BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
Tragic day in the world of hip-hop.Chicago rapper King Von was killed in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday.
Two Atlanta police officers, one of whom was off-duty and working at the hookah bar, confronted the shooters and more gunfire followed, police said.
Atlanta police said they do not believe King Von, whose real name is Dayvon Bennett, was killed by police, but was shot in the initial gunfire between the two groups.
"At this time, our investigators believe Mr. Bennett was shot during the initial shootout between the two groups of males, prior to police responding and attempting to stop the shooting," police said in a statement. He was taken to a hospital by private vehicle and was not among the victims found at the scene, police said.
The shooting erupted around 3:20 a.m. outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge, when two groups started to argue, according to officials. "The argument quickly escalated to gunfire," police said in a statement.
Six people in all were shot, including one who was said to be in "extremely critical condition." Three others were being treated at area hospitals and described as stable.
Two suspects who were detained are expected to be charged, police said. Authorities had previously said that three people had been killed, but that was later revised.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said that officers fired shots at two locations. The agency said that the six people who were shot were men. The officers were not injured. The GBI is conducting an independent investigation into the police shooting.
Atlanta police said that part of the investigation will be to determine which of the victims were shot by what they described as the suspects, and whether anyone was shot by the officers.
Gun violence is still an issue in America?
"The 26-year-old artist left us just as the world was beginning to grasp the depths of his talents," the representatives said.
NBA star LeBron James tweeted condolences on Friday, noting the impact King Von's music had on him and his sons.
Chance The Rapper, who is also from Chicago, tweeted his condolences to King Von's family, and added "I can’t believe it."
Another young life taken away by senseless gun violence in the country.
Usually, I would offer a long version of the “What Happened To” series here on Journal de la Reyna but the recent interface has all but eliminated the way I do these tragic stories of gun violence towards people of color.
Let’s get this straight, I am very frustrated with the way Google rolled out the Blogger interface.
It’s been a tragic sign of the times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Google employees are hearing the frustration (but ain't doing a damn thing about it). Because they are working from home, it’s almost impossible for them to get Blogger to work in an effective way.
We have unrest in the nation. African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans had enough of the status quo in politics, religion, entertainment and law. The need to change started on May 25, 2020 when a cop placed his knee on the neck of an American citizen. He screamed, "I can't breathe...." and cried for his "mama."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
