Something is seriously wrong in America’s black community.
Three Florida teens — one just 12 years old — have been indicted for the brutal murders of three other teenagers whose bodies were dumped across the area.
Robert Robinson, 17, Tahj Brewton, 16, and Christopher Atkins, 12, face first-degree murder charges in the deaths of:
• Layla Silvernail, 16 (softball pitcher, shot in the head)
• Michael Hodo Jr., 17 (shot in the back of the head)
• Camille Quarles, 16 (shot twice while in the trunk of a car)
Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods didn’t sugarcoat it: “Not only are the victims juveniles, but the murderers are juveniles as well.”
The suspects — all associated with gangs — were out committing “licks” (burglaries and robberies) before turning on the victims. “There is no honor among thieves,” the sheriff said. Two were murdered right there, the third left to die.
Layla was remembered by Southeastern Fastpitch as a “team player and an amazing athlete.”
This isn’t isolated. When will we have the honest conversation about the breakdown in our communities, fatherlessness, gang culture, and the cycle of violence destroying young lives?
Heartbreaking.
