Back in 2006 Little Haiti (community in Miami, FL -- where I am from) was on fire. People were dieing left and right. It seemed like every other day someone or a group of people were dieing to gang related activity.
Today, Lil Haiti finds some solace. Four gang members were charged in a triple slaying that occurred in June 2006. I didn't know if this day would ever come. People from the hood know the Baltimore coined phrase: Stop Snitchin! We live by that. Although, I don't agree with it, I understand that fear silences you. A lot of communities feel the police isn't there to protect them because historically the police have been theirterrorists. Every hood you go to it's the same feeling towards the police -- they don't trust them.
But back to the subject at hand. It's so sad when you watch the news or the hit show 48 Hours and see the faces of the victims and the alleged perpetrators of the crime and you recognize them because these are people you grew up with.
Many believe that this crime was executed because a month earlier one of the shooter's son was fatally shot execution style. The boy was 18-months old.
Also Prosecutors believe that these men were also involved in a January 2007, triple slaying in broad daylight in a SUV. In the SUV was a young man, his girlfriend, and his mom. And we all know that the mom and girlfriend had nothing to do with anything.
