My condolence goes out to his family, no black male deserve to die in such a manner that many of our Latinos and blacks are dying in what is suppose so be a dream land city Los Angeles.

I don't have a solution to the problem but I wish that we could stop the maddens. Families and friends are hurting we all are out in this world trying to survive. Every time I read or hear about a black solider dying at the hand of gun violence it hurts my sole.

What ever anger or hatred you have against another one of your black/Latino brother, has got to stop. Please seek peace in your life and please know that someone in this world loves you.Taking a life is not a fulfilling life dream.

At the end of the day this is the end result of what a broken home and broken down system does to the African American and Latino community. The churches cant even help this epidemic of maddens that is going on with all this black on black crime across the nation.
