Growing up, I lived right up the block from some jects, and they had another set of jects right across the street from them. Those 2 projects stayed in beef so I've seen my fair share of beat downs, stabbings, and shootouts.
One kid I knew from the projects up the block from me, he was like 4-5 years younger than me, but he was known for lettin his gun go... Well one night when I was like 21, I was around the way, and I guess him and 2 other dudes hopped in a cab, and planned to rob it once they got around the way. So I hear a gunshot, then see the cab swerve on to the sidewalk and hit a light pole, then see the 3 dudes run out of the cab, the kid with the gun in hand. Cab driver died instantly.
That same kid ended up getting killed like 4 blocks away from that scene by some dude I went to high school with that was a year older than me, I didn't see that happen though.
On the same block as the cab killing a year or 2 before that, I saw the aftermath of another shooting in front of the liquor store, dude was laying there pretty much dying in a pool of blood, with some of his brain exposed.
Last year in front of that same liquor store, I was up the block and heard a loud ass argument, then saw a bum running toward my direction and right past with a bloody T-shirt...the bum stabbed another bum over 50 cents and left the knife sticking out of his chest. He ended up dying at the hospital.
I could post stories of the type of shyt I've seen all day.
