South Shore basketball player Shaquille Jones shot to death

Shaquille Jones was a talented and popular basketball player at South Shore High School in Brooklyn, New York.
He was shot in the head and died at the scene Friday as he and two of his friends were going home after school. His two buddies were also shot, but are expected to recover.
The incident happened after a minor skirmish near a bus stop earlier when Jones and his two friends had some words with two other men. As the trio including Jones was walking behind a drug store, one of the men that they had confronted earlier ambushed them and took off.
Another tragedy involving complete lack of respect for human life, and the ongoing escalation of “disrespect” crimes. Apologies for the graphic image, but maybe our society needs to see the consequences of our actions in today’s world.
Shaquille Jones was just 17 years old.

It all happens because one dumbass rolls his eyes at another dumbass for some stupid reason.
Then the guy that was outnumbered and “dissed” has to save his “rep” by popping a cap in the guy that “dissed” him
Nice cycle, black america, way to lift your people up. You act like fucking animals, and you deserve to be treated like animals. You treat each other like animals that need to be slaughtered.
White america is fine with us killing each other by the way, just so ya know.
As a middle aged black man it makes me ill every time I see a story like this, and I see one EVERY day.
I didn’t know this boy, but I have known hundreds like him.
If not him, the killer probably has no father in his life and a mom that doesn’t know what the hell he is doing day or night.
Now we have one dead black man and another soon to be incarcerated black man. And the wheels keep turning with black on black violence.
Best advice i can give…..
If you father a child RAISE it!!!
Don’t leave your offspring to suffer in that world of violence. Be a MAN
