ITS ABOUT TIME.

FINALLY COMMUNITY-LEADERS HAVE SHOWN SOME BACKBONE AND HAS RESPONDED TO A HORRIBLE SITUATION ON CLEVELAND'S EASTSIDE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MAN WHO SHOT AND KILLED A TEENAGE BOY WHO HAD PULLED A GUN ON HIM IN AN ATTEMPT TO ROB HIM.

THE MAN HAD A PERMIT FOR THE GUN AND THE SHOOTING WAS RULED IN SELF-DEFENSE...BUT FRIENDS OF THIS  YOUNG THUG RALLIED TOGETHER TO VANDALIZE THE MAN'S HOME, SENDING HE AND HIS FAMILY FLEEING FOR THIS SAFETY.

THE THUG ELEMENT IS STRONG IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, AND THESE ACTIONS LEFT MANY WONDERING IF IN FACT THESE MISGUIDED YOUNGSTERS ARE TAKING OVER THE CITY.

A COMMUNITY PROTESTED, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE...JUST LIP-SERVICE..THAT IS UNTIL THIS WEEK.

THE NAACP AND THE POLICE UNION HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO PROTECT THE MAN AND HIS FAMILY UNTIL THEY FEEL TOTALLY SAFE IN THEIR HOMES.

FINALLY SOME ACTION.

HERE'S THE DEAL, WE AS A COMMUNITY CAN NOT SIT BY AND ALLOW THE THUGS AND THE DRUG-BOYS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE STREETS OF THE INNER CITY...WE MUST SEND A MESSAGE THAT WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE...THIS STEP BY THE NAACP AND THE POLICE UNION IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
