Global Grind Editor Buys Would-Be Mugger A Meal


4th Annual Stay In School Pep Rally & Concert

Here is a very thought-provoking article by Michael Skolnik, managing editor of Russell Simmon's hip hop social media site Global Grind. Skolnik was accosted by two 15-year-old street kids who demanded money from him. Skolnik took the time to talk to them, and they told him they were only sticking him up because they were hungry. He diffused the situation by buying them a meal and making friends with them. It is a sad indication of the break down of the family when children are willing to stick someone up for a meal. But Skolnik showed them the meaning of love your enemies.
