A Florida man threatened to shoot a 9-year-old girl for selling candy at his doorstep. But in the South, Black children have long faced danger simply for being visible.
An example of why we need the village to kick in to protect our children, especially if Mom is overwhelmed. It’s not business as usual out there (if it ever was). Back in the day a neighbor would call Mom and ask if she knew her baby was going door to door. We can’t change their minds about us (that’s their job), but we in the community can protect our children.
Tears of rage and sorrow. Memories of seeing water fountains labeled “whites only” and “colored only” as a child and asking “Why?”. Knocking on doors selling Burpee seeds gotten through a comic book ad.
These and more memories came crashing through my mind in reading your report.
The poison continues to ooze, pool, and seep. Its toxic gases destroying the sweet air and comforting warmth of human decency.
Thank you for your reporting. We need to know so we can act.

I see a brave little girl. May she be shielded from withering hate and find a safer community to thrive in.

He’s probobly a “Christian” right?????
Pope Francis is gone , buckle up in this time of hatred.
Listening to rhetoric from some politicians of the south and the hatred license they provide to their constituents, is awful.
What a man.
What a pig
