they bust guns in seattle?

There's more guns than people so yes.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Swear some of u was born yesterday or something

nikka, they bust guns in small towns with 100 Blacks. What you think a city on a west coast with a large black presence gonna be about

There's more guns than people so yes.

seattle has never struck me as a hotbed of violence. that’s why i was surprised. it’s always been ranked among the nicest cities in the us to live in.

If it's ever God's plan for me to be a father, I'm home-schooling my kids.

I'm not dumb. I scored a 35 on the ACT and was all-honors. Plus I'm tri-lingual.

Does tri-lingual means your gay?

I’m telling you drill music has completely changed the landscape of this city post 2012 era. That one page u shared on Instagram and put us on (deadshot) goes into great details about these clicks and sub clicks, exact copy southside chicago gangs, I mean right down to terminology.

In my 4 years of high in 2000’s, we only had one death and it was a Mexican kid in west Seattle.

Now, these kids are ALL armed and they’re dying at an alarming rate. I’m hearing girls are now even ‘backdooring” victims smh

All part of the plan

 

[get these nets]

Rest in Peace to the young man

Hope that metro area gets the resources to arrest/remove the element that's responsible for the escalation of violence. Will only get worse if they aren't rooted out, and there will only be more victims.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

All part of the plan

Who's plan?

Making shyt like this a conspiracy so we seem helpless to it is a deflection. Like it's so above us and we have no control or responsibility for the situation. It's much harder to change the culture breeding this shyt. Much easier to pretend it's beyond us and someone else doing.

U never heard of the posse that's deep on Broadway? They tried to bust on Kid sensation but his boy baby got get back . .. Rip to the kid. Summer starting so u know what that means .Folks is out now

its weird because it is and it isn't. Like I said, i lived there for a while recently and wore cartiers all day and drove a sports car...never pressed.

But its the convergence of old seattle's blackest neighborhood being gentrified (which, did include me even though I'm black), and them trying to push historic problems and people out or sweep them under the rug...but shyt is still THERE

so you can have a luxury apartment above a grocery store across from a pot shop, coffee shop, bar, and beer garden...but you still got that corner store where people converge and the houses that didn't sell and the people and problems that live in them.

Seattle tried to build over issues and shyt is now at their doorstep.

EDIT: from my 15 years here, i'll defer to those who lived here longer

Yup

Blaming music is a scapegoat

 

[Motife43]

Mannn that’s sad as hell.

Almost rented an apartment right across from Garfield on 23rd when I lived there. Woulda had a short walk to Ezell’s

So much rich black history there in the Central District. The damn performing Arts building at Garfield is named after Quincy Jones, Jimi Hendrix went there. And can’t forget about the basketball legacy (Brandon Roy, 3-4 current NBA players)

 

[Bigblackted4]

whats sad is I've always been pro public school, as you learn those life and social lessons that are important...but my HS in ann arbor is REAL similar to Garfield in terms in age of the school, sports and music culture, etc...idk man...my best friend has a daughter in that same school and they do 'live shooter drills'. Thats where we're at now.

shyts scary as a parent now I fully imagine

My ex went to Greenhills for her first two years how is that school?

Same thing is happening in Canada
On sight shooting
Shooting at random “opp” neighborhood

Greenhills in Ann Arbor? Thats one of the better schools in the state, especially when it comes to college prep and connections. That’s a private school. I went to Pioneer

Gun violence can happen in any city or zip code. Even in the nicest of places.
