  • The Unusual Spiral the Other Side of the Tracks by Perry Redd BC Columnist
    Dec 13, 2012 - Issue 498 The Unusual Spiral The Other Side of the Tracks By Perry Redd BC Columnist We just witnessed two tragedies in the span of a week. The late Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, Jovan Belcher, fatally shot his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins on Saturday at the Kansas City home they shared with their 3-month-old daughter, Zoey. He then drove to the Chiefs’ practice facility at Arrowhead Stadium, where coach Romeo Crennel, general manager Scott Pioli and defensive assistant Gary Gibbs witnessed Belcher commit suicide. How utterly tragic… Shortly afterward, the NFL was rocked by the car crash that killed Dallas Cowboys player, Jerry Brown, and left his teammate, Josh Brent, facing a manslaughter charge as the driver of the vehicle. Two weeks ago, San Francisco 49ers defensive end, Demarcus Dobbs, walked away from a one-vehicle accident on his 25th birthday, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Would this rash of incidents lead us to believe there’s an epidemic or are these merely coincidences? Sudden and untimely death is nothing unusual for the Black community. Heck, Chicago is anticipating at least 436 homicides this year. Just a couple of hours prior to this writing, an 18-year-old was hurt in a burst of gunfire near a school bus. Three or four people started shooting in the direction of the bus, which was near a busy intersection. The 18-year-old was struck in the leg. He was taken by the bus driver to a local hospital, where he was listed in good condition.
