A shooting at an apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Wednesday evening left five victims with injuries, including two juveniles and three adults, police said.

Fort Lauderdale police said the shooting started shortly before 9 p.m. after an argument escalated between two groups of people in the courtyard of the complex, located at Northwest 29th Avenue and 19th Street, WSVN reported.

“At approximately 8:40 p.m. this evening, at this apartment complex … we had a group of people gathered in the courtyard. A second group of people confronted them,” FLPD Chief Patrick Lynn said. “As a result, gunfire ensued.”

The five victims suffered various injuries and were all transported to Broward Health Medical Center.

I am to think its them again?? If it was a white MAGA flag carrying white guy it would be all over the article but it is not.

Let’s just say I think we can rule out whitey.

“I am to think its them again??“

It’s always them.

Having lived in Ft. Lauderdale, “Northwest” means “Them”.

It looks like the “apartment complex” is public housing, or maybe section 8, but I can’t say for sure

[mewzilla]

Looks like it was at Broward Gardens, which is Section 8.

“Northwest 29th Avenue and 19th Street”

A quick check reveals it ain’t exactly Beverly Hills. 😏

[mewzilla]

I just checked. It’s Section 8.

I was more interested in how the neighborhood looked.

Run down area, trash strewn streets. Public housing that looks penal.

Nice cars in the apartment complexes parking lots, though.

Go figure.

Which means Ultra MAGA types

This was clearly a spirited debate over the meaning of a quote by Schopenhauer: "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."

"I can hit yo ass jus fine," was overheard by one of the onlookers
"I can see yo ass, mofo,"came the response.

Naturally, violence was the only resort.

Public sector housing complexes are human ant farms.

I’ve been wondering for a while now if the antisocial behavior displayed by so many occupants is actually a desired outcome.

“Nice cars in the apartment complexes parking lots, though.

A common thing where I am. For instance the black family that used to live next door but got their house repossessed and had to move out (another story) had very little understanding of what it took to own a home but his GMC SUV with aftermarket wheels and a DVD player and her red Infiniti Q40 were always high and tight and clean as a whistle.

A cultural thing I suspect, gotta look good while rollin’.

My observation over the years has been American blacks have a totally different outlook on what’s most important than probably any other race.

They are look at mes’, or peacocks.

Might best have good looking wheels if you going to be living in them!!

Oh yeah.....black folks do seem to love attention don’t they?.....I’ve always presumed it’s a deep seated inferiority complex.

[Vigilanteman]

It is ALWAYS the fault of the gun, who sold them the guns, the governor of Florida or anyone but them.

Amish?

Well, it seems that the culture of “ the community” is based on superficial appearances.
Fake it till you make it I guess.

A flipper eventually bought that house from the bank after they moved out.....a few weeks into his rehab I asked him how it looked inside.....his answer: “I’ve rehabbed many houses and this one is hands down in the absolute worst shape of any”.

I wasn’t exactly surprised.
