Who is really to blame?
A chapter in the book Snippets
Modern Day Plight
by Brett Matthew West
He had always been a rebellious boy. Full of vim and vinegar. But, tonight he was going to show them all.
With his hoodie pulled up over his head, in what he considered his ultra-cool style, he would have his revenge.
He followed the news. Or what he heard on the streets.
At the local theater the latest popular Horror flick was debuting and the place would be packed. He would be ready.
Allowing the movie to begin playing, he pulled the fire alarm sending moviegoers scattering for the exit in a mad dash.
He was prepared, screaming out "Black Lives Matter!" with every round he fired from the weapon he held in his hand.
The morning's headlines told the story of another young Black male murdered by White Police Officers.
The body count - 7.
Welcome to the Modern world.
Where will it all end?

"Black Lives Matter" is a current rampantly spreading reaction to several young Black males who have recently been killed by White Police Officers.
The Black Community seems to want to place all the blame on the White Police Officers.
However, that is not necessarily always the case.
Most of these incidents have been instigated by the young Black male so responsibility for these events must be equally shared by both races.
You may have a different opinion than I do of this Modern Day plight, and that is okay.
To me, it is all senseless and needs to stop.
