"Whooo.... that woke me up.... I mean... I'm woke... I haven't been that nervous in a minute!"
"Well I'm going home."
"Come on—"
"I'm going home."
I mean I've been in shooting situations before, but not like that. I was the black, white, and blue on a target.... I could've been hit. The problem isn't that I would have died.... well that is too, but the fact I would've died by someone else's hands. I can't be murdered. It's a stereotype for young black males to be murdered. I don't want to be a stereotype. There are kids at the ages of six dying with cancer and then there's dead teens that chose to get into gang violence. It makes me sick. Being in a gang is like scheduling your death.
