This is the kind of statement that MOST DUMB ASS Black People in Youngstown make every year..."We must come together as a community after the tragic shooting in Youngstown."...What the hell!..A bunch of Fat Black Church Pastors saying "We just all need to Pray for a better day in Youngstown"...We need leaders who are willing to KICK some Thug Ass in the city...Our city leaders are afraid and weak men...While the rest of use are held as hostages in our own homes.
