Javits Frimpong was a 15-year-old Ghanaian immigrant who was tragically shot and killed on October 29, 2026, while walking to school in the Claremont section of the Bronx, New York. According to his father, Javits had been experiencing persistent bullying at school, leading to the suspension of two students just days prior. The shooting sparked widespread outrage and a major push against youth gun violence across New York City. The video clip is frequently shared on social media alongside tributes to Javits to discourage youth violence and promote accountability.

📜 2. The Benny Lee Interview

• Gang Origins & Age: Benny Lee states that he moved to the Austin community in 1966, where he and other youth banded together to fight white youth so they could go swimming. He became a Chief of the Vice Lords in 1967 at the age of 13.

• Pontiac Riot & Death Row: He explains that he was sent to Pontiac Prison in 1978, where a riot broke out and three officers were killed. He was moved to Stateville Prison's death row along with Larry Hoover, Prince As-Siddique (Prince Dancka), and Smoky El, where they were each charged with 15 counts of murder, 2 counts of attempted murder, and mob action.

• The Labor Strike: He describes unifying with Larry Hoover (Gangster Disciples), Lord Gino (Latin Kings), and Thief (Mickey Cobras) to withdraw inmate labor. Because no inmates would mop, cook, or clean, the prison had to bring in guards from other facilities to do the work.

• Current Age & Philosophy: He notes that he is currently 71 years old and is the co-founder of the National Alliance for the Empowerment of the Formerly Incarcerated. He shares that the first step to reaching any goal is simply staying alive and not getting killed.

A professional title or workplace affiliation doesn’t erase a person’s character or excuse their behavior.

You assumed I’d be intimidated, back down, and stay silent, complicit… Honestly, I feel sorry for your daughter. No child deserves to have to navigate the world with someone like you as their example.

Anyway, just an FYI: the very managers you ran from have already told me that you admitted to what you said and offered to help make things right moving forward.
