Mother, friend of 22-year-old man killed in Orange Mound block party shooting speak about violence 

It both can't have one without

We need no Gun's in our Country when is this Law Going to take justice

@@sabrinavasquez7926shit u ain’t taking my guns 😂

​@@djaytv1621Exactly. Mine either. It's not the guns it's who handles the gun and what's done with it. No one is taking my gun from me because the government will eventually come after all of us. Be prepared.

​@@sabrinavasquez7926give up your guns. How would we protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. There is no way way. The forefathers of this country gave us that right for a Reason. You don't just give that up. Your comment is weak

Thank you for responding pray for them 🙏🙏

@@StarReed-ub2sk Prayers will not help. Too late for that. They are gone with the wind gone. Look at the person that was interviewed. Color with the color? My 2 year old speaks better than that. Really?

@@imhereforitall9218 I disagree with that.. peace and love

@@StarReed-ub2sk Nah. I am a person of reality. There is not always hope. Some people are just hopeless. That is the reality. No sense in playing polly anna.

Exactly.

This was a school day ceremony if you graduated high school seniors had a ditch day and they the seniors meet up at a certain spot have a good time People just evil

Not everyone has an opportunity to learn an actual trade. You’re very fortunate. There are plenty of opportunities to work but not to learn a trade. Consider yourself very lucky.

Thats true but these kids want an opportunity why not help them and I mean you have to really want to change

I definitely agree with you. Congratulations to you as well. If you want better, YOU'LL do better for SELF.

Yea her ass saw them. Probably didn't say shit to his ass about it. Matter fact, she probably liked the life he lived. Now that he is dead, all of a sudden she cares.

Amen... Living a saved life, is the best life. It's sad and pray for his family and these young people, to realize Satan is destroying their future.

Prayer has never helped the Black community achieve anything as a collective. Accountability, education, opportunity and an elevated mentality is what's needed. "I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs." ~Frederick Douglass

2 Timothy 3 really explains this generation! Without Jesus Christ they will be doomed!😢🙏🏽🌅

​Frederick Douglas was a advocate for the white people so he didn't have to pray for nothing? He was educated and with that being said he made a few smart moves?But black people need to have prayers 🙏 in the day to keep us aligned if you competent enough to relate to that?🤔

He really struggled trying to find which victim card to pull out. Am surprised he didn't say how climate change caused it.

@@andrewczski1969shame on you , the fact you bought climate change into the subject shows your ignorance ; I’m not pulling the “ card” your comment validates it still exists.

What is wrong with you ..

What a hateful thing to say SMH

@@Bugg88 plenty of black millionaires. where is they help ?

​@@TheOrangePatriotAs soon as they get up, they don't give a $#it about anyone else! They just think being at the strip club making it rain is what it's all about!

Actually, you do! It's called 4 acres and mule. Why don't yall mother motherf"rs come together and provide us with that promise so we can live amongst ourselves and then you can properly say that you owe us nothing.

Whom was living by the sword. The victim or the aggressor. Looks like a bunch of dumb kids doing dumb 💩.

Yeah ...she sounds ridiculous

Stay in school young man. Start with stop stealing and killing. Help yourself young man. If you can sell drugs and pick up a gun, you can pick up a book and a skill and GO TO WORK. Stop blaming others for your failures.

He wasn't a child but it was her child u sound crcr it was a party for the block u could be walking your dog and some one start shooting what u go say u shouldn't be walking your dog tf

​@TheProsparity How you know he's Stealing and killing stop assuming 💩

@@lovelydenise38 you didnt see the videos he posted with his guns and shit before he got killed ?

Can’t blame the parents

@@pgdopeongang4872 Yes you can. Did you hear how that ghetto mom sounded? SMH.

There is definitely something in place within the system that’s not up for argument. But you also have to be wise enough to move above it but unfortunately for some of our people it’s to late by the time they mature enough to understand the damage is already done

Totally agree. You go and you assume the risk. Those people are totally feral. The news media is doing nothing but exploiting Black pain which has been done for eons.

It's normal because it's been happening .

Prophet Process told me way back in middle school , don't fool with Orange Mound ... Smh

Right!!!

😂😂😂 aye frr

FACT!

Bums with no real mothers that kicked out the fathers

Lies.

“The reason individuals are doing wrongful acts are do no jobs available.......??

Houston Dallas and ATL got plenty of jobs. Same violence and Same nonsense.

Pick cotton?? Leave the drugs alone!

Do what?? 😵‍💫

No body believes one word of his incoherent rambling.

​@@deewestside7787Hopefully, but I'm not going to hold my breath!

I mean they favor the kids that run out of our stores with garbage bags. Sometimes its how you act and carry yourself that will either make a person want to help you or not hire you but its always on the person who's trying to get hired i know i am in management

Just another day in Memphis

this was a random mass shooting not targeted, he could not have "invited" the violence

Yes sr my brother I made it out a tough neighborhood in New Jersey Trenton 30 years ago now fast forward got a family went to college married almost about to payoff my mortgage it’s possible and I’m black male we just have to learn and look in the mirror with a plan and be realistic through tough times

😮 @DCHawk1993 What have YOU done for that community since you made it out??? Yeah, Lots of talk!

​@@robcarter533nobody the owes the so called community anything. Tell them to stop commenting crime

Facts 💯

We want free stuff! We out here begging for reparations. Please?! Jus a little loose change. Yo.

@@timbaldwin6283 ummm I have a feeling you’re not black 😆

​@@timbaldwin6283Black Americans will never get reparations. America will never allow Black's to become another Black Wall Street. All the other Races will lose money.

You lucked up. Could have been gone. We ain't Shyt. Children don't stand a change.

💯

It's a Lost Cause.

Not every Black person! You're making generalizations!

It's what the media shows. The interviewer for the show Cops said it best that you get more views when they're black.

@@SimplyCassandra1 ofc is not every but explain 6% of the population doing 52% of all americas crime.... explain that to me please, miss cassandra

can't blame white folks anymore. BLM changed all that for y'all. No more excuses. 🤷🏻‍♂

As a Black Guy, sometimes you have to move to where the jobs are located. You can't stay in the Rut you're in. Their some Red States that have more jobs than people, and GUESS WHAT!? They will hire even Felons, that's just how desperate they need workers, bottomline they need bodies. Also, in this day and age Hell, you can make money 💰 from your Smartphone. I bet he has Smartphone (mini computer) in his pocket. Everyone has a Smartphone, even the Homeless. A wealth of information on his Smartphone (Google, RU-vid etc) about how to make money from home, jobs, careers & business opportunities. No EXCUSES, especially for a young person, nowadays their more opportunities in America than ever before in History. Opportunities are NOT going to land in your your lap, you've got to go and get it!

much less a mush mouf

💯

NYC will you can have a misdemeanor and still become a cop. All city exams are free for black people only best job to get in NYC is sanitation. You get the best health coverage and quick promotions. The faster you do your route the rest of the day is yours. I am white took it 4xs got 100 on everything. The 4th time a supervisor remembered me and told me. I was the wrong color stop wasting your money and time. No excuse that black people don't advantage of getting city jobs

Correct. Stop fuckin up and getting into trouble in the first place. It is cultural rot. They claim there is nothing to do, but they all have cell phones and laptops where they can find jobs and careers. Matter fact, start on online based business. Hell, read a damn book. But those things aint cool and gangsta enuff. Well gangsta got this young man killed.

You haven’t been in a situation keep thinking you perfect you brain washed

Ditto. The news dips deliberately find ways to inject some horsecrap terms into their reporting.

💯 Also, suppose the promoter(s) had applied for a permit, but was subsequently denied? Do you think they would have cancelled the party? No, they would've had the party regardless.

@@nkotbsouth facts!!!!

I know right. Very Stupid reason. Their more opportunities in America than ever before in History. Leave Memphis if you have to! He's a young man. I bet he has a Smartphone, a mini computer in his pocket, everything he need to know is right there. Figure it out.

Stop asking a dumb question, like that ! Poverty stricken communities, have the highest crime stats in the nation. So yes education and jobs/ careers makes all the difference in the world!

@@sheppardjerome well destroying schools, putting all your emphasis on putting a ball in a hoop and rhythmically mumbling, being violent, and barely being able to read and write is not really going to solve anything.....much less the keedz having kids, the absent fathers, and the general disdain for civil behavior and lack of impulse control

​​@@sheppardjerome Thats because people who live in poverty stricken areas make poor choices !

​@@sheppardjeromeThey also have cell phones and computers. Find a job or start a business. Its is also cultural rot. You want something to do, then go sit at home and read a book. Figure shit out.

And for that matter, can anyone translate whatever that dirty Q-tip is saying, into English?

I speak Jive. He said he's in great pain and wonders if you have something to help him.

I understand him perfectly and I am glad you and some other people don't.

Basically he's blaming the system (white people) for the violence in his community that white people don't live in or ever go to.

He said gibs me dat!

It happens in other communities as well.

Yep. Extremely typical unlike other communities.

lol

Oh come on.... I'm sure he left a long time ago, the father probably got 5 other kids with other women

​@@ztomas1Do you know this family? He should be asking YOU about the whereabouts of his pappy as well as YOURS!!

@@Leroy-tj9jg all I need to do is look at this hood and I know where is father is.... probably in prison

Y’all are hilarious in this comment section 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, but what’s sad is y’all are probably not lying!

fa shi like dis. When its a permit that mean the police is involved and everything is safe

@@AOAMan do white people get permits to go to a park or is just because it's Memphis

@@DarnizzleMan everybody get a permit. White people have events at parks all the time and they have permits and police be deep at them mfs it aint a white or black things when its a big social event there should be proper structure and security.

PERMIT MEANS PERMISSION. We ABLE TO PATROL OUR OWN STREETS,

@@DarnizzleManyes, white people usually follow the laws when doing stuff like this.

It’s never too late to fix a community or a generation of people asking for help this is America we can do anything in this country this is Gods country and we are Gods people it’s not over for us yet brother

@@masterscholar6397who is gods people.

the issue is they sell dope. then you mix in the gangs... you need guns to serve dope and defend yourself... they let gangs in the party... i knew which parties nit to go 2. second 2 none came here some people in know got shot... nippy hustle came here somebody got kilt... people tried to get me to go... i refused...

Mess they made?!! You mean from white people stealing from blacks and native Americans everything they could then prey on us to lock us up and kill us?!? THIS WHOLE THAT SOME PEOPLE CANT HARDLY GET OUT OF IS WHAT AMERICA WAS BUILT ON HOW DARE YOU

I mean actually the government created that mess putting drugs and guns in the community. They tried to keep us high and train us. Im not saying you don’t have your mindset, but the problem is far out of hand. In your neighborhood I bet ain’t no liquor stores on every corner

Well the "hood" doesn't exist anymore. Public housing projects were demolished 15-20 years ago. People have a choice to clean up their neighborhoods to make them look nice. Now the "hood' mindset still carries on.

What the young man said doesn't validate your warped opinions. Politicians doing the right thing for their constituents does help to reduce crime!

And what do you be doing

Exactly
