A Model Prisoner





On September 27, 2008, model Ray Armstrong lay naked, sobbing on a Philadelphia Street. He was allegedly high on drugs and had brutally murdered Anthony Williams , his friend of many years. Mr. Williams is known throughout his community for his consistent kindness and generosity; often he opened his door to feed and shelter those who had no place to turn. He referred to Armstrong as his "little brother", who he often housed and fed. Armstrong reportedly had been kicked out by his girlfriend, with whom he lived. Once again he returned to the home of Mr. Williams seeking a place to stay. Tragically, it was his final act of kindness that would cost Anthony Williams his life. Full Story

I had blogged a pictorial tribute to Armstrong, on my Multiply page, some time ago. I was quite shocked when I first learned about
this tragic/sad event that took place. You have to wonder why someone seemingly with so much going for themselves could be involved in such a thing. Drugs ain't shit to play with...wonder if people will ever get that through their heads??
