grand rapids to hold city commission meeting that will debate changing long-held street name to dead nEGRO'S moniker

GRA: If every city changed the name of a portion of their street for a nig-napped blackie, the post office couldn't keep up with it. Precedent is being set here. You rename one street, you're going to rename them all--blacks will make sure of it.

“grand rapids, mich. (wood) — grand rapids city commissioners will hold a public hearing tuesday to consider commemoratively naming part of Umatilla street 'Amillier Penn way,” in honor of a 15-year-old boy shot dead last year.

[GRA: If “commemorative” means just adding a street sign below the regular sign, that's no biggie, but REPLACING the Umatilla street sign for a block or two, is another matter.)

“Amillier Penn was killed while playing football with friends on june 2, 2024. police said few witnesses cooperated, but in may, 17-year-old Cartiyae Pascal was charged with open murder.

“Penn’s father, Corey Penn, requested the designation to honor his son. the proposal applies to Umatilla street between Madison and union avenues.” [GRA: Pure ghetto area.]

“commissioner Milinda Ysasi previously called it “a small way to remember such a young life taken.'”

[GRA: WHY was it taken? We never hear the truth about these black yutes shot “innocently" or “mistakenly." blacks can't admit their keeds are in gangs--at least not to the press.]

“the hearing is set for 2 p.m. tuesday during the regular city commission meeting. a vote is expected on monday.”

GRA: I always have questions: Why was this negro yute shot dead? The TRUTH! Tell me he had zero connection to a gang--in any way, shape, or form--and I still say no to a “rename,” because I won't believe it. They'll approve the request, I'm sure.

UPDATE:SOMETHING'S UP--AT TUESDAY'S CITY COMMISSION MEETING,bLACK RESIDENTS UNANIMOUSLY CAME OUT AGAINST THEIR STREET BEING RENAMED;

(fox17)GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A number of Grand Rapids residents who live on Umatilla Street say the city should not name it after Amillier Penn, a teenager fatally shot on the stretch of road more than a year ago.


On Tuesday, the Grand Rapids City Commission held a public hearing on the commemorative designation, which would not change the mailing addresses of those living on Umatilla Street between Madison and Union Avenues, but rather be marked by a differently colored street sign.


"You guys are going to open up a can of worms you can’t close," said one resident. "If you keep naming different streets after kids who pass, that is not fair to start if you’re not going to finish."

"We don’t need a sign to validate violence," said another, adding her mother is the "oldest resident" on Umatilla. "You name the crime, we’ve seen it. We don’t want to remember that.”

On June 2, 2024, Amellier Penn was fatally shot in the southeast Grand Rapids neighborhood, though the murder case went without an arrest for nearly a year. In May of 2025, Grand Rapids police charged 17-year-old Cartiyae Pascal in the incident, arraigning him as an adult. Notably, the department received a number of tips about the shooting after its investigation was featured in an episode of All Access PD: Grand Rapids.

GRA:My theory:The neighbors know Penn was not an "innocent".

Putting the Cartiyae before the hearse. Besides, The Natives say "Dat be racissssss!" and demand a land acknowledgment instead.

I say just get it over with and rename every street after MLKjr. Every street.
