American Streets...the new killing fields

Tonight @ 11 pm est - 8 pm pst on www.bks1radio.com BKS1 Radio's Live In The Vocal Booth team discusses the rising problem of violence on our streets. All too often when tragedy strikes people look for the causes and point the finger here there and everywhere.  We place blame on the community leaders, the community, the school system, the parents and drugs.  When will we face the fact that we all share a part in the demise of our communities?


Many of us are far too silent and locked in by fear.  The fear that cripples us is the face of the violence and the perpetrators that seem to have no concise and no value of life.  Guns and Violence are no longer gated inside the urban areas it has spilled out and crept into the gated communities.


Violence face is varied in color, shape and age.   Violence has no respect for your address or your level of education.  We can’t move away from it and think its okay.  We can’t pull our kids out of the school system and think we don’t still have to work to make things better.


After the memorials, after the tears, and the graveside prayers, after the mourning, what will you do to bring about change?

Tonight the BKS1 Radio team along with community leaders will listen to your concerns and offers of solutions.  We will talk about what is working to curtail violence in other areas and what each person can do to make a difference.  Let your voice be heard “Live In The Vocal Booth”  Call in 646-929-1530 or chat in our shout box!!!

One mistake in our justice system can change peoples lives FOREVER!!!

Tonight @ 10 pm est - 7 pm pst on www.bks1radio.com BKS1 Radio's Live In The Vocal Booth team along with you the listener will rate and review VV Brown's latest release Travelling Like The Light. Followed @ 11 pm est by our topic when we discuss the criminal justice system. We have the fairest system in the world, but sometimes  it seems as though the system is always one or two steps behind the criminals. There have been countless times that criminal suspects have been detained or in custody and then released only to  commit more heinous crimes that change many peoples lives. A case close to the hearts of the BKS1 Radio family is the case of Jameela Qureshi. Jameela was murdered in her own driveway by Luis Porras and Amanda Dove. Luis Porras had plead guilty of the statutory rape of Jameela's daughter and had a restraining order placed against him. In the statutory rape case he plead guilty and was sentenced to 8 years probation, which is astonishing to me. He had prior run ins with the justice system, he had a murder charged dropped which allowed this predator to remain on the streets. Join us tonight on www.bks1radio.com let us know your opinion on VV Brown and your opinions on the laws of our land and how you think the justice system is working.
