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.

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

It sure ain't Las Olas Blvd

Or Victoria Park.

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.

55 years ago when I was a freshman in Yokohama, our Asst. Principal, Mr. Lacey, came to a class one day to discuss aspects of being black, which he was, in 1960s America. One of the aspects was that, particularly in the cities, how your home was wasn't nearly as important as how your car was. Back then the "cool car" was a Buick 225 "deuce and a quarter" but 45 years later, a black friend of my stepson had a 1972 Buick Century he was working on renovating, he wanted to drive like his granddad had.

Like competing troops of baboons clashing.

“your home was wasn’t nearly as important as how your car was”

And that hasn’t changed much as far as I can see......which leads me to wonder what else in the black culture is misguided?......that’s pretty much a rhetorical question BTW. 😏
