When your 9 year-old can explain the difference between gun shots and fireworks. This **** is so heartbreaking. Emotionally devastating. To be in a position where you can’t protect your child’s innocence... When gunshots play like a soundtrack throughout the night... When white supremacists have infiltrated your community to **** you... When 911 has been hacked... -Ayo Khamila
