The random shootings are a real tragedy. Otherwise it’s just smart to stay away from those areas. Not much good happens after 10PM.
Are they really random? Or is it because Snooky the drug dealer and his crew are spotted at a party by a cousin of Phat Dog, a rival drug dealer and calls him on his obama phone. Phat dog and his homies then jump into their hoopties and head on out to the party with the intent of taking out the competition.
After the shooting is over, all you read about in the paper is that there was a random shooting at a party, because no one will talk to the po po, because "Snitches Get Stitches".
