newsome park has always had problems. A lot longer than 10 years for a fact. The problem is not that they need more securty the problem is the thuggs never learned right and wrong from there parents because they don't give a damn about them. Maybe we need to not allow these areas to procreate for the saftey of the comunnity.
Is there some birth control we can put in the water?

I get sick of driving my child to his magnet school (we dont live down there) and see all the mothers w/their hair weaves and fake nails and the kids in designer clothes waiting for their bus; living off my hard earned tax dollars.

First off, my thoughts are with the family of this kid. That is a tragedy and just a sad tale.

Now, about the woman with 8 kids or whatever living off the government. There needs to be a law that people cannot live off the system more than a short time to fix their problem. People are only having more babies to gain the benefits. So for starters, if a woman lives off of the system for more than a year, they should have to get their tubes tied to stop further adding to the issue.

It's sad to even have to consoder this but something has to be done to stop it.

Likewise: My condolences to the family: To ALL the families.

I fear I am getting so used to reading about these acts of violence to the point that the horror is becoming lost on me.

I hate what these thugs are doing to our neighbors, and to us.

I am not afraid of getting shot, as much as I am of losing my perspective on how despicable these acts are.

Why don't you go to your pople and tell them to stop selling guns to children. You all will do anything for the almighty dollar. Just look at Wall Street, all this is going on because of your greed. In case you didn't know it white women wear weaves and false nails. They are on welfare, do meth and crack and just love sleeping with black men. And some of them don't even know who their baby daddy is. Some White men are dead beat dads just like some black men are. Stop trying to pretend that the white race can do no harm. And if you get sick of driving your child to this school don't do it. And by the way, I am a tax payer.

Why would a poor black lady have 8 kids? I will never understand it. Close your legs lady.
I better get back to work so I can pay taxes to support your 8 kids.
See there people go assuming that that this woman does not work. Just because she is not telling you all her business does not mean she is on section 8, welfare, sitting on her ***,etc. Here people are only assuming. If you knew her you would have nothing to say.
I use to work with the woman years ago, and I can say she bust her *** to take care of her children.
So go ahead and keep assuming......

I think the bottom line here is we live where we live but it it up to us to make our community a safe place. I agree that there are drugs, thugs and slugs but the good citizens of NN are in the crossfire. Help the police with the info they need so they can find who did this. Someone definately knows. If something does not look right, call it in. Let them come out and take a look before something happens. If you need extra patrol checks, ask for it. Dont be shy or you will always be afraid of your surroundings and by then it may be too late, just like this poor 15year old found out. Take a stance in your community. I do!

DID I EVEN ONCE SAY THESE WERE BLACK??? NO NEVER. YOU DID! I am a tax payer too, and if you really are you should be upset to see that our money is going to pay for all this nonessential crap instead of put food in the babies mouths! It is a crying shame when someone wants to turn a tragedy into a race issue like you did. I'd feel the same if they were any color, why should I work my butt off so others can enjoy the finer things in life?

No shaking your head, there you go...

My comment was about people who do live off of the system and not necessarily her. I wouldn't be suprised if a woman with 8 kids would be living off of the system because that has all the markings of a welfare case. So, I said a woman with 8 kids living off the system...Now, if she isn't living off the system, all the power to her. Unfortunately, we see too many people living off of the system. That warrants an easy judgement...Make anyone getting benifits earn the money.

Did you go back and re-read what you said? You specificly said "Now about the woman with 8 kids". If you were not talking about this woman in this article, which happens to mention she has 8 kids, which woman were you talking about? Lets keep it real here. You were assuming "this" woman lives off the government.
Again if you were not talking about "this" woman, why not say a woman with 7,6,5,etc.
Again, do you know if she is single,married, widowed,etc.....
I guess the whole point I am trying to make is that people tend to stereotype people because their living environmnet. I do not live in Newport News, but I do know that area and can say that you and I both know about its demographics.

Eight kids with eight babydaddys paying child support, welfare, wic checks, tax refunds, section 8 housing = about 36,000 a year in subsidies. More than I make and I go to work everyday. See the picture here?
What does this lady and her babies have to do with the 15-year-old getting killed? You are so STUPID. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't the one that shot him. You have a warped mind.

For 10 years I patrolled the streets of Newport News exclusively in the southeast community and saw no change. The good folks remained hidden within the walls of their home, the bad guys roamed the streets and preyed on anyone that was unlucky to cross or venture in their path. When they can't find an innocent citizen to terrorize or kill they turn on themselves. What bothered and frustrated me the most about my years in Newport News was that the bad guys were few, the good guys were many. I believe there is strength in numbers and until the citizens of that community really unite the bad guys will always win. I remember the saying, snitches get stitches. Bull crap!!!!!!. A community is not dangerous because it has bad guys, a community is dangerous because the people who live there won't do anything about it. You really only have two options, keep putting these thugs in jail or move.

Who raised these gunslingers? These are the children of the so-called parents living in the hood! What is to blame? SOCIAL PROGRAMS that allow people to loaf and sponge off others who work.

Has it ever crossed your feeble minds that these people not only are being held captive in their own homes but in addition, are terrified of these gunslingers? They don't speak out because they know that if they get labled as a snitch that they would put their whole families at risk. Your always pointing and blaming someone else instead of looking at yourselves and taking some of the blame. Never mind that the useless gunlaws aren't enforced untill after they catch them. They make no effort to enforce or strengthen the laws they have in effect, just like the immigration laws and any other law they have. How many more children are going to die before you hard headed people get it in your heads that the gun laws are only to protect gun owners and not the innocents that are being murdered or the store owners being robbed by the thousands every year in this corrupt nation. It is so easy for you people to put blame on others while you hide behind your guns. Shameless nation that God is going to bring to it's knees. All the blood of the innocents will be redeemed and that's a fact. This generation will be held accountable and I pray that it is today! Open your eyes America repent because the Kingdom of God is near!
