San Jose is
really getting out of hand. You have people taking the law into their
own hands and brawling in the streets. On June 12, 2014 around 10:20
p.m. someone reported a shooting of a young male in his mid- to late
teens at an apartment complex near Spartan Stadium and Happy Hollow
zoo. A witness told authorities that several men with baseball bats
and shovels were walking in the area looking for someone. Witnesses
also told the police that it was at least a dozen people brandishing
baseball bats, shovels and fighting in the streets. Someone in the
crowd had a gun. shots rang out.Unfortunately a young man lost his
life. Nobody knows what motivated this brawl. I can only imagine. Was
it motivated by revenge? Or was this brawl gang related? I think it
was motivated by revenge because if you’re walking around with
baseball bats and shovels you’re not playing baseball or digging a
ditch. I guess we will find out what motivated this deadly brawl in
San Jose in the weeks to come or maybe not. Authorities are asking
anyone with information about the case to contact homicide detectives
at 408-277-5283 or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at
408-947-STOP (7867) or with svcrimestoppers.org.

I was first introduced to
Dr. Maya Angelou’s writings when I was 9 years old. The book was “I
Know Why the Cage Bird Sings”. That book was the defining moment
for me. That is when I truly fell in love with reading. I introduced
my nieces to her writings and they are in love with reading as well.
I have read all her books, Gather Together in My Name, Singin' and
Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas, The Heart of a Woman, All
God's Children Need Traveling Shoes, A Song Flung Up to Heaven, and
Mom & Me & Mom. Dr. Maya Angelou sure could tell a story, I
loved her writing. Dr. Maya Angelou was a true Phenomenal Woman. She
was a renaissance woman who spanned the decades and was renowned as
one of the most influential voices of our time. Dr. Maya Angelou is a
celebrated poet, memoirist, novelist, educator, dramatist, producer,
actress, historian, filmmaker, and civil rights activist. One of my
favorite quotes from Dr. Maya Angelou is “You Alone Are Enough, You
Have Nothing To Prove To Anybody”. My favorite poem is Phenomenal
Woman. Dr. Maya Angelou you will be missed, but never forgotten.
R.I.P.
