I wanted 2 know how people have felt about the murders in Oakland and especially the way it has been covered by the Media. It made me angry how it was like they were just using them as numbers as numbers to be able to get more police and just lock up more people. I feel like the young men who lost their life should be remembered as people and not just a number. I knew two of the boys who were murdered. They were just so young and it was not their fault and they desevr more respect. I am going to write in a letter 2 the editor 2 some of the local papers. Let them know the kind of people they were. Cause its just makin me feel like they don't really care. Like all these ignorant ass people are just pickin up their papers and sayin oh isnt that 2 bad another young black male youth is killed by his own-must have been their fault-must have been shot-must have been drug realted-must have been gang related-they must have been bad- they must have just been stupid. They probably think all these things and just move on with their day. WE need to remember that while people may think this its NOT true . We all need 2 do something. Cause this shit is going 2 far. My one friend was only 17!!! 17!!
We gotta start trying to make some changes in our community. Im bout 2 just start being aggressive and just fight to get a teen center to get something positive 4 us youth in Oakland. Cause its just so negative right now if anyone wants 2 help or has suggestions please do cause its gonna take hella work. And if not just do your part to be positive or let someone know that these numbers had faces and have loved ones hurting 4 them. Somethings gotta change cause I dont want to lose anymore friends.
