First, let me extend my condolences to the Wilson Family on the loss of Tarika and the injury to her son Sincere.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong.

It is extremely regrettable that the innocent sometimes get punished with the guilty.

However as the saying goes "if you lie with dogs, you'll get up with fleas."

The deceased knew enough right to forbid drug trafificking from her home; knew enough right to attemt to give her children a disciplined upbringing.

But she did wrong in selecting mates. She did wrong in bringing a criminal into her home as a lover and father figure to her children.l

And, unfortunately for her and her family, all the right things she did could not prevent her from suffering the consequences of the wrong choices she made.

Is Lima, Ohio a racist town? I do not know.

Are there racist members of Lima Police Departmemt? Possibly.

Should the S.W.A.T. Team have exercised better fire discipline and restraint in storming Ms. Wilson's home to apprehend her drug dealing companion? Definitely.

However, had Ms. Wilson made the right choices when it came to choosing a mate and father-figure for her children, noone would have to answer these questions.

Because of her wrong choices her children are now motherless, and her parents have to bury their daughter.

Ms. Wilson made some wrong choices and paid the price.

My prayers go out to the Wilson Family and the town of Lima, Ohio.
