peace, peace, peace to your city and your hearts.
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
~Mohandas Gandhi
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
I hold you in my heart from a Richmond very far away.

Thank you for posting this video. It was very educational and an enlightment. Now I can see what is what and I am glad that you all started Tent City. Maybe hopefully something can be done to curb the violence that has stricken the City of Richmond again

i partly agree with you. But the government should be there to take care of its citizens. If they would really care for the community they would never let the FED exist. Or make people take a vaccin for swine flu. A vaccin wich is full of shit, like mercury.

People are very ignorant, and only try to blame government for their own issues. How is everything Reagan's fault? hope you know that while Reagan was in control, Congress was majority Democrat, when his argued policies took effect. You losers are the ones to blame! You allow yourself to become infatuated with street life, trying to find an easy out. Work hard, go to school, and stop blaming someone else for your ill decisions. Stop being ignorant,and get an education.
