Black Leaders In Las Vegas AWOL Again

A Black on Black crime that kills an innocent Black man and a White woman and where are the Black leaders in the Las Vegas community?

Have we heard from Ricki Barlow, a City of Las Vegas council  member? 

Lawrence Weekly
Where has been Lawrence Weekly, a Clark county commissioner?
When the Strip shooting that has gripped the nation occurred, these two weaklings have stayed silent.  They said nothing about the pimps that were involved in the shooting.  They said little, if anything, about the poor Black taxi driver who was killed in the aftermath.
Weekly has a newsletter on his County web site and not once has this clown ever wrote about Black on Black crime or any or messages on crime.  But weekly is quick to point the faults of Metro police but the faults of Black on Black crime and death of an innocent taxi driver and tourist.  On Weekly's Twitter page, there is no mention of the Strip shooting.  Is this clown blind or is he afraid of the drug dealers, pimps and gang members that he cannot speak ill about them?
Barlow has some press releases on his web site, but nothing about crime.  On Barlow's twitter account, nothing is mentioned about the Strip shooting, but he sure can talk about the Super Bowl in New Orleans.  Is Barlow afraid of the pimps, gang members and drug dealers as well?
These are two leaders of the Black community and they say nothing about Black on Black crime, no mention about the innocent lives lost.  No mention of the unsolved murders of Black teenagers, like high school senior Betty Pinkney, who was killed just over a year ago.


William Horne
William Horne is a Las Vegas Assemblyman and a leader in the Nevada Assembly.  He has nothing about the Strip shooting and his web page, again, nothing about Black on Black crime.  Why, is this guy  afraid of speaking out?  Is he afraid of the drug peddlers, pimps and gang members as well?  I'll cut a very little slack because he is a Nevada Assemblyman. 
But Weekly and Barlow are the local politicians on the ground in Las Vegas and they are not protecting the Black community from drug peddlers, pimps and gang members.  If Barlow and weekly are so scared of speaking out against the thugs in the Valley and Black community, then they need to leave and let someone who has a back bone, guts and are not a chickenshit politician.
