I can't tell you how often I've seen the same statement after a shooting death..........
TheGrio Pregnant Afro-Brazilian influencer and unborn child killed in police shootoutSytonia Reid Wed, June 9, 2021, 2:50 PM “Thank you Lord for blessing my womb and allowing me to generate the love of my life,” 24 year-old Afro-Brazilian influencer Kathlen Romeu wrote just days before she and her unborn child were tragically killed in a police-involved shootout. In a heart-shattering double-tragedy, a pregnant Afro-Brazilian influencer and her unborn child were killed in a police-involved shootout in Lins de Vasconcelos, Brazil on Tuesday. The 24-year-old lifestyle influencer and interior designer Kathlen Romeu was shot by a stray bullet and taken to a hospital but succumbed to her injuries, according to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. Just days before the shootout, Romeu posted a photo on her Instagram account showing off her baby bump with the caption “Mom 2021”. In a June 2 post translated from Portuguese, she wrote, “I’m finding myself as a mother and I get scared thinking about what it’s going to be like…A mix of feelings. Maybe the craziest in the world but I’m going to laugh in front of it all.” Romeu added, “Thank you Lord for blessing my womb and allowing me to generate the love of my life.” It is unconfirmed whether the bullet that struck Romeu and her unborn child came from Brazilian police or civilians in the area where she was at the time of the shoot out. Violent police raids in Brazil, fueled by a government initiative to crackdown on illegal drugs and weapons, has alerted global coverage in recent years and disproportionately ravages Black and Brown communities in the country. “It all happened very suddenly. My granddaughter fell as a lot of shooting started. I tried to protect her because I knew she was pregnant. I saw a hole in her arm and shouted for help. I lost my granddaughter and great-grandson in a barbaric shootout,” said Romeu’s grandmother who was with her at the time of the shootout. The Sun reports that Romeu’s grandmother told Brazilian media that Romeu had moved away from Lins de Vasconcelos just a month ago to avoid the violence.

He's best when it's pitch black out
I swear I've heard that same "We just moved to get away from violence' statement in no less than 5 murders in the last few years.
One made me especially scratching my head as they moved from Gary, Indiana to Milwaukee, WI. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) Oakland or Beruit didn't seem appealing enough? |

Women! "Don't go there!"
"Don't come!" (alternate spelling)
It never ends.  |

It never ends. Nope. But it could be made better... if anyone could agree to giving it a try. |

Using the Gates Theory...... I keep wondering why the focus is on making one of the best places better? While all these places people are fleeing from get a pass?
