It's actually not that far fetched; i remember back in high school someone kept doing lawns jobs at our house (corner lot) so layed out a board with nails in it on a weekend and sure enough this pickup came by to do their thing (i was actually looking out the window at the time) their tires popped they almost hit a pole and continued on but there was no way they would get far
stupidly, someone drove up and smashed their windows and these guys came back with about 20 people looking for "revenge"? (the fuck) they were drunk, high, and stupid
so something bad could have happened, neighbour called the police and the issue ended right there if it had been 2012/2013 i imagine those guys could have come back yet again for revenge
was it my fault? i guess you could say so since i escalated it but am i a scumbag or gangbanger type that "deserves" to die? fuck no
hell there are far better examples where the victim literally didn't deserve any form of violence/repercussions whatsoever but it happens to them and its far more frequent than you seem to think
Looks like we need some tighter sword control laws!
It's not about the law, is about the people. Guns don't kill people, it's the people who use the guns. Same goes with swords..

You know what`s even more sad than the 19 year old kid who is dead?
People talking like it aint a big deal that they had a gun pointed at them, or how they will stand by their homies till the end mentality despite knowing the bad shit they do.
Life is about choices. The choice you make on how you`re gonna live your life and the choice of who you choose to BE IN your life is in the palm of your hands. If you have a chance to change or make another choice in life, why wouldn`t you if you can?
I don`t know the guy who passed so I`m not going to comment on his death except I wish his family and loved ones my deepest sympathy. I can`t even imagine the loss his parents are feeling; 19 is way too young.

lol isn't the idea of sympathy and empathy, that you could have just been as likely been in that scenario as anyone else?
you give sympathy to a retard or a cripple, because of your ability to feel empathy. meaning you realise that could be you.
some people's minds are just too small to imagine how a situation like that could happen to them.
sometimes trouble comes looking for you. or you're at the wrong place at the wrong time.
you don't have to be a bad boy or be in a gang to get your head chopped off. you could get robbed on vacation and get your fuckin head chopped off too. but some of you guys are just too stupid to realise that. you live in your world, where everything you've done is correct, and if you couldn't possibly imagining it happening to you, that means they must have been doing something bad.
incase some of you retards still don't get it, i'll draw it out in crayon.
just because YOU didn't "choose that path" doesn't mean you shouldn't give sympathy to them.
you were born into a different scenario, the events that occured in your life never lead you to a scenario like that, meaning you are LUCKY.
some others are not so lucky. worse yet, they are born into bad situations.
think beyond yourself. that could be your child, your family friend, your cousin, some kid you knew in high school. your buddy from elementary school that chose a different path.
This is part of the problem. You see, you can be entitled to any sort of opinion to your heart's desire. But how you communicate it to others and how it is received is another. Not only that, it doesn't help that you're being an imposing little turd about what you believe in. Nobody appreciates it when you start shoving ideas and beliefs down peoples heads.

and with my comment above i didn't mean your views are currently irrational i meant that your hostility towards others are influenced moreso now by your emotions so others should take it easy

My intentions are not to go against you but to add some perspective. This mentality will hopefully change for your own safety.
The pain/anger/rage/sadness you must be going through will be felt by your own family if you ever got killed sticking it out till the end with your homies.
If you have a friend who you know is a very active 'gangster' and he asks you to come out while you have a 3 year old child at home, would you go out??? Why risk it... As you said, you never go out thinking you will have a gun pointed at you.
Part of growing up is knowing when to distance yourself from stuff like this despite how hard it might be.
I think this was the point other members were trying to make?
Sorry about your loss. I cant even imagine what it would feel like if one of my friends died like this.
Could you attempt to form a legible sentence that could pass as english, please? Or are you talking like that to emphasize the perspective in your story? It would make it easier for us to take you seriously, and for us to understand your feelings in greater detail.
You quote yourself as being different from these "homies" of yours, you tell us that you are trying to complete your education, and yet you say that you would smack the shit out of somebody and risk it all over a comment about somebody that is not with us anymore?
And for the love of god, a firearm is not a "piece" or a "gat", it's a firearm. If you had a firearm pointed at you, that should have been your signal to get as far away as possible from all of this supposed chaos. And whether you like it or not, hanging out with these people is putting you in a dangerous position, which is probably why you were caught with a firearm aimed at your head.
From what I can tell, this particular young man touched bases with a few members here. I don't think anybody here wished death upon him, we are simply trying to analyze what we are getting via news outlets.
