Thugs crack me up acting so hard, but do the most cowardly acts with firearms. Drive by's, shooting into random crowds. This was I'm sure drug related or chicken head related.

This incident saddens my heart. It's terrible that a neighborhood with a predominantly black population would behave in this manner. Black people should not continue exhibit "typical black behavior". The issue begins with the neighborhood being occupied by mostly renters and there are very few owner occupied homes.
