    Default Please help explain this hood-based logic to me

    Early Saturday morning, two individuals were shot and killed near 28th and Welton in Five Points.

    The family of one of the victims, 23-year-old Lumumba Sayers Jr, engaged with KMGH to post a story about him...

    https://www.denver7.com/news/local-n...enver-shooting

    Key points to note:

    He was a local MMA fighter who worked with his father to help stop youth violence.


    "He's the founder of the Gloves Up Guns Down: Get Your Heads Up in the Hood movement. He was stopping a lot of the violence here in the community. Putting on boxing matches and stuff and showing these kids that there's a different way. He ran my moving company for me, that was my best friend," Lumumba Sayers Sr. said.


    Lumumba Sayers Jr. was also a father of a two-month-old son.


    "My son loved being a father. Like I don't care what time it was, middle of the night he?d get up if he heard his baby crying and he was at my house. He?d go find wherever his baby was," Sayers Sr. said.

    Given the above, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IN THE WORLD HE WAS DOING OUT ON THE STREET AT 4:00 AM SATURDAY MORNING?

    When I had a two-month old, the only thing I was trying to do at 4:00 am on a Saturday was get some sleep.

    Maybe like AA he was out there trying to help someone. Or (tinfoil) set up for the hit, possibly due to "disrespectin me" mentality of someone he dropped in the ring. .

    Not enough information. He could've been out to cause mischief, or to stop it.

    That could be a possibility, but I think the silence in the story about what he was doing at the time of the incident is notable. If he was actually trying to help somebody or making a run to 7/11 for some diapers, you would think it would be highlighted in the coverage. Regardless, if you are a new father, your first priority is the mom and the baby, and NOT engaging in any dangerous conduct.

    Not impossible that he was pocketing taxpayer money from BS programs while pretending to have turned over a new leaf, not uncommon in shithole cities.

    Doubtful that the media will report if it looks bad for the deceased.
    I am not smart enough to edit the "title"
