BART Police Officer Kills Unarmed Young Black Man

It's sad to see the shit that goes on in the area where I'm from. This shit is ridiculous.

Institutions of Higher Learning Becoming Murder Scenes

It is not even safe to say that you will go to college to become a more intellectually and socially inept human being; you might have your life ended to a fatal shooting in your college dormitory. This year of 2007, there have been 3 major college campus shootings in the U.S.. The Virginia Tech University massacre captured 32 lives and 28 were wounded in April. Two people were shot at Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware earlier in September. The third shooting was at the University of Memphis in Tennessee and the victim was a young black man (whom was only 21 years old) whom played football for the university. He was walking out of his college dormitory last night (Sunday) and getting into his car to be shot and killed with a bullet lodged into his chest. He was found with his car wrecked into a tree not to far from his college dorm. Taylor Bradford was only 21 years old! I do not know the circumstances of how and why this young man was murdered, but I realized by the waking of this morning and alarming news of another fatal shooting on a college campus this year (all 3 shootings were all within the past 3 months) that a person cannot even go to college without worrying about being shot and murdered. That's 63 people that were shot this year on college campuses (that have been recorded), and 34 of the 63 people are dead. I wrote a blog about my theory surrounding MK Ultra and the Virginia Tech massacre, but I am not the one that should be speculating about the other two shootings. But, I will say this...

For a lot of people of color from impoverished neighborhoods, areas, and cities, the opportunity to go to college is a true blessing from God. For Black, Latino, and Polynesian males and females, to get the opportunity to go to college and getaway from the many troubles of the poor neighborhoods that a lot of us come from is a dream. A lot of us from these neighborhoods that grew up seeing all this crime and violence seen the gift of going to college as an escape from the reality that we have grown up with. We would never think it would be even a problem of being shot on a college campus, but now that's no longer a truth to us. Who would have ever thought that by going to college that you would have to worry about being shot and murdered? Definitely not me!

Peace and love goes out to the people and families that were effected by the shootings at Virginia Tech University, Delaware State University, and especially to Taylor Bradford at the University of Memphis. I can most relate to Taylor Bradford's case because he and I are about the same age, and I had a cousin get murdered in January of this year. God bless all of you! Please, do be safe!

Now what would cause someone to kill over thirty people then wound at least twenty-one others? What was going on in this person's life where they felt the need to walk into a dormitory and school of engineering building at the college, Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Virginia, and start firing an multitudinous number of rounds at other human beings that live, breathe, eat, sleep, cry, and smile just like the gunman does? This is when you know the end of times is near. Whomever your God maybe, you need to get closer to Him as soon as possible! We are living in truly chancy times and it is of the essence that the people of this Earth find some kind of solace within themselves and in their God. My prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims that were connected into this catastrophic and tragic event that took place this morning. I also pray that the gunman realize that he is in definite fault for what he has done to these innocent people. But, I am not one to judge; I am merely a bystander of this event from a desolate area hearing only of this news via Internet. I pray that all in this incident of the dead and of the wounded can have the strength to endure. Peace and blessing!
