I hate I could not attend because I had another event and just by happen I captured the Edgecombe County S.H.I.N.E. Citizens Academy Reception (Sheriff Cleveland Clee Atkinson) in Pinetops NC at the Sheriff Training Center and Sheriff Keith Stone Nash County was the guest speaker.
I am up on Sunday morning at 4:00 AM looking at the footage of Theresa Alston Stokes.
I heard the call for Conflict Resolution in response to the incident at Chili’s with the female shooting another female. But what I don’t understand is how do one feel that the City Council could have prevented that. When are we going to ask the folk do they know that there are resources out there for that. Folk need to seek help when they are going through.
I understand economics and housing along with some other is a need in Rocky Mount however what I want to see is how does this play a role in the most recent shootings? Yes that is a problem and the current city council has been and continue to deal with that.
Thank you Mrs. Mary Warren for acknowledging that Rev. Joyner has been on the beat for years in Rocky Mount unlike those keeping noise want you to think otherwise. What have the noise maker done? I know that Mrs. Warren is speaking truth because I learned her back in the late 80’s. Thank you for being on the beat.
Community Centers is good but how does that relate to the shooting in Chili’s and the children that died in the vehicles.
I totally agree everyone has a role to play.
I would love to hear more about where Kenneth Muhammad was going with the Unity thing that it is not about Democrat and Republican? I beg the difference it is a Democratic Platform and a Republican Platform and I choose the Democratic Platform. Politics is in everything we do and until folk recognize and understand this world operates that way, they will be left behind.
There was no Unity when the Rocky Mount City Council was a White majority and not that the council is a Black Majority and the White folk are mad because they have lost their power. They left the city and moved to Nashville and damn they still ain’t happy. That is a their problem.
Parental programs are out there but it is not totally depended upon the city. The city has programs in place but they can’t make parents or anyone use the resources they provide.
Mylasha had a great idea when she spoke about a PEACE Park.
Tom Harris soon to be a Rocky Mount City Councilman because he has no opposition I agree with using the AMR money towards housing if that is what the council decide on as a whole.
Shootings are not just in Rocky Mount. Pastor Dennis Gunter you are correct. Yes everybody want to blame somebody Pastors, City Council and others. Nope we can’t stop the shootings. He said he lie in his bed in Meadowbrook and hear gun shots early in the morning and he is in bed like most folk ought to be.
Agreed this is a National issue.
Curfew? The best curfew is the one that the parents put in place and that is that their children I don’t care how old they are ought to be in the house at a reasonable time.
Yes COVID has taken us to a new level. But shooting folk just because one is mad with a person should never be an option. I have not woke up and wanted to go out and kill somebody. I got something to do and that is to volunteer to work overtime on my job going to work at 5 AM in the morning and on Saturday morning I go in between the hours of 3 AM and 5 AM depending upon if I have something that I want to do early in the morning so I work 4 – 6 hours and then go to events or attend virtual on my phone until I get home and switch over to my laptop. So when folk say there ain’t anything to do, hell get a job and get involved in trying to help make your community and surrounding communities a better place to live, work and play. I took that on in the 80’s.
Thank you Taminisha Dickens-Patterson for sharing what goes on in the Ward monthly and inviting folk to get involved.
Councilman Andre Knight thank you for addressing Unity is it really wanted. This council has been fighting for unity but have had to fight since they have been a Black majority council. This council has been the most transparent council.
Can’t have No Peace with No Justice. Excuses has to stop.
Wow! There are 3 Black Pastors and 1 Black Minister on the council.
Thank you Councilman Reuben Blackwell for responding to all that had been said.
Pastor Danny Ellis you are correct on the reason why the shooting took place at Chili’s. Dealing with the Culture. Powerful.
Look at the video provided by Theresa Alston Stokes if you didn’t attend the meeting. If you don’t have time to look at the entire meeting look at it in bits and pieces until you complete the whole video.
Councilman Richard Joyner thank you for your closing remarks. I know what you have done over the years so the noise makers can go somewhere and sit down and shut the hell up about you don’t don’t live in Rocky Mount and that you have not done anything. The daily noise makers are the problem.
As Councilman Blackwell said some want the title but they don’t want to do the work.
So how many community meetings have Bronson Williams, Samuel Battle attended but not only attended but put in the work? I have yet to hear anyone call their names that they put in the work.
Thank you again TAS Community Connections for making the video available so I could watch it.
