Not the New York that I remember from my
youth, this is the Ohio that I remember!
This is your
country?
The country I wasted
six (6) years of my life protecting?
This however, is not
the New York that I remember from my youth!
At least a baker’s
dozen of my elders (Chiefs and Clan Mother Teachers), came from my neighboring
state.
This is your
president’s country the one that is full of hate!

Man sucker-punched
in street; people walking by go through his pockets
New York City police
say a man was lying unconscious in the street after being punched when other
people came by and stole from him.
Surveillance video
aired by WCBS
shows the victim being approached by two men in a Bronx intersection on June
18.
One of the men hit
him, knocking him down.
After the two men
left, several others started going through the victim’s pockets, stealing his
phone and other items.
Police say the man
who threw the punch then returned and took pictures of the motionless victim.
The punching victim
was taken to a hospital in critical condition with a fractured skull.
Police called on
Ohio boy mowing grass; now his business is booming
Jun 29, 2018
CLEVELAND
An Ohio boy is
running his own business this summer cutting lawns and cleaning up yards.
Reginald Fields, 12,
is the owner of Mr. Reggie's Lawn Cutting Service. With several helping hands
from his cousins, brothers and sisters, they are up with the sun every day
working the neighborhood.
That's what they
were doing when someone called police on them.
"They said I
was cutting their grass. I didn't know it," Reggie told News 5 Cleveland.
His customer,
Lucille Holt, said she was confused when she saw police, but quickly learned
the neighbors called to complain that the group cut a section of their property
(about a foot where the two properties join together) and were in their yard.
"They said the
kids cut their grass," Holt explained.
Reggie Fields said
the police said nothing to him and the other kids. He finished the job and felt
a little discouraged.
"I was like,
that's a shame. I didn't know," Reggie said.
But that didn't last
long.
Lucille Holt created
a Face book post about what happened and ended up with thousands of views and
hundreds of shares.
"I guess I have
a line where part of it is now my yard. They called the police to tell the
police that the kids were cutting their grass," Holt said in the video.
Now, Mr. Reggie is
getting a lot of support for his new business from people who see the video and
want to make sure he's never discouraged again.
"People are in
boxing me like, 'how can I get in touch with these children? Where are they at?
I got property I want these kids to cut,'" Holt said.
Reggie, his siblings
and his cousins are getting calls from all over the city now.
Reggie said he's
trying to save the money he earns to buy new equipment and grow his business.
"Just give me a
call. I will be there. On time!" he said.
As for the neighbors
who called police, they called News 5 to say they saw the Face book video, but
didn't want to go on camera.
