A mass shooting in Norfolk. |
A Virginia journalist is among those killed in a senseless act of gun violence in the city of Norfolk. The state's third largest city and heart of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area is the scene of a weekend shooting.
Sierra Jenkins, a reporter for the Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press was killed outside a Granby Street bar.
Devon Harris was a semi-pro football star. |
The man who died on the scene has been identified as 25-year-old Devon M. Harris of Portsmouth.
Sierra Jenkins reported the news. Tragically she became the news. |
He also wants to look at more data, "and then if the data proves to be that the character of a business contributes to certain types of violence in the city, I would ask council to look at that and maybe to reduce the hours."
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
Norfolk mayor vows to stop gun violence. |
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
