TOO LITTLE TOO LATE?

[AllanY2525]

WELL SAID, Janko !


It is NEVER, NEVER too late to try and stop all of this senseless killing
in Youngstown.  Every possible effort must be made to get folks to
re-evaluate the value of human life, and to find ways to resolve their
disputes without gunfire and murder.

I think that a Chevy Center event featuring Bill Cosby (who lost
his son, Ennis to a murderer) would draw a LOT of people to
this kind of event.

Mayor Williams is on the right track - let's all hope he pulls it off.
If such an event reaches even a FEW people in Youngstown, then
it was all worthwhile.

Young black kids in Youngstown [or, for that matter, ALL of the
latest generation of the city's youths ] need to see that ,in this day
and age [ even WITH the racism problems that still pervade ]
they CAN be successful in life without resorting to criminal
behaviours.

Having successful role models at such an event might just
"reach" these youngsters and get the message through to
them.......

It's not too little.

It's not too late.

It's time we try new things that we think might chip away at the situation, even if they are not proven yet in this community.

What is the option, to sit back and let the world roll over us?

Less talk radio, let's leave our houses.
Less message boards, let's meet each other.
Less reading history, and let's make history.

For those of us who have the health to leave our homes, and the ability to see a life of crime is not the only answer, I say, join this mayor on his quest. I'd rather be known as one who tried to destroy the gangs than one that watched the gangs destroy others.

Is this too little too late?
