Were people in that “crowd” rival gang members?
Gang A disses Gang B; Gang B replies with a drive-by. NRN. (Not Really News)
Never watched that show, but the premise is probably off...by the time they reach their teens the kids are usually ruined for relocation to civilized locations. So it spreads the cancer.
I thought the old Democrat program of “Throw ‘em a Basketball (based on an old racist joke it seems) from a decade or so ago was supposed to civilize this Democrat demographic. Could I possibly be wrong?
As if the Monkeybars weren’t dangerous enough.
“This wasnt an unarmed woman being mugged by thugs. This was a feral picnic being targeted by other ferals.”
Urban renewal!!
city of brotherly love??
Thug turf war, I’d bet. Black-on-black violence, which the media ignores, because they secretly despise blacks.
Of course not. The media plays down black-on-black violence, because they’re racists.
There are about five of these so called ‘mass shootings’ per day. Black and latino gangs commit 90% of them...
I remember when UD was the largest HS in America and 100% white and Dougherty was the largest Catholic HS in America. Sadly the Crusaders are long gone now.
