Where are the Coretta's?

Today is indeed a rare day. Initially I was just going to post the blog below titled “To the Left” which ran in Rollingout urban weekly this past week. However, through my voracious appetite for information and my penchant for reading a minimum of 6 to 8 papers daily, I have to write about something else. Yesterday, I posted on a new breed of mother, and described what I felt were women that were really less than women, those that placed themselves and their petty concerns over their men and their children. I am afraid I have to continue this rant. As much as I have talked about us men, in the past, I see that I can only express my concerns objectively.

In New Orleans a teenager, Clarence Johnson is being charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of another teenage boy in his neighborhood. Currently in jail on $250,000 bond, after turning himself in Friday, Johnson was booked for the murder of Robert Dawson, 17, on Wednesday night in Central City.

Now check this, his mother, Vanessa L. Johnson, 44, was also charged with being a principle to second-degree murder, for giving him a gun and for advising her so to “handle his business” and kill the teenager who he had been involved in an altercation with on Wednesday. According to police reports and newspaper articles, she was quoted by a witness as saying, "Kill them all," according to her son. Next, the mother allegedly had a friend who was in her home at the time drive her son from her home on Erato Street to the corner of Simon Bolivar Avenue and Clio Street where Clarence set and waited in ambush for Dawson at a sandwich shop.


Dawson, also 17 became the 21st murder victim of 2007. The irony is that he and his family had just returned to the city after being displaced to Texas after Hurricane Katrina. Dawson and his mother traveled 10 hours via bus from Dallas on Wednesday to New Orleans. He had only been in the city four hours before he was murdered. The mother is in jail on $150,000 bond.


Now, maybe I am wrong but there is something very problematic and un-motherly about a woman giving her son a gun and asking him to kill another person. Let us get a grip folks, all of us as individuals and parents. As a woman, it is a duty for you to correct us as men and boys, for we can be very silly and childish at sometimes even if we are responsible. Please, do not let me marry a woman like this, for if she would expect my child to act in such a fatuous manner, what would she expect from me? She was probably more concerned with her image (her son being seen as tough)as opposed to what was right versus what was wrong. With women, or mothers like these (uncaring, non-compassionate, unthankful and ungrateful), who needs enemies. Where are the Correta Scott Kings, do they make them any more? Because I want one of them.

sickening - she should be under the jail. Now our Mothers are sending their son's to prisons intentionaly.

Apparently the mother was mentally ill. I am sure that soon we will find that she was unstable. As a mother myself I would never hand my child a gun and request that she murder someone. What is missing from people these days is a sprituality. People on a general do not go to church, where they are taught thou shall not kill. That's why these kids and their parents will take your life without a thought, there is no love for their fellow man in their hearts. Hearts are growing colder daily. As in waxing cold.

Damn, I thought we were our brothers keeper. Why din't the friend tell her to stop, that this is wrong, that you do not give a gun to kids and instruct them to kill another kid - but no, that fool drove him there - they should be held without bond also

I read that same news this morning and it hit me pretty bad.

Being a past resident of New Orleans, LA for the last 16 years prior to the hurricane, the area in which the murder occured is a highly infested drug area. Also the article stated that the mother was charged with felony possession of cocaine back in 1999. Let's just hope this sister was high and not in her real mind when she sent her son out the door with a hand gun telling him to "shoot them all." If she wasn't I just can't see how you can instruct a teenager (whose mind is not yet fully developed) to take another mans life without any thought of the repercussions. Does this women have any type of love for God? I agree totally with dj black adam's comments.

Maybe this women was uneducated, maybe she unloved as a child, maybe she mentally not with us, either way we should say a prayer for her, her son, and the victim because I believe they are going to make an example of them.

Just like this mother, there are still far too many unstable mother's. I'm blessed to know of several Coretta that are living in my life.

As a single mother of two boys, living in Detroit, I am totally appalled. I cannot fathom what was on this mother's mind. As I try to teach my sons to "do right by other" here is a mother telling her son to "do anothers." My heart and prayers go out to both families.

Hey Torrance,This actually happened here in New Orleans. Coincidentally, the mother's name is Vanessa Johnson. Needless to say, I got ribbed the entire day as this is my name as well. Sad, sad...now both mom and son are incarcerated. ..

Love & Peace,

If this really bothers you and simply staying abreast on the news doesn't seem satisfying enough, there are many privacy organizations that work with technology like smart cards that you can get involved with. If using a Mac, drop the Card Reader icon into Trash, and wait for 5-10 seconds before pulling out the card. Android document scanners aren't
only great for capturing and storing business
cards and receipts but also do a good job of capturing whiteboard
notes, and content from magazines and books.
