Sadly Tyree Parks Couldn't Make It To 19!

Tyree Parks was a 18 year-old high school senior who had just received an acceptance letter to Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania. His mother wanted so badly for September to come so that her son could escape the dangerous streets of South Philadelphia. Sadly, Friday night Tyree was shot and killed as he was walking home from a basketball game that he had just finished coaching. Apparently Parks had gotten into an altercation earlier in the day, and was so fearful that he was carrying a semiautomatic handgun at the time of his death. The Philadelphia Daily News provides additional details on this very sad story.

Sad.
Black folks are so filled with hate.
It's a southern thing. That hate. It comes down through the generations.
