Per (multiple sources) the St. Louis County Police Chief, “Martin had a criminal record that included three assault charges, plus charges of armed robbery, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.”
Per the Mom, “He’s like any other kid who had dreams or hopes,” she said. “We loved being around him. He’d push a smile out of you.”

Until these Mom’s get a clue, and ACT from day 1 of their kids’ lives like they (the Mom’s) truly value them, this won’t get any better...
I don’t foresee it getting better....if you note at the Protests it’s generally the woman who have megaphones and or shouting the loudest....another reason why blackmen don’t like to date black woman...loud and overbearing.
The woman will not admit they’re children are criminals because to them to do so they understand that reflects on them...and for a black woman to add that to her already misplaced values would seal her ultimate demise. Children, and having them are her only source low income work....too they are to her a crown of achievment. Twisted thinking yes, however it’s what she has...her right to have children.
Until the black woman is reached with reframing of her attitudes and mindset nothing will change...and for many they don’t want to...why work and sacrifice when you can bear children and earn an income by staying home doing what you will. The state will pay your rent, feed you and your children and provide medical.....with a side job under the table a black woman does better than most earning a living without benefits.
The other thing is the black community wants acceptance as it is, without the necessary changes they need to make in their culture. I am not a racist but have been accused of that because I don’t like their culture. There is a difference.
I just don’t think things are going to change without any lasting effect....no other culture in this nation has had more money thrownit’s way, programs and various other measures than the black culture....yet they continue to complain rather than take advantage of these programs, I speak mainly of the low level blacks.
well....we’ve been over this many times on these threads...it’s like we’re all waiting for the “children” to stop they’re temper tantrum so life can get back to normal.
Some will rise above this looting etc. but most I’m sure will not.
