President Obama responds to the young boy: "Not a Goddamn thing! God bless The United States of America".

Black people can't get their act together stop killing each other and then the white liberals say we taking guns aways from everybody. Now law abiding whites & blacks who own guns have to give up their rights because of uncivilized mother fuckers who don't know how to act. NO FUCK THAT.

I seriously did not realize how bad it is in some black communities.... it was like watching a bad movie. Now I am sitting here asking myself "am I better off having seen this?"... I am from upper middle class Long Island, so this way of life is something I can only see on TV. It's not just blacks who have failed to evolve, It's the entire Human race that has yet to become Human. Dehumanization creates Dehumanization. ..that's what this is, a lack of Humanity on the part of us ALL

Why do these women keep breeding?

This is why I want to live my life to uplift the community as a community psychologist. Find ways so that our future generation, whether they're african-american, carribean-black, africans (such as myself), etc.,can unite and we can move forward. I hope this is not how you see all african american neighborhoods. I live in one of the top 2 neighborhoods in america where a good percentage of people living here are African/African-American.

@monkeystripes I am aware that not ALL Black American neighborhoods are like this.

This story broke my heart :( what a smart and strong boy. I wish he gets out of that place and have a great future some day.

You could ban all guns and it would not stop the violence.

[rainonmebi]

wow thats absolutely heartbreaking. I pray for this child because when you hear of innocents getting shot, its usually the ones who have the most promise. Hopefully he gets out of that jungle.

lil boy go to school! lol

[GhostraceKillah]

And this is why there's no more racism toward black people like it was during the civil rights and Malcolm x's Nation of Islam times.The community's morals are currupted now unlike in those times. Now we kill each other. White racist don't have to any more. And older black people think it's better because of that. I think one single simple solution to make things better is to get rid of the religion. Because the church is doing what it has done historically. Torment people and make them dumb.

I was just like him when I was his age.

[JazzyZenBrotha]

This is very sad to see. My heart goes out to all the children and adults who are terrorized by gangs in these communities. But this is why I'm leaving the USA, the (Un-United States of Assholes).

I'll be glad when I'm away from all this nonsense and thuggery.

[chevytheplayer]

SEE African Americans LOVE to get together when evil is a foot (aka stopsnitchin)

But if Bill Cosby or akat try to say something to point out the wrongs, THEY are all of a sudden bad

[DesertLaser]

I hope those kids make it out of there alive, and go on to receive higher education.
