Tales From Da Hood
I spent about thirty minutes under the tree at New Jack, and I got more information than this post could hold. So, I was sitting at home wondering if I should post this information, since it happened a week ago. Well, you know my motto, if you don't have anything good to say about a person, then sit by me. Usually, I don’t speak in generalizations, but since I didn’t actually see the events that took place, I must speak in general terms. Allegedly, a young boy held his girlfriend/baby momma captive. While holding this girl captive, the boy had allegedly bit this girl in some very private areas. I wonder what the girl was doing while he was biting her in those areas. (It reminds me a little of the Desiree Washington case against Mike Tyson). The girl allegedly texted her brother, and he called some friends, and they rescued the girl that was allegedly being held captive. Somehow, during the process of rescuing the damsel in distress, the teenage boys allegedly jumped the teenage boy that was holding his girlfriend/baby momma captive. Now this is where it get’s interesting. Allegedly, the father of the teenage boy/misogynist and his uncle(who is allegedly a Lumberton alderman) rounded up some adults to allegedly jump on the teenage boy that rescued his sister that was allegedly being held captive. Well, when the matter escalated to the Greentree Apartments aka New Jack, it was stated that the teenage boy (aka future R. Kelly or Mike Tyson) was allegedly in possession of a gun. But his uncle, who again is allegedly a member of the Lumberton Board of Aldermen was able to convince the police officers not to arrest his nephew. So, no one was taken to jail. But I find it interesting that in the midst of this fiasco, we have adults allegedly bringing other adults to jump a teenage boy that allegedly fought another teenage boy that was allegedly holding a teenage girl captive. I know it’s a lot to take in, but that is the story that is circulating in the hood.
I used to live in New Jack and you just told the truth, if you sit under that tree just a little while, you will be told everything that is going on and alot of things that arent. I still pass by there everyday on my way into town and you can tell just from looking in that direction that somebody there is up to no good. Also, I think it is a shame that a bunch of grown men would gang up to beat up a teenage boy, but honestly these teenagers have gotten completely out of control of themselves. They wouldnt have any problem with getting together to beat up an adult so I guess I can really see the other adults point of view in the situation also. I think it is really a shame that a small town like Lumberton has so much violence!! I left here for many years and when I did come back the first thing that I saw was a group of teenagers, and some in their 20's, standing around under that same tree, not getting ready to go to work or to find a way to better the community, just standing there. Thats what they were doing all day as I passed through. Now I understand that there are not many jobs available in Lumberton, but my husband and 2 sons in law moved here and they all had found jobs and were working after moving here from out of state!! We as parents need to take our roles much more seriously and start raising our children to be productive, law abiding citizens and the way we can start that is by being an example that they would like to follow. We are losing our town to violence and economic failure. I love Lumberton but I am seriously thinking about taking my family back out of state, at least there, we could live and work in the same town and not have to lock our doors before the sun even goes down.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your comments about the Lumberton Fire dept. I have always liked Johnny Grant personally, even went to church with him for a while, but I think that removing him as fire chief was a big step forward for the department. It is a comfort to drive by there and always see someone working at the building. Maybe now the response time to a house fire will be better. I hear that the new chief is having lots of training classes and making sure that all of the firemen(and firewomen) are properly trained to fight fires.They have several fund raisers coming up and we as a community need to support them. I for one am glad to see the progress being made at the fire department,at least I know where to find them if I ever need them.

ReplyDeleteHe never mentioned nothing about rape. I hope you are not one of those christians talking like that. It's alot of people talking about it and this is not the first time these two families have got into it. You are talking about a child and its not right for you or nobody else to talk about this child the way you did. I'm quite sure if you have a child you wouldn't want anybody talking about them like that or putting their hands on them. Think before you talk about other folks children.
ReplyDeleteWhoever made this comment about Kendall Jackson Jr. you are dead wrong. He gets love and plenty of it. What needs to happen in these childcare facilities you need to get some people who are trained to deal with children, but you are too cheap and don't want to pay nobody and if you make another comment about my grandchild on this site or any other site I going to sue your butt off. All our children and grandchildren got behavior problems, but you want to kill somebody elses children or grandchildren so people want see yours. I know you thinking she don't know who to sue. I know who he have had problems with and who have had problems with him. How that make you look you say he got problems, but you would rather make him look bad or his parents on this site instead of trying to help him. Ask yourself who got the problem you or him after all you are a grown up and he is a child. You are the one who needs help.I take that back I'm not going to sue you I m going to ask God to bless you and help you see yourself.

If you want to make disparing remarks, and remain hidden, you're always welcomed to go to Lumberton Topix; it's filled with cowards making unfounded accusations. So, be mindful, that I started this blog and I make the decision about what stays posted here.
ReplyDeleteGO HEAD BRA DO YOUR THING N I ENJOYED YOUR TOPICS
ReplyDeleteDear John, The mother protector and provider of Kendall Jackson is very pissed off at this article that has been put on this blog. I know you say you're in charge and chooses what is deleted or stays on this site. I want this article deleted about my son. If them MOTHERFUCKERS wanted to be anonymous they should have kept him anonymous. I want this deleted today. Their trying to label my son before he can begin to live his life. An thats not right. You and your mother try to do whats right, but when you first read the article,cause i know you have read it. It should have been deleted at your first sight of it.
ReplyDeletePer the request of Lakesha, the comment that was posted about her son was removed.
ReplyDeleteIt should not been because i requested it, it should have been because it was beligerent and hateful but i see yall entertain shit like that and the city of Lumberton can kiss me and my son ass with our ass cheeks spreaded. And guess what we're still gone reside here til we see fit to move.
ReplyDeleteWell, to add my dribble of spit to this bon fire. To the person who posted this young child’s name, shame shame shame. To whom much is given, much is required. What if someone posted your child or grandchildren name somewhere public. That was wrong on every level. It does not matter what or how bad a child is, DO NOT PUT HIM OUT THERE LIKE HE IS AN ADULT, HE DOES NOT HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST ANOTHER ADULT’S ACCUSATIONS. Darn, go to someone that the family respects if you cannot approach his mother or person in charge of him or her. I also wish his mother would not have been so vulgar in her comments, but not to sound contradictory, I feel her anger and pain though. I feel every word she said because I have children; I just wish you would have screamed these words to whomever and not to the public. I don’t know you or your son, but do like his grandmother and make an about face. Girl, dig deep and pull up what you were raised on, and rise above these old hypocrites. Whoever wrote your child’s name obviously doesn’t think muck of you, because they didn’t address you in the right way. PLEASE, PLEASE, DON’T LET YOUR ACTIONS AND RESPONSES BECOME WHAT THEY MIGHT THINK OF YOU! More people than you know are in your corner because we all have children and will go to hell and back to protect them, especially from adults who feel a need to pick on children. I’m sure I would be ready to hurt someone too, because no matter what they are or what they have done, there is no love like a mother’s love (to the country people, remember how that hen or bird acted if you tried to mess with their eggs or baby chicks / birds)?! LAKESHA, Just do it in a way that does not leave you looking worse than the original situation. Do it in a way that sends the message and hurts most people where it hurts. Now I am not condoning wrongdoing or shenanigans by children, and I believe in whipping their behinds when necessary, but don’t put their names out there like they are convicted criminals or pedophiles or something. Put some of these crooks, adulterers, drug dealers, pedophiles, known hypocrites, and the likes out there. List their names so we can be aware of them. But then, you might have to list your son or daughter or spouse name. Remember the old saying; people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I don’t know you, LAKESHA, mother of the child, but I am praying for you and your son, and I will pray for the insensitive person who slandered this child’s name.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You might not see it this way and you might tell to where to go too (to the child’s mother), but by allowing that comment about your son to be published, JJ himself not even knowing, allowed the cover to be thrown back on this person. If they are trying to present themselves as someone of importance in the community, then believe me they have just begun to fall from their high horse. Now I wonder how they would feel if you put their name out there and some of their not so good behavior? I’m not saying to put their name out there,, but ..I’m just saying. Oh!! but Oh!!, they are an adult so they have a voice and a means to be heard to defend themselves!
My heart breaks for this child and his mother. For the child, because announcing his first AND last name, he will have to endure teasing by others and a biased opinion from teachers and other adults because of one uncaring grown person. And my heart breaks for the mother because I am almost bought to tears imagining the knot in your stomach and the rage in your heart mixed with the tears of hurt and protectivenes for your child, knowing that someone dared to put your child's name out to the public as if he were nothing with no feeling for him and no thought or decent human respect for you.
ReplyDeleteOn the advice of several friends, I'm not going to allow anyone to take me to a place where I don't want to go. I am not responsible for the comments that are made on this site. I posted something about an incident that happened on Father's Day. I didn't mention any names, but everyone in Lumberton knows what I'm talking about. This site has been in operation for over a year, and it only took one messy story to stir up the wasp nest. So, for those of you litigious individuals, I have included a copy of the first amendment in the upper right hand corner of this blog. I was trying to be cordial, and removed a comment that a mother felt was hurtful. Somehow, during the process, I am being blamed for what someone else stated. So, my decision is to remove comments that I want to remove. If you or anyone else is offened by what I have said,(the post that have my name and logo listed by them) then you can always visit Lumberton Topix. The place where cowards are welcomed.
ReplyDelete@ Lakesha. Bytch please. We've both sat around and talked about other people's children. And you called a comment beligerent and hateful with all the cussing you doing. For that comment on your facebook page, how can the devil be mad at where you going, when he got you wrapped around his finger. Nigga please. Don't try to play the victim now. How are you going to try and talk about Jon as much as he went out of his way to help you get back into your place. I know b/c I was the one that told you to get him to help in the first place. Know me now. I know it's been a minute since I've been in L-town, but I will be back soon.

ReplyDeleteLakesha, you are calling out the wrong person. You need to set it right. It was not Raven that wrote that post. But whoever it is they are very messy and they know how to get you started. Dont let them take you there. Pray God is the only person you have to answer to and he already knows your faults.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is a TRUEEEE Blogger will let all comments stay on the page...with no hurt feelings!
ReplyDeleteJon i was not a follower of the Lumberton Informer until i heard about all the "mess" that was supposedly bein posted. I think that it is a very informative site if you really wanna know what's going on in the community, on the political side and neighborhood wise. I think that the mess is being posted via messsy ppl. W e have all gossiped about EVERYTHING and Everybody at one point in time, and we would be lying if we said we haven't. But when it comes down to bloggin about someones minor i think it has went a little too far. All children are Bad. I am in the company of some everyday. I am sure that what ever it was that made whom ever write that about Kendall Jr. couldn't have beeen that bad. Is he an arsonist, thief, did he vandalize your home what? Sure we see Jack roll up with his boy and say shit here comes kendall and his boy but i say that same thing when i see my own offspring coming. So whats the problem. If He is sooo bad tell his parents. Thats what they are there for. We know Jack ain't gonnna do nothin but maybe his mommma will. Maybe we should go back 2 the old days when you got a whopping by the person who saw you fucking up, and ya mommma. Nah cause i'm sure i would have caught a charge by now.
ReplyDeleteI must say this is a wonderful site! I read this blog for the first time today and I must say, kudos to Mr. Griffith! People, please, names don't have to be posted for everybody to know who's being talked about, it's not like everybody doesn't already know what the people do.. minor or not it's time somebody stepped up & put a stop to this behavior. To the person who commented that he was being given an ufair name before he got a chance to start living his life, who are you kidding? He started living his life the day he was born, & if his parents or whomever is in charge of him was brining him up in the house of the Lord from day 1 & teaching him right from wrong, punishing him for decisions made that were wrong, teaching him there is a consequence for every decision, good or bad, instead of defending him with this kind of behavior then maybe his name wouldn't already be tied with negative thoughts. I grew up in Lumberton & it was a wonderful place, I didn't think I'd ever wanna be anyplace else. Now, I won't even go to a store at night, I won't go to football games, won't go walk at the park at night, all for fear of my life because of the people, children or adults, that have basically taken over the town. In my opinon Lumberton needs a little Charles Bronson/Clint Eastwood vigilante action going on... people take back your town, don't let a few rob the pleasure of all... Mr. Griffith, keep doing your job, you're awesome!
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!!!AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drea you are exactly right! Instead of being one of those parents who say "Oh, no my child wouldn't do that." Who are you kidding? You are not kidding your child's peers, family, teachers, police, judges, arresting officer, coaches, preacher at the local church, GOD?? LOL The parents and grandparents response only gives an example and prove what the problem is. The child may be acting out, but the problem is the egg and sperm donors complete ignorance of setting examples as a parent for the child to learn from and model.
ReplyDeleteI was once in the exact place this kid's mother. I too received warnings about my child. A lady once told me that my child was headed down a bad road and I had best do something before it was too late. I didn't think my children wanted for anything. But I must sadly say they did, they wanted for discipline. I spent many years defending my kids when anyone so much as looked at them wrong. Instead of defending my kids I should have been taking heed to what adults were saying. My son now is in prison for life without possibility of parole. You see now there are two mothers grieving the loss of their child, because my lack of parenting. I grieve for my son who sits rotting in a prison and the poor mother of the young man he killed sits and grieves for her child. I once said "not my child". I also once said I was a great mom. I didn't love my child enough to discipline him and teach him right from wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhy in the world would you post a comment with such vulgar language?
