15 yr old performed at Obama's inauguration dead

Every person? No. 

The majority? Yes.

I'm basing this on my time rippin and running the streets with hood boogers and what I see in my work every day.

These same gangsters that are shooting up people have ebt cards. Whose address did they use? They have a place to lay their heads at night. Whose house is it? They go to cookouts, they go watch the game with they're buddies, they go get their dicks sucked by their baby mamas, and they keep their clothes and sh*t at their mama's house. They grow and sell drugs at or in front of somebody's house. People write their sorry asses when they're in jail and answer their collect phone calls. And it goes on and on.

All of that support makes it possible for them to keep doing exactly what they're doing. 

The "upstanding" citizens are just as bad as everyone else. My point is that the community as a whole is supporting these murders by providing support to the perpetrators. It's not a small percentage...it's nearly everyone. Very very very few people are willing to take a real stand and tell these murderers no, you can't come to the baby shower/family reunion/bbq/superbowl party or no you can't keep your clothes/gun/pills at my house or no I won't put money on your books or no you can't use my address or no you can't sit on my stoop or park your unregistered, uninsured, unlicensed car in my driveway. 

I lived in the hood, in foster care, and still work there today. I see this ish every single day and I'm honestly tired of it. People are in denial of the part they play.
