MOURNING


Some people who read this will not like what I am about to say. Leave Jennifer Hudson ALONE. GO HOME! If two people maybe three are killed in a home NO MATTER THE TIME OF DAY someone heard a gunshot right? I mean its a 45 caliber weapon. Who couldn't hear that right? Standing in front of her house is doing NOTHING Get involved and stop that "not snitchin'" bullshit. GET INVOLVED. I ber one of the singer/prayers heard those shots...

Why do black folks ALWAYS do what we’ve witnessed this past week? The need to stand outside of a crime scene is mind-boggling. I have a friend who lives down the street from the Hudson family home. I asked him how he was holding up because the stress in his voice was unusually high. HE CAN’T LEAVE HIS DAMN HOUSE!

He told me the “stream of cars, people and teddy bears” has continued and continues well into the early morning hours. For the love of God – GO Y’ALL SINGING AND PRAYING ASSES HOME! Can she have a chance to mourn? SHE HAS TO BURY THREE PEOPLE! Really y’all – singing SPOTLIGHT (Jennifer Hudson’s latest hit) is SO inappropriate I can’t articulate how stupid it sounds. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE Jennifer Hudson. She’s smart, beautiful, talented and a very nice woman. She has made a way for herself that should be respected and admired. I know what its like to lose a mother…she needs the support of her inner circle and the well wishes of her “fans” but this whole vigil mess is disturbing.

Here are some things to ponder before you send me angry emails…

Triple homicides NO MATTER THE COLOR OF THE MURDERED are a horrible, horrible thing to try to analyze. The shoddy police work done by Jody Weis and co is further proof that Jody Weis MUST be removed from his job NOW. The crime rate in Chicago spiked once Mayor Daley installed Mr. Weis. How do the police look for a white truck, find the alleged driver of the truck 13 miles from the crime scene and NOT look for the truck itself? It was down the street with the body of a 7 yr. old in it. It took a ghetto Chihuahua to find the damn truck. Jody and co. must GO NOW.

Mayor Daley – forget about the Olympics my man…this seals it. Chicago is a “hotbed of death” right now, murder capital of the US. Do you really think that the world wants to come here for that? You are ignoring the issue when you say “please get rid if the guns” to the press. The problem is the lack of opportunities for men living in “the hood”. No hope, no jobs, no nothing. I bet that if this happens on Goethe up in Streeterville – the city would shut down. Your incompetence in this matter is frightening. Here’s to Brazil. Congrats on the Olympics in 2016. Too much death here... By the way – if this were a third world country, the United Nations Peacekeeping Force would be on 70th and Yale and every other “bad street and neighborhood" in this city. Shame on you Mr. Mayor.

One last thing - to the people standing in front of a fucking crime scene. If you want to do something how about starting a fund/foundation in Julian King’s name. That would be the way to show Jennifer Hudson and her remaining family that her “fans” care not only about her and her loss but the future of the children of this city. Send a kid to college in Julian King’s name. Give a kid a chance to do what this little boy didn’t get a chance to do. Oh yeah…too busy singing and dropping off teddy bears to do that.

Wassup Mario,
Well after reading your post I got to wondering what was the point of staying in front of the Hudson home. And actually wondered the definition of 'vigil'. So I looked it up and found...
1. wakefulness maintained for any reason during the normal hours for sleeping.
2. a watch or a period of watchful attention maintained at night or at other times
3. a period of wakefulness from inability to sleep.
4. a devotional watching, or keeping awake, during the customary hours of sleep.
b. Sometimes, vigils. a nocturnal devotional exercise or service, esp. on the eve before a church festival.

With that said what is the reason for staying awake in front of her home during normal sleeping hours, what are they watching for (which brings up to why they weren't watching for something when they heard gunshots), and what are people showing devotion to. Is it to get on tv? Is it the hope to see a celebrity? Are you showing devotion to Jennifer and her family and if so, is the reason because she's now famous. Would you see people out like this for a triple homicide where no one in the family was a singer, actress, celebrity. Makes you wonder...

I agree Mario, folks can now show devotion by sending donations to the new:

Hudson-King Foundation
c/o Abrams Garfinkel Margolis Bergson, LLP
Attn: William L. Abrams, Esq.
237 West 35th Street, 4th Floor
New York, NY 10001

Btw, in that picture are people holding candles in styrofoam cups? Wow, now they trying to burn the house down!
