What If They Take You Serious


Sticking out your chest and making empty threats just isn't worth it these days. Especially if you aren't prepared to back it up with action. Some seem to think Demarrius Stevenson not having a weapon bids well in his favor from a civil standpoint. In this case being unarmed wasn't very smart. You could end up paying with your life. All the meetings and settlements in the world won't bring Demarrius Stevenson back.I'm sure he thought it was just another day on the corner of Brown and Watkins. The victim and the shooter were acquaintances. Testimony was given stating that the victim went in the trunk of his car. He probably wasn't going to do anything, but we only need to look as far back as a couple of weeks. A store owner was killed and his family barely escaped. I'm sure this didn't even cross his mind. What if they take you serious?
