Always be aware of your actions and the possible consequences.
Always be aware of your actions and the possible consequences.
Have you ever had the chance to steal something and chose not to?
Well a group a young Black men had such an opportunity, at Buddy Lots in Wayne, NJ, when they entered the closed store through an open door.
The store lights were on and they were oblivious to the fact that the store was closed until they attempted to call a salesperson in order to pay.

Black Men caught on tape NOT stealing!
After a few moments they realized that the store was closed and proceeded to pay for the items and leave.
All while on camera! Kudos to these men. With the rash of stories painting young black men as savage in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal such a positive story is enlivening.
We are not all criminals in fact most of the young Black men labeled criminals are not criminals at their core but just mislead and childish.
A man doesn’t steal because he values himself more than any object. Message!
