This is so disgusting to watch. They are 12 year-old boys, who “matched the description” and had to experience this horror. A little boy crying scared to death and the other one telling him to stop , because he wants to stay alive is what makes me cry. Just try to understand this- they know the way cops treat black boys and trying to calm themselves down TO SURVIVE THIS. How horrifying is that?
‘Casually’ pointing a gun at children.
Say you’re part of a family. A big family. A chaotic, ramshackle family that, nonetheless has its own rules and sense of orderliness that everyone, more or less follows. This is a fatherless family, for the most part, not really needing one, but mum is lonely.
Sadly, she marries a man who moves in and begins making so many drastic changes and behaving in a manner that is so foreign and so contemptible, so abusive, that the kids rebel and demand mum kicks him out. His presence is too destructive.
Now imagine your mum, abused and frightened, doing nothing.
Individually you are small and powerless. But you love your mum and your home and you want things, even though they were a little messy, to be a little more like they were before (if not better). What do you do?
The man your father married has bully friends all around him, some have even moved into the neighbourhood. Everyone feels intimidated. There’s talk of other neighbourhoods being threatened.
