Marcel Jackson, a 39 year old devoted father of six
children, was ferociously gunned down by some coward who was inside of a
downtown club beating on a woman. Jackson evicted the man, who returned at
about 3:15 in the morning and gunned down Jackson outside of the club. Jackson
was working as a bouncer at the downtown night club.
Senseless killings such as these are starting to mount in
the City of Detroit. The Detroit 300, a non-profit organization committed to
taking back the streets of this city, are still committed to their mission,
which is summarized as follows: Our sole focus is to help communities organize to eradicate crime by policing targeted areas and
collectively pursuing individuals who wreak havoc, mayhem, and terror therein
(eg., murder, shootings, rape, burglary, robbery, assault & battery,
burning of dwellings and stripping of homes.
Something as senseless as this may cause some organizations
to give up the fight. But not the Detroit 300. They are more motivated than
ever, especially now that one of their own has been gunned down by one of the
very cowardly punks that are trying to eradicate from these violent streets.
The membership in this group of citizens, community
organizations and civic groups is continually growing. Raphael B. Johnson, who
is one of the founding members along with Pulitzer Prize winner Angelo
Henderson, and Minister Malik Shabaaz, won’t let this one incident deter from
their mission. Citizens of this city are tired of the violence that seems to be
growing by each hot summer day.
We at Live From Detroit implore the Detroit 300 to keep your
mission in the forefront of everyone’s minds in this city. For those who would
like to join the Detroit 300, please visit their website at http://www.thedetroit300.org/about.html
