At what point do we wake up and start valuing life again?

They said most of the victims have been in their 20s. Young people with dreams, families, and futures that never got the chance to fully live. Every week it’s another candlelight vigil, another grieving mother, another 💔 post. This can’t keep being normal.

I miss when our communities fought together for something bigger than ourselves. I want to see another Black Wall Street rise. I want to see movements like the Black Panther Party, Pride Inc., and the Rainbow Coalition bring people together again to protect, build, educate, and uplift our hoods. If DC ever truly came together as one, how could we be stopped?

This is what regret looks like. You heard every guilty verdict read out loud. Now life in prison is flashing through your mind. Thoughts of everything you’re about to lose got the tears running down your face. Your lawyer is trying to console you while the bailiffs stand ready to rush you out the courtroom. Your family is crying as you’re led away in handcuffs. Then you sit back in that bullpen waiting to be transported to jail, and reality finally hits you… none of it was worth it. #CrashDummy
