This guy has 7 preteen children to carry on for him.

BTW, somehow this is whiteys fault

[NEMDF]

These “drive by” type crimes seem to often be related to gang activities/gang retaliations. Their biggest challenge will be to try to keep the 7 preteen children from going down the same road.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am educated guessing this is more black-on-black violence/murder. If the attackers had been white, we’d know and sharpton would be bussing in rioters to loot and destroy all nearby local businesses.

[Sasparilla]

Its getting to be a cliche, but has Reverend Al been consulted on this?

[TADSLOS]

Whitey God’s Fault.

Michael “Puff” Meyers

Puff?

[Vendome]

Maybe “Puff” wasn’t such a good nickname after all.

[MeshugeMikey]

this description holds some clues as to the mental processes of these people

“My little nephew said he ducked; that’s why a bullet went over his head,”

what can I say

[Boogieman]

“These “drive by” type crimes seem to often be related to gang activities/gang retaliations.”

Yeah, of course. Nobody has ever randomly decided to shoot up my house. They were at that house aiming for somebody, maybe not the one that got shot, but they had “beef” with someone who lived there.

Also, gangs seem to be better than police when it comes to making sure they have the right address.

I know exactly where this is, because many years ago I lived one street over and five blocks down, just across Carrollton and the streetcar tracks.

Cue the Amish Violins.

[Veggie Todd]

Jesse and Al are on the way!

[Veggie Todd]

It was God saying it was his time.

So God is now using gangbangers to do His work? I don't think so....

[ozzymandus]

Is this what our new Surgeon General means when he calls guns a “public health issue”? Seems like a crime issue to me. The guns didn’t go out and shoot anybody.

[camle]

where are all the ‘black lives matter’ people?

crickets

[Bon mots]

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Regardless, it is a sad tragedy.

[ClearCase_guy]

And POOF! just like that, Puff was gone.

[SaraJohnson]

Such trauma for those children. They grow up in a whole different world than my children grew up in. It’s time to do a crack down on gangs with LOOOOOONG sentences. It’s time to let the thug sub-culture die with the gang members in prison for life.

[BBell]

We actually do have long sentences in La. That it why we have the highest incarceration rate per capita in the Country.
