In this letter, the City of Virginia Beach totally dismissed the homicide of @Pharrell’s cousin, Donovan Lynch, but yet emphasizes the possible capitalistic shattering the city will face from this opportunity. Another example that money means more than Black life. A sad day.

@NRA You want to control your guns, but not the people that use them. You want to protect the 2nd amend. that was ratified 227 yrs. ago not realizing that some laws are meant to change. People young and old have lost their lives to guns with bullets that didn’t have their name on it.
