Woman Shocked By What She Saw On Playground, Immediately Snaps Picture

Amanda Shea

A woman walked onto a St. Louis area school yard and saw a scene unfold before her that she couldn’t believe. Before interrupting, she quickly pulled out her camera and took a picture to document that what she witnessed really happened.

With all the rioting, violence, crime, and debauchery coming out of Missouri in honor of Michael Brown’s memory, the photo she snapped this week shines a light into the darkness and provides hope for the future.

Sometimes the biggest messages come from the smallest gesture, which is captured in this picture from the St. Louis Language Immersion School playground. While it’s simple and sweet, it provides an important lesson in contrast. Not far outside the school gates, there are thugs and criminals raised entirely differently than this little boy, referred to as Randy by the woman who claimed to he his mother and uploaded this picture to the school’s Facebook page.

Randy was raised right by a parent who proves that black lives really matter by bringing him up to respect women and also to make something of his future. He’s not going to get caught up in a convenience store, robbing the clerk at gunpoint and getting shot by police. His mom won’t be blaming the system or racism for why her kid got what he had coming to him by his own actions. Al Sharpton will never know this boy’s name, because he can’t make a race-baiting point or a paycheck off of him.

While the rioter, looters, criminals, and gang members in Missouri get all the media attention by demanding it through animal-like actions, little Randy quietly takes center stage. What he did for his fellow classmate was more than tie her shoe, he restored faith in humanity that there are hopefully more kids out there like him with present parents who take their job at home seriously.

Thugs aren’t born, they are created as a product of their home environment and entitlement. If more fathers taught there sons respect and good work ethic and their mothers showed them how to care about other people, many issues in society today could be avoided. Kudos to little Randy’s leaders in his home, you’re doing it right.
