“It’s a celebration here, today. It’s for all the people. There’s no violence and everybody gets to watch fireworks with their families. The kids can come to a neighborhood where you don’t have to worry about nobody jumping on you and no arguments. We’re barbecuing, eating good, and everybody’s saying hi. Plus, we’re all black and we’re family.” - Comedian Bean (Left), Russell

"Stop the violence, man. I’m praying for the night. I hope everybody’s safe and there’s no killings. It’s a nice day. Everybody’s feeling good and looking nice. Everything’s all love.” - Putt (Right), Russell - Thunder 2018 at Beecher Terrace
