Ain't everyone tired of this? Do anybody besides me realize that we also have boys and girls that have to grow and learn from us. What ever happen to throwing dem hands up? Why to a gun suppose to solve anything? It hasn't and it never will. Why do the good die young? I am so scared for my son generation. It worries me to death that the world has become so violent. This gang mess is really getting on my nerves too. We can't have fun anymore, because by the end of the day someone is hurt or gone. Now this poor man daughter and stepson will be without a father figure in their precious lives. This needs to stop, because we are only hurting ourselves. No its not a race thing. Its a people thing and we are suppose to be as one. We are suppose to help each other not hurt them or killed them. We are do ignore all negative vibes and make postive ones. We are here for our children.But our children will soon have no one to look up to.

For the people that did not know Damarkos (aka Poo)he was a good kind sweet hearted person, that didn't like violence, so it would be nice to only say what you know good about him, or if you don't know him at all, say nothing

Be considerate and have remorse for his family
