In the pitch black of last night, somewhere around 3 or 4am (I don’t have a clock) a prisoner called out through his steel cell door.
P1: Anyone wanna talk?
* Pause *
Anyone wanna talk?
After 30 or so seconds, another prisoner replied.
P2: Yo Yo
P1: Hey man what you in for?
P2: Don’t ask me what I’m in for you broke ass nigga.
P1: I asked if you wanna talk nigga. Why can’t I ask you…
P2: WE BOTH IN JAIL NIGGA SHUT UP!
P1: Pussy nigga I’ll kill you!
The next 15 mins was both of them screaming death threats at each other at the top of their voices.
Eventually, a demonic roar erupted from another cell.
A deep and raspy scream coupled with furious bangs on his cell door.
Boom Boom Boom. And a death metal shriek.
The two original prisoners argued for another minute or so, until eventually subsiding to the banging and roaring.
I thought this “demon” just wanted them to stop fighting. But I think they simply woke him up.
He continued to roar and bang for hours. Until the sun rose.
I was unable to sleep and it was too dark to read, so I counted the bricks on the wall.
If Black American teenagers die defending themselves or kill defending themselves, they are guilty either way under systems of white supremacy.
