Family Mourns 16-Year-Old's Death Outside School

2009_10_bksh1.jpg At a vigil, the family of Malachi Cotton begged for the community's help in finding the 16-year-old's killer. The teen was shot multiple times at a bus stop outside Metropolitan Diploma Plus High in Brownsville, Brooklyn on Monday afternoon. City Councilman Charles Barron added, "If you see something, say something. And all those who don't want to snitch, tell me. I'll snitch. If you're afraid to snitch, I'll snitch. They say snitches get stitches, bring it. You tell me and I'll do the snitching."

Can't believe I'm agreeing with something that Charles Barron said. The proverbial broken clock getting the time right twice a day I suppose.

Hope they catch the scumbag killer, condolences to the distraught family. What a nightmare for them

Isn't telling Barron snitching in the first place? How does telling him cleanse the teller of snitching? Let this suburban upper-class white fellow how this snitchin' works.

Hey, if this helps put somebody away or helps save a life, why not? Somebody has to do something to stop this no snitching crap.

My condolences to the family-this is a terrible loss. An entire community should not be held captive by predators. These murderous scum need to be swept off the street at once

That's exactly it. These murderous thugs are nothing but neighborhood terrorists and should be dealt with as such. And swiftly.

i'm sure all the kids have barron in their fave 5.
