A sad, sad event. With the triumph of President-elect Obama still fresh in our minds, these two young Black men have taken steps that will involve them in the judicial system for some considerable time to come.
Our young people, of all ethnicities, must be aware that their actions have consequences and they owe it to themselves and their community to make good and wise choices. This action was neither.
