The shrines are keeping us sane and yet we have not fully embraced all the work we must do as individuals to prevent this. We have the power that no elected official has- livin it. Yes we are living by the streets dying in the streets and so we must heal our streets and lift up a value of LIFE and LOVE! Please BE the LOVE we need!jumokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658817039842217134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229385266860507408.post-82815211481754536792007-10-15T10:18:00.000-07:002007-10-15T10:18:00.000-07:002006 for me was the year when many of my friends w...2006 for me was the year when many of my friends were killed. I was at many shrines and the police did disrespect us by removing the candles and trying to kick us out of our own blocks. 2007 is the year we all get together to remembr our fallen soldiers, wether a mayor, president or a damn king demand no tolerance for shrines, we'll do dat we've been doing for years, say "F" you and drink and smoke and CRY our asses off for another part of our hearts falling off...

For people to see the nearby homes and business where lives were needlessly extinguished would place things in the proper perspective. I recognized some of areas where a wide angle shot was posted.Da Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650266575562746588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229385266860507408.post-21198746586885452552007-08-15T09:46:00.000-07:002007-08-15T09:46:00.000-07:00You are providing a valuable service to the commun...You are providing a valuable service to the community.
