15-year-old Adrian Broadway was reportedly shot in the head by 48-year-old Willie Noble over a silly prank that involved throwing eggs, flinging mayonnaise and wrapping toilet paper around a parked car in Little Rock, Arkansas.


As stated on CNN.com:

Adrian was with a group of teenagers who had gone to a house to do a "retaliation" prank on another teen who'd done a prank on them on Halloween, according to the Little Rock Police Department. 
 As they were leaving, a man came out of the house and opened fire. Broadway was struck in the head and died. 
Police have charged Willie Noble with one count of first-degree murder, one count of a terroristic act and five counts of aggravated assault.

 What can possess a man to whip out his gun and aim it at a 15-year-old black child over something so trivial? Perhaps, the developed hatred for black people and black females in general? I ask this, because Willie felt comfortable enough to shoot a child. Adrian Broadway was a young teenager, a very young person doing something stupid-idly silly. Though, nowadays, doing just about nothing can get you killed these days see: Trayvon Martin.

There has been a very disturbing trend involving blacks demonstrating their authority over other black people. Security gaurd Darien "taser happy" Long is a prime example of this dangerous trend. Black folk are not only getting flak from outside races, but we are also being targeted by our very own people for small things!!!

Why is it that all the blame is always put on black women, when time and time again the headlines reveal that some black men may be becoming out of control...

On the real though:  Adrian Broadway regardless of the prank pulled, did not deserve to get shot and killed! Fortunately for us, Willie will have to face the consequences behind locked bars, remembering each and every day that he killed a black child potentially over colorism and what the media has taught hime to believe!

Smh.
