There is just so much violence in our country.
There are so many murders and violent crimes happening on a daily basis we only see a snippet of the things that are happening.
No one is doing anything to stop it.
This kid was 17-year-old and now his life was snuffed out for what surely was some trivial reason. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Here is how LeBron addressed it happening outside of his school
LeBron James asked his 51 million followers on Twitter to “pray for our community” following the beating death Thursday night of an Akron teen on the campus of his I Promise School.
Akron Police say 17-year-old Ethan Liming was beaten to death after he and his friends got into a confrontation with another group of males at the school’s basketball court.
Officers responding to calls of a fight found Liming’s body in a parking lot near the basketball court at the school at 400 W. Market St.
Akron Public Schools said Liming was a “rising senior” at Firestone Community Learning Center and was in the school’s Academy of Design.
The death comes on the heels of a shooting at a vigil earlier in the week in Akron’s North Hill neighborhood that left one man dead and a teenager and another man wounded.
LeBron, who personally dedicated the basketball court in 2019, turned to Twitter to offer his condolences.
“Our condolences goes out to the family who lost a loved one,” he wrote. “(May) the heavens above watch over you during this tragedy!
“Pray for our community!”
It is just a very sad situation where another young person has lost his life senselessly.
When will we be better than this as a society?
It seems like we are actually getting worse if you ask me.
