On Dec 15 2019, I was robbed. Shot 12 times with a 9mm 🔫. I still have 4 bullets left in me and one being a bullet in the spine which left me paralyzed waist down and highly doubt I’ll ever walk again. That being said, what Rickey said is true because now when out n about im scanning Everything and Everyone because the air gets thicker n it feels like I’m about to get shot again. 😪😪. Even certain things like wearing a chain sometimes I have to hurry and take off because it reminds me of the night when I was shot as well.

Spanking and verbally abusing kids have led to an increase in domestic violence. Kids can be disciplined through words and actions.

[@seakc87]

It's notsomuch being able to whoop someone's kid when they actin up, is being able to collect them. I wouldn't dare try to whoop somebody's child for actin up. But I would tell them, "You shouldn't act like that. This is how you act in public regardless of your age." That's what Rickey's saying you can't do anymore. And you can't. Combine that with the fact that it would one of Jesus' miracle to change the gun laws in this country (among other things), that's why things seem so screwed up today.
