Antre-Vyn Mason-Black

Fellow soldier who serve in Iraq was killed in Washington DC after leaving a nightclub.  I personally did not know Sergeant Antre-Vyn Mason Black, but just like me he is from the Washington DC area.  After surviving the war he comes home and is a victim of a senseless crime.  My prayers go out to his family.  Rest in peace comrade.

In Iraq you know who the enemy is. But what about at home? Al Qaeda doesn’t scare me, it is that damn Al Thugga we need to watch out for.  

Although he is no Socrates, rapper Kool Moe Dee once said in a rap song titled “Self Destruction” “I never ever ran from the Klu Klux Klan and i shouldn’t have to run from a black man”  because that is Self Destruction.

Three men were charged yesterday with first-degree murder in the slaying of an Iraq war veteran early Sunday near a Northwest Washington nightclub. They are accused of fatally shooting Army Sgt. Antrevyn Mason-Black, 24, as he sat in the driver's seat of his silver Mazda about 3 a.m. in the Shaw neighborhood. A 23-year-old man who was with Mason-Black was also shot and remained hospitalized yesterday in critical but stable condition.
