I was told yesterday that one of my previous football players was accidentally shot and killed while looking at a friend’s gun. He was 26 years old and the father of two little girls.
This is the second previous player to lose his life while handling a friend’s gun. Both of the guns were legally owned and registered with the Detroit Police Department.
In every large inner city, two kinds of people carry guns. There are those who intend to cause harm and those attempting to protect themselves and loved ones from harm.
Wherever there is poverty, there is violence. It is a vicious circle. Due to the lack of a decent education and the inability to compete for a well paying job, some try to get ahead financially through illegal means.
Will you lift someone up?
If not today, when?
