Mothers of gun crime victims march from the Springfield (MA) Police Department to City Hall to demand action from city officials

Tamara Clark was shot dead in Springfield on the evening of June 26, while she was sitting in a car on Oakland Street. She died the next day. The perpetrator of this heinous crime has yet to be caught and Tamara’s mother, Tangela Clark, took to the street with other mothers to demand action from the police and city officials.

Clark and her sister who organized the march, Juanita Batchelor, led families that had been affected by gun crime or supporters of their cause from the Springfield Police Department to City Hall to demand elected officials to take action to ensure safety in Springfield neighborhoods terrorized by gun violence and to provide justice to the families of those that have lost loved ones.

Maybe defund the police and see if that helps? The BLM protesters seem to have figured out that is the solution to everything.

Thug / gangsta / feral culture kills more blacks than guns.

Ironically, Springfield is where Smith & Wesson is located. Maybe it was chosen for that reason.

If you read the whole article it talks about the issues of letting criminals off on a light sentence instead of hard time when needed, then you get people protesting the inevitable violence. You can’t have it both ways.

demand action from the police and city officials.

The same people who will refuse to help the Police with information.

And they keep talking about gun violence when there is no such thing. We all know who is committing the violence in these cities.

The “perpetually aggrieved” victim groups are never satisfied.

That too. Ever watch “The First 48?” They follow Homicide detectives in various and it is a common theme where in some bad area, someone is killed and they know multiple people saw what happened, but suddenly no one saw a thing.

Keep your legs closed until you are married ladies. Guns don’t kill people, illiterate bastards do.

How about men acting like gentlemen and not expecting women to put out until after the marriage ceremony?

Why hang it all on the women to be responsible?

Keep it zipped then and grow up. Women don’t get pregnant in a vacuum.

Men are responsible to behave like civilized human beings rather than an alley cat.

And if the child is a bastard, it’s the man’s fault for not taking his responsibility to care for his spawn as he should and taking care of the woman he impregnated.

There wouldn’t be illiterate bastards is men acted like real men.

If there are illiterate bastards, it’s the man’s fault. He didn’t marry the woman.

Yes, very lovely. That will surely get him a legitimate high paying job and a piece of the American dream. Typical example of black culture, or lack there of.

Grow up & keep it in your pants. It’s called responsibility.

Very well said. Here on FR for some reason, “blame the woman” is the go to.
Bravo!
