This thread hits too close to home for me. I had, past tense, an outreach program in place and stopped it last fall due to far too many disrespectful disposable trash numbskulls who impolitely interjected themselves into my program. I was into yr #26 and the bottom fell out when dummies brought guns plural into the damned church gym wanting to shoot up the place & earlier a few weeks prior, disposable trash thugs originating from seattle et al areas entered and intentionally caused injuries to 3 differing youth in one week, whose parents grew up with me. I was hurt and embarrassed visiting their sons in the hospitals on the nights of their internal injuries
. The parents entrusted me to care for their kids (HSers). smh
While in the metroplex, I never had this type of problem. I return to the bordering country rural suburbia of the home area and these dumb thug mf'ers aren't interested in employment or academic pursuit. I put my name, my carte blanche in the area, on the line w/ my corporate backing me financially, other local businesses backing, & backing by several churches on the line and it was all thrown away when I had to diall 911 for the very first and last time ever while in the middle of the outreach as a professor from LSCollege was speaking to youth regarding admissions/financial support into the community college. F'ing guns, inside the church gym, around various HS kids, w/ white clergy present observing/taking notes...
I'm done. Behind the gates of the segregated gated community I go. Locally, I've attended 4 differing funerals of early 20 yr olds since I stopped the outreach program locally. Oddly, those same 4 were attendees in my program and I spoke with them like I spoke to others, actually, moreso them because they were all early 20s and headed nowhere fast as I tried to get them employed locally. smh The program in the metroplex was taken over by a young man who was one of my first, now is a software devl/married/has 2 kids, and is doing what I asked all of them to do ", reach back and help others from your area as you ascend." The city kids are outpacing these dumbassed country suburban kids. It's a f'ing shame when the county DA, your friend since childhood, has to speak w/ you regarding AADW of youth smh.
