			Real gangsters don't go out looking for trouble and starting shit. It's usually those Jersey Shore looking, lobster tanned fucks at clubs that do.

It would be the equivillent of going drinking every night and having a drunk driver drive you home.  Eventually, the odds of an accident will catch up to you.   
If she just met these guys and was shot and become a quad, then yeah she didn't deserve it.   |       I don't know how you can say she deserved it unless you knew her personally.  I don't, so I could never make that statement.    
Maybe she just happened to bump into them? Perhaps she is on friendly terms with them, along the lines of how RRxtar is.  Would you say RRxtar deserved to be shot and paralyzed because he happened to be in the same area as them? So she was in a car, and RRxtar was at a party with them, the setting does not matter.  Someone got shot, they're paralyzed now.  That's sad.

Berz out.   |       Just like everyone else?  I guess that's true if you don't count having no moral compass.    
In order to finance their lavish lifestyle, they have no qualms about bringing misery to others.  The irony is that they feel that they have to enforce their own heightened sense of justice against others at any perceived slight.

People keep talking shit saying she deserved it or whatever just for chillin with them... well what the fuck do you know?  
What if she was just hanging out with her Uncle? Maybe before they went out they promised her no gangster stuff, it was a night out to have some fun.  
No matter what she didn't deserve to get shot. If she had the hit on her... only then would I start to explore the possibility whether she deserved it or not.

			for someone to say that people deserve any harm for them being associated with gangsters or whatever is ridiculous. At the same time if they want to chill with people like that then these are the kinds of things that can happen and I feel no remorse or pity for them.

			This is just me speculating, but maybe she didn't know what Bacon looked like?  I mean, he's not instantly recognizable to everyone like Tom Cruise or Nicholas Cage is.

Bacon had a 1mill hit on his head and someone was brought from out of country to take care of the business from what I have been hearing.

			HA, IS, RS, UN... the whole thing is one big clusterfuck.  especially if you read a few different sources.  hell, even if you use one source theres so much going on, i dont think anyone really knows whos friends with who and enemies with who.   
from just what ive head about the people in this shooting, the old RS leadership was tight with the UN.  the Bacons and new RS work with/for the HA.  Larry Amero and certain HA members have been working with the UN and for the IS at different times..   
someone write a book.  i want to read it.

		 |       When people are deep into the game like these guys they know 1000 times more than what is discussed in the news. They know who is who and no doubt those girls knew who they were too.

Berz out.   |       Yeah man, I see what you're saying, but years ago I had this friend of mine that I played soccer with, super cool guy, funny, chill, etc, that started getting involved with drugs and weapons sales. So I just stopped hanging out with him, in fear for what would happen if someone that had beef with him or whatever decided to settle a score while I was near him.  
Saved my life, because a couple of years later him and another guy I knew were killed in front of his house. More than 60 .762 shots (i think, it's been nearly ten years) were fired at him and his friend. No warning, no chance. Just boom, dead. Could have been me, had I not distanced myself.  
Or maybe I'm a pussy. I've seen people that I know be killed, it's not pretty.

			choices and consequences.  besides the already-mentioned consequences of getting hit when your gangster friends are targeted, there are other (less fatal but still noteworthy) ramifications of associating with such people.   
one of which is if your job demands a police record check.  depending on the job you intend to get, record checks can get pretty in-depth.  a few too many noted associations on file with people "known to police" and your potential career is out the window.     
eg: you're riding in your buddy's car and he's a gang member.  police pull the car over on a traffic stop.  a search of the car turns up a small amount of pot and a loaded 9mm.  GG.  that police file is not going to go away.  it'll follow you everywhere and every time you do a police record check.  and there's not much you can do about it either.

They can assume most people won't mess with them. You don't really hear people warn their friend, "Don't start any trouble with these guys, they're refrigerator repairmen!"
