gets burned out, the city will supply them with a new, fresh residence elsewhere, and new stuff.
Which means that in certain areas, they would not be able to have ANY sex.
One thing that Dr Laura said that was so true, and so infuriating to feminists was, in response to “what if the guy turns out to be a deadbeat”,
“pick better”.
She went on to explain that barring a severe head injury,
someone’s character doesn’t significantly change from the dating period to post-marriage.
(Also barring a “born again” situation, I would add, but that would be a positive change. I would be an example of that.)
Women would “pick better” if the consequences for choosing poorly were not alleviated at the expense of other people, at government gunpoint.
Humans are not animals that go into heat and HAVE to have sex.
Why? Because they can, and they see no upside in marrying and supporting some ghetto harpy and her brood.
Why do the women have babies with them? Because that's the way to get money without having to work.
What's the solution? Stop enabling bad behavior. End the welfare state.
We should take money from people who are working and give it to these poor city kids. That’s the solution.
I think some “black leader” has already forwarded that “solution”.
“the kid likely had either a deadbeat dad or a worthless dad.”
Thats my point, without TWO caring parents (or atleast one) this kid didnt have much of a chance. THE PARENT(S) failed this kid which in my opinion is why he is dead, not because the cops “slaughtered” him as the mother says. As far as hating, the only thing I hate is hearing the same story over and over with the people that are the root cause of the whole thing blaming the cops EVERY time. As for myself, I stayed in school, only a high school grad but I had two loving parents to keep me straight and that IMHO is the difference. Make no mistake, this problem begins in the home.
I don’t think giving them the money would help, but if they had a part time job and could develop some self respect, that would help. But the Democrats have seen to it that the urban areas are devastated and there are no jobs for teenagers.
I would rather they loot and pillage and destroy their own neighborhoods if it kept them from “channeling their anger” at whites who didn’t have anything to do with this kid being a thug.
As for others here who commiserate over punks like this only being a product of their environment that the collective “whitey we” have created is patent BS. The collective “we” have spent Trillions and Trillions of dollars, seized by our government from us, to create these idyllic paradises. What else do these ‘citizens’ want?
They, their masters (Jesse, Kwase, et al) took the money and doled out a pittance. Obama, subsidizes them perpetually with Section 8, WICS, TANF, SNAP, EITC, Pell Grants and on and on and on and on. And, these poor downtrodden innocents are “just a product of an environment” for which the collective “white we” are responsible. BS
I wouldn’t blame just the moms, the dads think it is manly to ride the baby around in the backs of their cars, like it proves they are a real “mayan” and their mothers, the baby’s grammaws fight the mothers for the babies. It is a steaming mess.
That’s right - he sowed the seeds. “This anger needs to continue; we just need a way to channel it.” ?? A bit too late to figure out what to do with it now, buddy. Sounds like he’s still conflicted about whether he wants them to stay angry or just to go away.
Spray them with sugary drinks to keep them in line!!!
Oh really? And what are the pathways out other than death?
Seriously and ideally, if the women only had sex after marriage to a well vetted, established, and upright man,
there would be a lot more established and upright men to choose from to marry.
Agreed. I should have added that it would be a win-win situation if they abstained.
weren’t you the lucky one? But personalizing the argument is not really helpful
In the history of mankind, has there ever existed a race or group of people that worked to perpetuate their victimhood the way blacks in the United States do?
So, it is society’s fault he turned to drugs and gang-banging? I’m not buying it.
I would like to see his school records, his class attendance records, to hear from his teachers. Was he an avid student, studying so he could get and hold a job, determined to change his life for the better? If he could not find ‘a job’ that someone paid him for, did he figure out a way to work and earn money on the side, so he could get out of his desperate circumstances?
Did he have the moral fortitude to know that it was HIS responsibility to work so others did not have to support him? Not his momma, not the government teat?
Signed, a mom and a teacher
