This is what I call the senseless and enigmatic demise of our people. One man dead and the other's future is dead........... 

Why?
Why?

Nothing short of a genocide. More black people die in the streets of our American cities than soldiers over seas. & The sad part is, most of these homicides are committed by blacks...
