As many of you know I live in New York City. It is a rough town and sometimes too rough. Let me tell you what happened at this complex in a matter of weeks. A hate crime was comitted, a young man was invited to a party after he got there he was stripped, doused with gasolilne and burned. All because, he was gay. This was in the building across from me. He is still in critical condition with 98% of his body burned.On Monday I was

ing with Tiffany because, we were going to be late, I told her we live next door to the school and we are going to be late. I was

but when we finally got down stairs I thanked God. I will explain, I saw the coroner's car

off. I saw the yellow bullet markers on the ground and the police yellow tape a Tshirt and some sneakers on the floor. Right in the courtyard of the my building. I thanked God because, my little girl would have seen the body on the floor if we would have come down earlier. There had been a shooting at 5 am and a young man had gotten killed. It was still impressive to her because, she knows what bullet markers are from tv, she also saw the sneakers and the police, I hated that my daughter had to see this. The school had a meeting about it because, some of the kids saw the body on the ground. I am devastated, my husband would have been in the middle of all that he goes to work at 5 am. He was in Mexico with my son they will be back today. Scary huh?
