Man stabbed on Providence street

Amanda don’t you ever lump me in with the Italians again….ever hear of the Moors…just ask any Italian. They invaded Sicily a long time ago. Look them up and do a little research you may be closer to the people in your neighborhood than you think.

I don’t understand??? Why should your son NOT be charged for stabbing someone?? He committed a punishable crime and he should know better than to carry weapons if his sister was a victim. Two wrongs won’t make it right and it was not okay for your son to stab someone, neither was it okay for someone to hold a gun to his head. That person is just as wrong. We all complain about the violence and as long as ones mentality is to get back at a person with as much violence or more will never make it go away. you can’t fight violence with violence and expect it stop. Its a never ending very sad road that no one comes back from. Sorry but your son gets no sympathy from me not matter what the circumstances are he still stabbed someone. I am sure there is more to the story than you have told. I just don’t believe someone came up to him and held a gun to his head for no reason. Don’t get me wrong I am not stating that the person who had the gun was right but we need to know the WHOLE truth. Its a sad world we live in today. Now how long will it be before someone from the family of the stabbing victim reacts with more violence because of this. people need to smarten up and stop these vicious circles. I do however feel terrible for you. To have lost a child is horrible and I am very sorry for your loss.

Well when the last time you heard of a stabbing at a corner in the suburbs??? There are to many people who live in the city that just don’t care ( there are in suburbs to but alot less. Minorities are in all towns & all states its how you are raised and the community you grew up in. I say this because at one time too many people were afraid to leave there homes because of the violence on their streets, and so it was just left alone. If you don’t bother them they won’t bother you was the old attitude. Now more and more are turning there neighborhoods around they are not afraid to call the cops or tell someone to leave. As the old saying goes “it takes a village to raise a child” it is also the way to turn around your community. If you see a child of a friend doing something wrong and you intervene it is for the best for that child. I know that if my son was doing wrong I would want to know about and and so it is the same with the rest of our friends and community. If you want things to change it needs to start in your own home and your own community, whether you are black white latino irish Italian ect…. Its the ignorance of these kids that think violence is the way to be. More children growing in the city are left to grow and learn on there own out in the streets of violence but with the help of others we can all try to change the way children view violence and the community they come from. Children and people in general reflect the community they live in. Stand up take charge and if you rent and you have a garbage yard, Clean it! If you own and have a garbage yard clean it. If the empty lot next to you is trashed and overgrown take some time and clean it. It will also help to keep riff raff away. We need to stop being such a lazy country and make our surroundings nicer it attracts nicer crowds and communities. If someone spoils it clean it again eventually they will move on to somewhere else. One day at a time we can change the way the cities are viewed and displace the violence that survives in cities. That is why at the beginning I said there is a lot less violence in the suburbs. The surroundings make it that way. A thug doesn’t like bright clean atmospheres. They are dark dreary creatures and that is what they thrive on. Once you destroy there habitat they move on To other places. IT TAKES A VILLAGE!!!

hey idiot, that was my cousin, and the kid who stabbed him, was a white boy.

OMG, Freak1, u r an idiot!!  Didn’t you read that I said it’s not ENTIRELY the fault of the minorities living there?  Sure we should do more to keep our neighborhoods clean.  I’ve seen some bad neighborhoods in the suburbs too!!  There’s fault to go around on ALL sides!!
