If this kid did truly do this in self defense, it really strikes to a complete lack of trust in the police for him and his father not to then report the shooting. The fact that he was first in his high school class and a near college graduate confirms the pervasiveness of a culture of violence and social isolationism in many of the city’s neighborhoods when it comes to dispute resolution. Most right minded people point to education as a means to address the root causes of violence. But, considering the perpetrator’s background here, this killing suggests a different set of policies.
Man dawg thats was my nigga man.Lawan rest in peace baby.We miss u
Was that last sentence in English?
I know that it is hard, but try to refrain from being annonymously snarky. If you’ve got something to say like that, put your name on it.
One thing that was not reported by the police was that this young man did in fact turn himmself in after the crime.
Al-Qadaffi innocent in Dec. shooting
im guessing its ok to say its ok about this situation, just because the murderer was enrolled in school, and had the opportunity be have a father in his life( well now no matter what for ever in life OMARI ALQADAFFI is a killer, he took away a son, a brother, a friend, a nephew a cousin and a father!, He was a child of God. He loved and cherished his son. Something that his son will never get to understand because he was only 1. If it was a case in self-defense then why is there a track record of this so called innocent-student that dont stop?, Its easy to accuse someone and not never get the truth because he took his life away and as they say there are 2 sides to a story but theres only the killer left here to tell it in this case! SAD SENSELESS CRIME…. tears,TEARS…and more tears
