The Homicide Report continues to chronicle the senseless violence of LA. The saddest story related last week was the death of eight-year-old Jasmine Sanders, shot as she was coming in from playing at her apartment complex. Five days later her 13 year old cousin was arrested. As a new gang member, he was handling a gun and it discharged, accidentally killing little Jasmine. Jasmine's mother and grandmother expressed their grief and frustration. Jasmine is the third family member to die this year.
I know a lot of people just accept this pattern of behavior, a continuing cycle of cultural violence. Personally, I don't believe we have to accept the status quo. Change begins at the spiritual level, it begins with a change of heart.
I continue to pray for LA. As a mother, I especially pray for the mothers of LA. I pray they find the courage to stand against the pattern of violence. I pray they teach their children to seek God and take a higher path. I pray they find the Truth and stop being deceived by Lies. I pray the family of Jasmine Sanders commorates her life joy and love.
So Be It,
Mother T.
