Hey! We meet to talk about the hullabaloo surrounding the murder behind Clare Njokis’ saga for all who keep touch with trending issues… the young girl believed to be 18 years old shot dead in a fire exchange with police officers, so I’ve heard.
So yea, this can make news since for quite some time we are used to young men being caught in the heinous crime of violence which until now I have not wrapped my head on the fact that how a sane human being would go ahead and take what does not belong to them and go an extra mile to hurt the victim all the same. (Francis, cool down, sip some hot coffee coz karma knows when “what goes around comes around” time is).
Growing up I understood through experience that being born, raised around and in the ghetto and especially as a young boy (adolescent) is a crime by itself. Why do I say this? Your neighbor will wake up and mistake you for the person who stole their phone and without any questions, you are taken down by the mob, someone else will want to look like they are doing their job for the camera and so you are collateral damage amongst the real villains and of course that stupid person who will just finish you off coz you are not their cup of tea. All this will not be taken serious because alikuwa chali (was a guy).
The other day at my age and living in an area where crime is at probably 15/100% coming from work at around 2030 hours, I met the big black lorry that patrols the night every once in a while in the dark (every guy who knows life in the other side of the streets understands what I am talking about) and guess what, I freaked out and for a minute there was a mixture of tension, fear and confusion. Mind you I was not guilty of even harming a fly but yet I felt that way. Why? Because young men and boys no longer feel safe even when innocent yet our sisters are becoming hardcore to the same thing we and only we (the male gender) have been stereotyped to be capable of doing at its worst in our nature.
Seems the gender equality is now getting its real meaning with such stories of lady gang groups and other unlawful acts coming to light and hope in the near future, a man going to report of being raped by the opposite gender will not be a meme moment and laughable matter. (Does not mean I am in support of the killings and taking sides me being “in the all righteous team” but I think it is high time we commend the fact that whatever gender you are, the same law used on #TheMaleIssue will also apply to the opposite gender)
To my fellow age mates raised in the ghetto and unfavorable circumstances, easy come easy go… “There is never a day when you will move a mile in someone’s pain, hard work and tears when it never cost you the same pain, hard work and tears”. Learn to work for what you want, and for sure you can b**** and brag about it when the deal is done.
