Martel Anderson, 16 year old student of Orr Academy, was shoot February 3 at 8:40 in the morning walking to school. He was shot in the face when two 2 men approached him with guns. Martel was known to be a very quiet kid and wasn't known to be a gang member. The million dollar question is why? Their is more to the story than what they are giving us because the pieces aren't right. Orr isn't the best school to attended and well know for fights , gang related activities and all "ghetto" black kids. Their had to be something he did to someone to have his life on the line but that's besides the point. Why is it that we feel it is ok to kill each other but let a white person dare try it, we start a riot. We can't want to make change in the black community if we continue to kill each other. People fail to realize that you shouldn't do to others what you wouldn't want done to you or your family. It's sad that guns are the first answer to solving problems in the black community. This boy may have meant nothing to you but to someone else he means the world and now their world has came to an end.
Well written and thoughtful.
