I think you have to assume that he has enemies.

I don't know what his gang status is. There was a guy with gang tattoo's watching the whole thing from afar an hour or so after the shooting. He had flashy jewelry on and expensive glasses. He was a White guy. Don't know if he was watching the kid to see if he was all right or seeing if the kid was dead. You don't hear much about White gangs in this town except the older motorcycle clubs. Hell if I really know.

The kid was talking to the police, which is something you wouldn't expect a gang member to do.

The violence doesn't really touch me or many other law abiding Whites, it's not something that really worries me. There are a few muggings but that's about it.

That's crazy and intense. I guess the scared woman from your post didn't know all this stuff.

If she lives here she should be aware of the fact that there are quite a few shootings in the neighborhood and there is no way she didn't see the 10 or so cruisers or the blocked off street. That lady was a hysterical ninny.

Ohh I didn't notice the fact that she was from the area. Yeah, if you are going to get all panicky when something bad has just gone down and you should know better, then you're being irresponsible.
