The mother of slain Mario Denzel Hamilton aka Slim Dunkin made a shocking appeal to her son’s killer moments after laying him to rest. Hip Hop Enquirer’s Dennis Byron was at the burial when Janet Hamilton decided to speak out. Her words speak volumes as someone who has lost her oldest son. We are also sharing scenes from inside the church as we were the only one allowed media access to cover it. Hip Hop didn’t kill Slim Dunkin…a killer did.There were many friends, family and celebrities who attended the homecoming for Mr. Hamilton that included rapper Gucci Mane, rapper Yung Chris, Travis Porter, and other notable attendees. One of the most moving moments was when a white horse drawn carriage entered into his neighborhood in Clayton County only to be greeted by hundreds of people.
There is nothing sadder than to have to witness a parent burying a child who she believed would be a part of her life for many years to come. While my job was to cover this news story, I couldn’t be more disgusted at the fact how so many of our young people are losing their lives over the most ridiculous things. There is no justification that would have warranted this man to have lost his life even if it was a result of one person losing a fight to another.
A weapon should only be used in the fair defense of oneself against another who is bringing that equal amount of danger to the person and when there is no way to retreat to safety. In this case, one person may have felt that his manhood was put on the line and may have acted out in fear and foolishness but at the end of the day, a life was senselessly taken and as a result two families will have to suffer from it. To all of you who are reading this right now, please don’t be tricked or fooled into believing that taken a life is justified just because someone said the wrong thing to you. Prisons are filled with people who acted out of haste and chances are will never see the free world again. Ask yourself…is it really worth it?
