Back in the days, people have respect and they told children like the little kids on the bike and I’m teenagers now you not supposed to see this. This is why the children are acting inhumane. They’re not afraid of death. They’re not afraid of seeing somebody killed murder or anything the way they sit near hovering and looking at that your adult should’ve been telling them to move on these children gonna have nightmares and all type of stuff mental problems and you wonder why the city has mental problems look

Everyone standing there recording and showing the blood and this man’s belonging that fell from the track go home .. we don’t know why the man did it. We don’t know what pushed him into but we should all just pray for him. Especially in trying times like this.
