It's a shame , It's a damn shame . 16-Year-Old Who Was Whooped By His Uncle For Acting Like He Was In A Gang Has Been Shot dead

[JOHN DOE]

dont even know them theories of robbery are true though

i thought this then i remembered they said he had received a call before he went out and got shot - could be linked

[MARVELL]

oh so his uncle just whooped him and then didnt do much to support him afterwards?

useless.

and of course his posting of the video drew more attention to him, which would even include roadmen that the boy couldve mouthed off to

Nah his uncle wasn't a d*ckhead. He did the right thing, but uploading it to Youtube wasn't the right thing to do. The threat would have been enough.

Either the kid felt he had to solidify his rep and prove a point to people, and he slipped; or he was too deep in the game already and guys wanted to gain a stripe off him because he had been exposed virally as not serious.

Very sad, though. R.I.P.

The Bingo!

But you never know if it would have happened or not anyway, but tragic indeed.

[Benicio del Toney]

I applaud what the uncle did but it was probably way too late for the boy though streets had already got him.

And apparently killed by his 'friends'? wow that is cold. Invite man out to talk on his porch and just kill him. My man was probably skinning teeth with them a week or two before reminds me of that quote from goodfellas

If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you. It doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies. So your murderers come with smiles. They come as your friends, the people who have cared for you all of your life, and they always seem to come at a time when you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.

Can just imagine when they pulled the guns on him. Knowing you're going to die then and there. 16 and your life is over at the hands of your so called 'homies'

Damm

That's why you watch your company.

Niggas out there ain't too smart and can't b reasoned with, knowing you aren't in a game of reasoning means you are in a game of chance.

Fuck chance, get out.

True but so many black people don't know how to support their children long term.

I don't even know why this is, maybe down to education?

But this is the case in a lot of kids getting into gangs and being snuffed out, the neglect from families.

[MARLO STANSFIELD]

Some of you may remember this video where this boy got beat by his uncle for talking smack about gang banging etc

Well fast forward and now look

A video that went viral earlier this year featuring an uncle spanking his teenage nephew for engaging in gang activity didn't seem to hit the mark. The 16-year-old was found shot to death Dec. 7 in his native New Orleans.

The video, which sparked several parodies online, showed Michael Taylor's uncle telling him to disavow gangs while he whips him with a belt. He then tells the teenager to post the video on Facebook, which in turn caused it to go viral.

Taylor's mother, Kimberly Ward, said that she kept tabs on her son and told him not to go out after 8 p.m. On that fateful night, she said her son received a text from a friend to come outside, and that's the last time she saw him alive.

"She said she called him back inside a few minutes later to find out what was going on, and he told her he was just talking and went back outside. A few minutes later, her daughter received a text message saying that Taylor had been shot, and then another saying he was dead," Ward told the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Authorities have yet to find a suspect in the killing and have yet to discover a motive.

Sad times,

I personally believe in smacking a child if they step out of line but in this case the yute was too old and whats more the fact that UNCLE was doing this shows that the parents likely was not doing their job.

RIP Taylor.

life in the richest country on the planet<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Since the beginning of civilisation, this has been the case.

[Im Broke]

Evidence of this?

[Fighting Weight]

Evidence of this?

Life in the ancient Egypitian, Roman, British empire, modern United states, the Soviet Union, Modern-day China.. have always been a contrast of wealth and quality of life between the top and the bottom, the success of the state has always been built off of the backs of the people.

I imagine the gaps between the poor and rich are even worse in poorer countries though, i'd rather be poor in America than poor in Bangladesh or India.

[MARLO STANSFIELD]

that was a separate thread and someone joined it, didnt see this thread before hand

what is strange is a see people saying the uncle is the blame and even hip hop

erm I have an idea of who to blame

THE PARENTS PERHAPS?

why is this child being disciplined by extended family? I submit to you that this uncle was doing this to make up for what the boys parents were not doing in the first place.

[JOHN DOE]

when you put things into perspective hiphop can be blamed for a lot of things

it must be said

[MARLO STANSFIELD]

I don't doubt that John Doe, but that way of reasoning only goes so far because the problem is even PARENTS who do not do the job of raising their kids properly start to blame hip hop thats when I get pissed off then you get the single mother types who got 3 baby daddies (2 of whom are yardie type shottas) who wanna start talking about government conspiracies as a form of reasoning to explain why their sons are in and out of jail.

Its just delusional man and it just gets ridiculous.

We even got parents blaming VIDEO GAMES (now surely that must piss of man on this forum as most of us are gamers.)

[Seydou]

Lol. John Doe wrote a line and the guy comes back with 6 more.

PMSL at the last two pages.
