Young Murderers...

It's not odd to say someone is a killer who's not an adult yet, and the fact kids are killing other kids is crazy. Anyone killing a kid is crazy in general but people are on some crazy shit sometimes.Like the other night, when I was watching this E! network  special called "Too Young Too Kill:15 Shocking Crimes." And I think people should check it out if they're interested in things like that.

It's basically about child killers, meaning someone who's committed a murder who's under the age of 18. It's sad watching this show hearing some of these stories about the things that's people do but it's even worse knowing that things like this regularly go on depending on where you live.


Many other countries outside of the United States are well aware of children who are murderers because of the type of government that is set up and the lack of law going on inside of the country. Movies like City of God prove this point and even the opening scenes in a movie like Shottas, set in Kingston, Jamaica, shows people how different the world is outside of their comfort zone.

It seems like this whole issue of children being able to carry out a murder has come to the light in the past decade or so with school shootings such as Columbine or Virginia Tech, but the truth is, it's been going on a lot longer then that, those shootings were just when it hit Middle America or the mainstream as people call it.

I live in New York though and, more accurately Brooklyn, and I grew up here so I understand what it was like in the 80's before living in Brooklyn, in almost every area of the borough was a popular thing to do. Since I was a kid, my parents and older cousins always had to let me know about how harsh the outside world really was and luckily, it helped me avoid a lot of bs I could have went through.

Not everyone was so lucky though and I've known quite a few people who aren't around anymore because of someone else having a problem with them. And all of these people, both the victim and the suspect were only teenagers.

Children who are murderers is a sick thought, and not just something in a movie anymore for most people, it's real life. If you don't believe me, check out how people are warned about going to Mexico now for any reason when Cancun used to be the hot spring break party destination. Now it's a destination for a drug war, and some of the soldiers on the front line are just kids, but hard times push people to hard choices, or maybe their pushed into these scenarios by others.

Either way, I hope someone can push them back towards to good side of life because a reality like this is only going to make things worse, and no one, well, most people don't want that.

Our Politicians...

    This Carl Paladino guy is a clown. If you don't know who that is, he's running for governor New York. I have my own issues with people who hold political positions in New York, especially the governor position but this guy is just spewing the absolute wrong message for someone who's supposed to speak for a majority of people. If you don't know what I mean he basically said we can't let the perverts and pornographers target our children and destroy their lives. Hold up....perverts and pornographers are seeking to destroy our children's lives? How so....exactly, and if this is true what do you say of the MTA officials who wanted to take away student passes for the buses and trains? What about the city officials who close down countless playgrounds and centers for children but then complain about the rise in violence and kids getting into trouble? I suppose none of that has any connection....and as for the student passes.....,i guess kids don't need to go to school every single day their thinking,just 3 or so days should do, or their parents can adjust their schedules and take them to school as well as pick them up, cause yeah, we all control our own hours at work since were all bosses at our respective jobs....(insert sarcasm here). You would think that comment by Mr Paladino was enough, I mean the clip is only a minute long, what else could he have slipped into the speech. Oh yeah....the comment about not marching in the gay pride parade and the fact his opponent did and the other comment about not wanting kids to be brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is a valid or successful option in life.....Damn,all that in a minute huh,should have stopped after 15 seconds. The guy is entitled to his opinion but when he spews such widespread comments about his position on being gay and not wanting kids to have to grow up like that, you would think it was a choice people make weather to be gay or not. I'm no expert but it's hard for me to believe someone would openly choose to accept all the negativity that comes from society when homosexuality comes up and that people just are who they are. And in the wake of all of these hate crimes being committed in new York against the gay community, you would think he would choose his words more carefully but no,....and then he even had the nerve to defend his comments and expand on them the next day when asked about them again. This is what passes for a political figure for the most part these days,someone who says very dangerous things that could have some violent effects against society in the long run...what's next....i don't want our kids to have to grow up being black, or asian or hispanic? Never know what he would say if he had the chance to really speak,the video was only 60 seconds,not sure i even want to hear more,check it out for yourself...
