La’Darious Wylie, 11, Loses His Life As He Bravely Saves His Sister

“La’Darious was a fifth-grade student at Chester Park Center of Literacy through Technology and the son of Elizabeth McCrorey and Carlos Wylie Sr. According to Robinson, he was the third oldest of three brothers and five sisters. She described him as an incredibly charming young man who had a very close relationship with his family.

“La’Darious loved his family,” she said. “He was the apple of his momma’s eye. He was well-behaved, he got good grades and he played football. He liked the Baltimore Ravens. The school was supposed to take him to the Bank of America Stadium this week to meet the [Carolina] Panthers and, even though it wasn’t his team, he was so excited because he loved football.”

On October 27, 2015, standing among a few other kids, La’Darious Wylie, 11, and his sister, Sha’Vonta, 7, waited together for the school bus. And then out of no where, a car was heading right towards where the children were standing.

Like a true hero it only took La’Darious Wylie half a second to realize what he had to do as the car rushed towards them; he had to save his little sister. Pushing her out of the way, he saved her life. But he didn’t have time to move himself and was hit by the car. The next day, the 28th, he passed away. Though they claim it is still under investigation, they’ve identified the driver as Michelle Johnson, charging her with fatal hit and run. She is currently out on a $25,000 bond.

This is the GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses and his family as they get through the next few months. Please check it out or share it; imagine if it were you…

 

The following are video accounts, with the second one being his sister and brother remembering him… This is sad news, but it also shows the goodness and kindness in the heart and soul of a brave young man whom loved his sister and family. His harrowing death is also the death of a brave young man; I think he deserves national attention and respect.  Or at least a lot more notice than I’ve seen being shared about him. I’ve read he is getting attention nation wide; I hope that is true; I hope everyone hears about this young child…

Not everyone would have been able to make the choice the did; and for that his sister is very blessed, and so is this world. His act of brotherly love  shows there is hope. La’Darious is hope to me in a tragic world; he is proof that family, real love, selflessness, loyalty and looking after others is not a wasted cause. He is the very definition of all those things; he is in my eyes a true hero.

May your next journey be beautifully blessed….

Story All Should Read- 1 Woman’s Story of Being Arrested For Standing Up For Beliefs & Justice

Reporting an article I feel everyone should read and ask the,selves why others think they have the right to control a woman’s body and medical choices.

Post begins:
You’ve seen the news: When they thought no one was looking last week, state senators in North Carolina tucked several dangerous attacks on women’s health into an unrelated bill. Legislation originally meant to — yes, you’re reading this right — ban “Sharia Law” in North Carolina will now also severely restrict a woman’s ability to make deeply personal, private decisions about her pregnancy by restricting access to safe and legal abortion.

North Carolina has a proud history as a pro-choice beacon in the South. In the 1930s, we were among the first states in the country to have a state-funded family planning program. We liberalized our abortion laws before Roe v. Wade. In 1976, Congress passed the Hyde Amendment, cutting off Medicaid funding for abortion services for women with low incomes. North Carolina responded by setting up a state abortion fund, which at one point amounted to $1.5 million a year. When I started working for Planned Parenthood in 1982, North Carolina had a model, age-appropriate K-12 sex education curriculum.

Everything has changed.

City Approves Money For Drone to be Used on American’s in NC

In North Carolina the Monroe City Council has approved $44,000.00 for the Police Department to use to fund a 3 foot long, 2.5 pound drone to fly around the community when the cops “need” it. Such cases of need would be for so called “drug raids” and things of the like; not to spy on every day “law-abiding citizens” – so they claim. The government doesn’t have a track record of being honest, especially when it comes to spying on its own people. Police and the council alike agree they can see where the “concern” for abuse comes from, both shaking it off with a simple, “it is for community safety” response.

One council member, Margaret Desio, stated:

“We’ll have a lot of citizens say, ‘I don’t want that thing flying over my neighborhood,’ and I agree with them 100%. … It speaks of Big Brother watching you…. If it’s flying, there better be a damn good reason it’s in the air.”

The ACLU has filed public records requests for the use of the drone and other military devices now being implemented in American towns and cities. If anyone believes the government will actually not spy on “law abiding citizens” – hell, even drug “users” should not be singled out by this! It is a violation of privacy. I see no way it offers a safer society; in my opinion, it offers a more 1984 style society. The past shows us that, if you look back through the CIA during and after the Cold War it is obvious trusting them to watch over us with good intent is a joke. This news shouldn’t shock anyone, and will only spread through-out America if people do not begin to wake up.
