How about you focus on the amazing things she did for her community throughout her short life? Instead of passing judgment about a subject you know a limited amount of information about, how about doing research into exactly why she was such an impact on the Berkeley community. How about doing research into why of all the murders that happen everyday why she was honored and able to receive a memorial unlike so many others. She was a mentor to the community, went on to help many less fortunate by volunteering her time, spread knowledge throughout the Berkeley High School campus about youth rights and education for minorities. She came from an "urban" neighborhood and was able to get a FULL academic scholarship to Dartmouth University. That is what you should educate your children about instead of the ignorance you displayed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670688728662593756.post-47973331609840978922008-04-24T19:26:00.000-07:002008-04-24T19:26:00.000-07:00http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20050729/ai_n15824510<BR/><BR/>People seem to have forgotten the information given by the following article, but let me recap:<BR/><BR/>Ms. Willis-Starbuck got in an argument with some college football players. Instead of walking away, she called her friend and told him to "bring heat". He did, as requested, bring heat. He fired. Ms. Willis-Starbuck got shot and was killed by the gun she requested be brought to her little spat.<BR/><BR/>Am I supposed to explain to my kids, when they ask about the bench, that it is there to remind us that if we ask a friend to bring a gun to settle an argument, that we should duck when it arrives?<BR/><BR/>She doesn't deserve a memorial bench. She deserves a Darwin Award. <BR/><BR/>Get rid of this horrible memento of idiocy in action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
