Police say six men and one woman between 18 and 32 years old were rushed to area hospitals in stable condition, most with wounds to their arms and legs.

One victim was shot multiple times, according to police. For a time it was believed the shooting victim count had been at eight.

According to police, two men fired into a large crowd where between 200 and 300 people gathered for a basketball game and a party in the area.

Been napping for years, as said in the brief autobiography of a W. Smith, future prince of Bel-Air.

“In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days.
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school.
When a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air”

Had a LEO tell me, a lot of the time they don’t shoot to kill they shoot to maim.
Less police heat if no one dies, and the victim has a lifelong disability of varying seriousness.
Pretty sick if you ask me.

It's all fun and games until 7 homies are gunned down.

I figure every time one of them is killed, it saves taxpayers $500K to one million dollars because it eliminates all the crime, the victims, all the incarcerations,

Yes, but how many survivors will need $$$ lifetime medical and support?

Here seven are injured and none killed?

And how often do the victims live in the hospital for a long period before succumbing? $$$+++

Its good Bubba wasn't shooting into the crowd as seven would be the lowest number possible with the high number of possible targets. This kind of shooting makes one wonder the intelligence of them when they advocate a war with others; not only can the most of them show an inability to properly use a firearm, they represent a small percentage of the population outside of their ghettos.

The anti-s argue that it’s the strongest justification for more “common sense gun laws.”

You get out of any urban area of any state and things are generally better and more conservative. The future make-up of America will/is urban/rural. I picked rural a long time ago. There’s a little piece of mind when you can see cars coming for miles.

Shot what? Hoops? 3-pointers? Lay-ups? Free throws? Swishes?

Really. It’s gotta be hard to carry your Glock 40 in your gym short’s waistband while running up and down the court and making jumpshots.

A neighborhood requires actual neighbors.

These people merely cohabitate the same region.

IIRC that was the strategy of the Vietcong. Wound our guys knowing it’d tie up at least two soldiers and a bunch of support.
