No justice for the Browns

This past weekend the announcement  of  Darren Wilson not being guilty of the murder of Mike Brown was made. This caused riots, looting, violence and in other places peaceful protest, but in Ferguson everyone was furious. The family themselves didn't want any negative outcome coming from this but retaliation come out. Police officers tear gassing crowds of people, police cars being set on fire and people burning buildings. All they want is to see justice, but what is justice really when police officers are getting away with murder? from Traction Martin, Emmett Till, and now Mike Brown. Three cases of white on black crime, what can we do as an community to make a better out come of this crisis.

Shootings in 2014 could top Worcester record

In 2005, the city of Worcester had 33 shootings, but this year there's already been 31 shootings with 3 deaths. Police officers and Gang Unit say that these are gang related activity. Since the Christian A. Obeng-Addo, there's been at least 4 related events after. Police are worried about passing the recorded but are more worried about the youth who are involved in the gangs. They want to see what they can do for the youth to not be included in these activities. Reach out to them and see what is a better alternative for them. As we still have this year to finish up, we as a community, don't know is going to happen. All we can do is hope for a better day, and make sure that our family and friends are safe.
