i'm not going to an 80's party, so stop asking me what i'm wearing

got word today that the brother of one of our folks who just finished their service hours was killed a few days ago. at this point, i don't know what happened. but i do know that he survived growing up a black male in baltimore city - which is huge in & of itself. i also know he was an activist in his community & strongly disliked by the dealers in the neighborhood. on top of that, he survived 2 tours in iraq. just got back last week to surprise his parents... on his travels back to duty in georgia, he was killed while checking on some car trouble he was having. what the hell??? this makes me so sad. his family must be devastated. this could've easily been my brother, who also came back from serving in the middle east to surprise my parents.
