Ok so I'm from Newark, NJ and in the last five days there has been at least 10 random shootings leaving a few dead, a few wounded, and even more scared to death although crime is down by 40% since last year this time. It all started Friday, Oct. 24, my pay day. As I went out to pay bills and go food shopping, I was met with the rumors -fact and fiction on what had happened withing my last hour of work. At that very moment, I made a vow to stay in the house until Sunday when it was time for me to go to church. My good friend Zakia had been calling me off the hook but I was busy so I didn't answer. When I finally called her back, she told me of the Hudson family's tragedy.
Oh wow, Jennifer Hudson's mom and brother were shot to death in Chicago. I am still in shock even more so then the shootings in my hometown because I am used to the violence there. But how in the world, on God's green Earth did Jennifer Hudson lose her mom and brother in a shooting? She is famous, she has money, she's not from the hood anymore, she was supposed to be safe and saved from this.
Ok so I'm sure we all know the rest of the details- especially about her 7 year old nephew! How did this happen? Was this supposed to happen? I'm sad for Jennifer Hudson and her family. If I had lost my mom, one of my 3 brothers and one of my 7 nephews in the same type of tragedy then I would have just as good as dead myself. How do you feel about this? I've cried for them and now I pray for them. But what comes next?
