It’s really unfortunate that our young men are throwing their lives away and our mature men are demonstrating poor examples of what masculinity really is
I’m exhausted seeing aging adults, still trying to be in the game, living their last years going older and dying in prison.
The question is where are these guns coming from?
Every since the politicians stop letting parents discipline there own children, they became very hard headed and start relating to the street for the wrong comfort and love that needs to come from home. We as parents needs to stand our soft asses up and come together against the law makers fta better solution cause we are really really loosing our children to these dangerous communities that is filled with drugs and guns, I mean something has to change, funeral homes and jails is not the answer.
