Piles of dead bodies, R.I.P. Dead Homiez, is this the tradition and the pride of L.A.?

In my opinion, the biggest problem these kids is no responsible parental figure. A lot of time their parents were in gangs also and they pass down this useless crap to their kids.

You wanna make it in America? There is only one way. FIGHT through education. The so called "privileged" people had to fight for their share of America, and you do to. College can help, friends can help, but not these kids making bad decisions, going to prison, doing drugs, carrying a loaded gun around.

I'm sorry but that's reality. It's not normal what these gangs are doing, it's a fantasy.

Reality is facing responsibility and doing stuff you don't wanna do. I don't have any sympathy for kids who wanna just rebel 247 and not face any of life's responsibilities.

PS - yes some people are born into money but most are not.

You wanna make it in America, be a success the choice is yours. OR die a tragedy, and be forgotten except by a few who you broke their hearts from your dumb choices in the street.

WAKE UP.

We should weep when they are living, the way they are living. We call foul for what Zimmerman did to Martin, but when we kill each other it's just another day in the neighborhood. We attend the funeral and shout Hallelujah and Glory. We lie to ourselves or we are being to by saying and believing he is in a better place, the truth is if he died in His sins he is in trouble. Many of us will go back to our day to day life of sin. The bible says to repent of your sins...which means having a change of HEART! Not wanting to live the old you but being again and living for Christ! It is up to you and only you to do what is right because someday we all will have die, what side of paradise do you want to be on. Find a bible based church that preaches the truth and not prosperity and emotional preaching. Too men people are being led astray listening to false teaching. Yeah the preacher may sound good, he may make you jump and shout, but when you leave are you feeling convicted? do you want to put away the alcohol, drugs, fornication, filthy communication, lust, adultery, homosexuality, racism, hate, whore-mongering, lying, stealing, love of money and find yourself disgusted by that way of living? Or do you think because you given up 2 hours of your time in church but back to your old ways is good enough.....remember God doesn't need us, we need Him. no matter what happens in this life, good or bad, GOD IS STILL GOD. Submit yourselves to God, Repent, and resist evil.......it is only what you do for Christ that will last....The best thing that you can do for any loved one living is to introduce them to Christ! We all will be judged according to our actions and our deeds. When when we die in Christ will are in paradise immediately, when we die in our sins never accepting Him, and living of sin we go to the other side of paradise to be judged (it is not a place of resting)...Get right with God!
