Why invite a POS gang member to your homecoming party?
Because in a neighborhood like that, almost everyone you know is involved. Clearly this kid tried to get out. I’m really feeling that phrase “You can’t go home again.”
Who knows who invited the shooter? Maybe he wasn’t even invited, but simply crashed it, or came with other friends who has been invited.
Try expressing some sympathy for the brave young soldier who now lies in the hospital. It’s the season for compassion.
