Man....SMH!

Wow....I just saw on the news that a 16 year old boy got shot this morning in the estate (Stockwell Gardens) that I grew up on...from what I can see on the news, where the boy was killed is just outside of where by my boy A's bench is.....I've mentioned A briefly before-he died in Aug 2004 of a brain tumour, and his family had a bench in his memory in the estate that we grew up on. It's in a park, which is locked every evening-and the footage on the TV looks like it's just outside of that!

Watching the news seeing the estate, it just brought back memories of back in the day-those were the days. I do miss those days, but I'm SO glad my mum moved us out of that area. smh...it's mad!

I was gonna go down to lay flowers by A's bench on Sunday....man...it's gonna be crazy round that way now!!

I don't even know what to say! I'm just shocked....to be honest, I'm not sure why....there's been like 10 kids killed since January in speculated gang-related ish....but it's not any less heartbreaking for the victims family though is it? I dunno man.....I just dunno....

That's sad. I am not sure where all this crazy violence is coming from.

Kids these days have it bad. There's also a story about a teenager being killed or killing someone. I don't know what's up with some of these kids mind-set.
