I AM NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

I am confused and afraid
I wonder what path I will take
I hear that there’s only two ways out
I see mothers bury their sons
I want my mom to never feel that pain
I am confused and afraid

I pretend all is fine
I feel like I’m suffocating
I touch nothing so I believe all is fine
I worry that it isn’t, though
I cry no more
I am confused and afraid

I understand people believe I’m just a statistic
I say to them I’m different
I dream of life getting easier
I try my best to make my dream true
I hope that it does
I am confused and afraid

Rose was a great kid who happened to be in the wrong car. Neither that nor being black was a reason shoot him in the back.

I didn't work for me. I couldn't get into the flow.
Was I supposed to huff and spit while I was reading it.

 

[Desperado]

Who the fuck is Antwon Rose and why should I care?

What in God's name are you talking about now?

Just a guess but I would say he's another dead thug.

He probably was involved in that drive by, wasn't he? It's sad to see young people take that path, but listen to the kid--he was confused and AFRAID. Gang life is a lot more powerful a force in those neighborhoods than most of us can understand. ALL kids have dreams; all kids have an inside like that if you listen hard enough. At least at some point they do, before it gets crushed out of them by hardness.

I'm so glad she shared it. It makes me want to cry, though.

I can't feel sorry for mother who don't remove their children from those environments.

The officer that shot him is charged, and likely will go to jail.
It was a bad situation that could have been averted had the two teens simply cooperated.
So...why didn't they cooperate?
Well gee, they were driving a stolen car with two unregistered hand guns, loaded with extra ammunition in his pocket. One of the handguns is tied to several other crimes.
They would have likely went to jail for extended periods. So they ran.

Antwon Rose was a thug who would have likely committed murder on someone else by now.
Riding in a stolen car, with multiple loaded weapons and extra ammunition.... yeah....they weren't exactly on their way to a community volunteer group for a love in.

It is absolutely atrocious that the lives of law enforcement are being ruined because of these unsociable thugs.

Why would you grieve someone who was trying to kill?

Oh yeah - REAL easy for a poor black Mom to move out of the ghetto and on up to the eastside.

Never mind. You read his poem, you read my post. If you still don't get it, I can't explain it to you.

You shouldn't - as a Trumpling you lack the empathy gene

Get your facts straight - Antwon was an honors student. He was in the wrong car at the wrong time. He had an EMPTY clip in his pocket. The guns did not belong to him. Take your fake news elsewhere please.

I think he made his "choice," Doc. He was most likely involved. Still sad as hell.
