Bad Time

I have been hesitant to make my feelings about the Chavis Carter shooting  known. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it's awfully hard. Someone posted the wrong photo to begin with. That's probably why some lawyer hasn't taken the case. I mentioned this same thing  about  Trayvon Martin. What would happen if he looked like Lil Wayne instead of Drake..This is exactly what I was talking about. Looks like justice has eyes.

Once you get past the emotion of a young black man losing his life. Honestly,you could go either way. I have too many questions that haven't been answered yet. I know how these things can play out. The only thing we know for sure is Chavis  is dead. I think he shot himself alright, but it wasn't suicide. I think he shot himself by mistake. While he was trying to get rid of the gun.What we have here is a case of police apathy and not abuse. Those officers are just glad he shot himself and not them.

I would love to know how much weed was found and what kind of gun was he killed with. It would give me some idea what charges he was facing and how much time was at stake. Was he looking at doing time or just paying a fine? A stint at "Cummins State Prison" compared to a night in lockup in downtown Jonesboro requires desperate measures. Why was he in Jonesboro Ark. anyway? I know this is a free country and you can go anywhere you want. But people usually have a reason for being where they are. Jonesboro is no Atlanta or L.A. If you live in Southaven why would you bypass Memphis to hang out over there? They don't even have a mall.

Sometimes you have a girlfriend living somewhere else. But that's not usually the case. Whether you know it or not. City dwellers and dealers with connections are leaving the city going to these smaller towns selling drugs. I don't know if  he's in a gang, but he has that hairstyle. The only other young men I saw with their hair like that in Memphis, were convicted cop killers. If there was a female. Why was he in the car with these two guys?  Does he have family or a job over there? Who were the guys he was with, and where are they now? Where was his car?  Because he was a passenger in the car that was initially stopped by police. According to reports there were also witnesses.

Here is the hitch. Blacks set themselves back forty years with what happened in West Memphis.  Dr. Issac Richmond isn't going to be able to get the exposure this thing needs to make it national. He had a march that drew less than fifty people. I couldn't hardly find stories about this on the Internet. I guess covering two unexplained cases at once, is too much. Now that Al and Jesse are working together. This happened at a bad time.
