It's sad, downtown Orlando on Saturday has a lot of hoes on that strip, and in every variety you want it's practically a kept secret. Any kind of chick you can think of be packed out there when it's live. They surrounded by women but stuck on one, must be a syndrome
These types are not shooting over women
Gen z crashouts could careless bout hoes

A lake near Tampa FL
Anyone walking around with a backpack in big crowded areas is always a suspect. Been that way since block parties 25 years ago.
Lol I used to do this when I lived in NYC :mjlol:



I used my backpack to carry my reusable water bottle, ketchup packets (yeah yeah I know :flabbynsick:) bluetooth headphones and other random stuff :heh:


I had no idea ppl found it suspect :pachaha:

@Pull Up the Roots were you offended by this for some reason? Or let me guess; you actually think "poverty" was the cause of this shooting?
Express your anger over these tragedies happening, lament the loss of innocent life, call for sever punishment against the perpetrator, but stop rushing into these thread to mock something real. Mocking the idea that social conditions can influence behavior is ignorant. I'm not saying that's the cause here, no onr is. However, dismissing poverty's impact on real people's lives overlooks a very real phenomenon that affects communities and contributes to cycles of hardship and violence. We can discuss the specific choices someone made without downplaying the broader realities that millions of people face every day.


No. Internet nikkas say stuff like this cause it makes them feel better in front of white folks… Anytime you open fire in a crowd of people with a modified semi automatic weapon, you don’t care who or what you hit….. if a motherfukka got pissy drunk and got behind the wheel of a car and killed someone, yall wouldn’t dare say he accidentally killed someone, yall would title him a murderer and rightfully so.

I didn’t say anything about legal codes or charges…. I said that the drunk driver would be called a murderer…. and it’s irrelevant if a shooter targets random people indirectly or directly, because if you open fire in a crowd, common sense tells you that there will be collateral damage…. But since these young nikkas so impulsive, common sense goes out the window.
He's right. And you are ignoring what is being said. Labeling every incident of gunfire in a crowd as a "mass shooting" ignores critical distinctions that matter to both public policy and how we understand the real threats in our communities. The broad label pushed by the GVA, which the media adopted, attempts to wrap all gun violence into a single term, which effectively conflates highly different situations. This approach doesn't "make anyone feel better in front of white folks," that is a simple-minded claim, it simply acknowledges the reality that the contexts and motivations behind these shooting differs significantly.

For example, if someone recklessly opens fire in a crowd, of course it's recklessness, negligent, and a total disregard for life. But that's different from someone taking the time to plan out and map out a indiscriminate attack in a public setting. Blurring those lines obscures the strategies we need to address specific types of gun violence.

And like @Brolic said above, the legal system recognizes different types of harm based on intent and circumstance. A drunk driver might face manslaughter charges rather than murder because while reckless, it wasn't premeditated. Similarly, gang-related or domestic shootings, often included in these GVA "mass shooting" counts, generally stem from specific motives and circumstances that differ from indiscriminate mass public shootings, which are typically planned attacks on strangers.

Understanding these distinctions isn't about "making Black people feel better in front of white people." It's about understanding the complexity of gun violence and how we find real solutions for each problem, rather than throwing them all together in a way that does little to address the root causes.

There is no way you grew up around black people or in a black community. It becomes more and more evident daily.

I'm "mocking" those on this forum that swear ecery SHOOTING is because of poverty. Meanwhile, every human on earth makes their own choices.

REAL QUESTION...how many shootings occur in trailer parks and other destitute communities? (WHAT RATE?). I'll wait...

Posts like this just expose your unconscious anti-Blackness. I grew up in Detroit. I've lived here all my life. I went to public school here. I only live around other working-class Black people.
