That Benji Wilson Story on ESPN

[BruhMayne]

Benji saved alotta lives in Chicago by dying so famous and young

Its a shame though it take the number 1 prospect in the nation to die first before they actually started taking gunshot victims straight to the trauma center

The city gave no fukks about the 1000+ people getting shot per year prior to that

Again folks, think about how ridiculous this story is....benji was the 669th person killed THAT YEAR...just that year....but it wasn't until HE died that chicago decided to send gunshot victims to trauma centers???

Seriously folks, let that sink in for a second.

He crushed it.

My personal take on the documentary....

I FULLY believe the killer's side of the story. He was 15 years old and a short nikka in the heart of violent ass Chicago. After his dad died, he probably had fear in his heart each day in Chicago especially since he was never really bout that life growing up. Now mind you, the kid was going to the school to handle some goon who stole money from his sister and surprisingly, he didn't bust his gun on the goon and the altercation ended peacefully. This shows dude has a heart and was happy he didn't have to bust his gun but still handed the problem the best way he could. His main mistake was not going home and still hanging around the area like a bum with his homeboy

Now all you bums siding with Benji, hear me out. Dude was an excellent basketball player but had you paid more attention to the film, Dude was a pure simp to that high school crush of his. Everyone was commenting like as if to say "he was the next big thing but he was sweating this hoe, why??" and anytime she dissed him in public, he'd spaz out. YAll remember Benji pushed a teacher over that hoe in the hallway and got suspended. So if he would push a teacher without thinking (which most nikkas would never do), Im quite sure that nikka would push a 5'6' bum outside of a corner store and then talk greasy because he knew he was the basketball GAWD around town but this time, he bumped into the wrong nikka and got caught slippin.

Now, I dont condone this senseless violent shyt at all but since this is a film portraying how a young future got cut short so it wouldnt go into full detail how some of these young basketball prospects think their invincible and do whatever the fukk they want once they get some media shine. I mean, you heard Benji's brother say "I wish benji wouldn't have acted like me on that day" meaning the brother was leading that nikka wrong on a morality side on handing confrontations. Thats why its important families teach kids right from wrong at an early age because the decisions you make in life truly can affect in your future espcially in the hood.

Both guys were wrong, just one guy was more wrong than the other by killing dude so this is a simple case of "keep your emotions in check especially in dem skreets!"



P.S. very shocked no one mentioned how Wood Harris a.k.a "Avon Barksdale" was narrating this documentary but his character in "The Wire" had numerous young males doing wild violent shyt and and If i remember right, I think he put the hit out to shoot and kill the promising young "Wallace" character

The bolded is the reason why i believe the killer's side of the story, why do some people in this thread think it's so far fetched that Benji came at dude like that even though he flashed the burner

You could say it actually did do something. The year after that Chicago had less murders

But it only lasted during B.C.

Wood harris is from chicago.His character on the wire has nothing to do with narrating this film

You have to separate characters from actual people.This would be no different than tupac narrating this film if he was alive his bishop/birdie characters were just roles he played the same applies to wood harris

Naw, u thinking NYC or LA, both of these cities was averaging 2k bodies in the early 90s.....at its peak in 1992. Chicago had close to 900

so basically you believe the killer had no reason to shoot him? Do we (black men)think something like that should end a life?

 

[The War Report]

Such a senseless murder. I bet his Benji's baby mother still wakes up in cold sweats at night still having nightmares of what happened that day. I know she must have felt real guilty over his death. I seriously don't understand why would she would give him any grief when dude was going to be a superstar in the future.
