Rest in Peace Alim Rahim

An old childhood friend of mine was brutally murdered this past Mother’s Day in Largo, Maryland. There have been reports that Alim was shot 10 times and twice in the head. Alim and I hadn’t talked much as adults but I was sincerely rooting for him and wishing him the best. We lived completely different lives and we were so different but that time I saw him in Burger King a couple years after high school graduation and we were talking about his music and his goals. He still reminded me of the kid I knew back in elementary school. I always knew Alim had a strong heart and a sharp mind, even back in our High Bridge Elementary School days. I’m probably rambling, I’m sorry. I will hold on to the memories of us riding bikes all day during the summer and playing video games at your house up the street. I’m so sorry a coward has stolen your life from you Alim, please rest in peace and watch over your friends and family.

If anyone knows ANYTHING about this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 1-866-411-8477 (TIPS) You will remain anonymous.

Please boost this, Alim’s friends and family are hurting so much right now.

Please reblog and help as much as you can. I’m a single father of three beautiful girls. I was laid off two years ago and its been a struggle to keep my family afloat. My daughter Gia plays the violin and I need help raising money for her tuition. She was accepted into Setlement Music…

Elliot Earl Williams is a 37-year-old Army veteran with a history of mental illness. As you know, nearly half of people returning from hot zones have mental illnesses such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) or TBI (traumatic brain injury) and shouldn’t be blamed. He was arrested in the hotel for having a mental breakdown.

He needed immediate mental health care!

Instead, he was given nothing but disgust. He was left naked in the cell for days unable to eat, drink and even move, until he was pronounced dead. He was treaded like an animal! Luckily, there was a camera in the cell and you can see everything by yourself.

This horrible attitude towards Black veteran is an outrage.

The media keep silent but we will not!
