Stupid little hoodlums. Options

Some dumbass kids who got a hold of guns are shooting up my block and the park down the street. I hate that shit. Sad thing is I used to be one of them. It's so pathetic how kids think it's so cool that their blocks get shot up, like it makes them ghetto, and therefore cool in their equally pathetic peers eyes.

Any shit about your neighborhood/city you don't like ? I hate how mines going downhill. You could walk your dog at 2 at night and shit would barely be happening. Now you got crackheads and rapists out around the corner,gangs fighting and shooting either, prostitutes working the corner and people having sex in their cars on the sidewalk.

Why are you judging her? Some people DO do it to be cool. People are out their tryna impress somebody. They want to establish "street cred" so people won't mess with them. That's how gangs started in the first place.

I used to live in the kind of area you describe, Bella. College Park. It's even gotten WORSE after I left. The worst thing is the cops are corrupt too so if anything gets reported (IF) it gets reported, they don't do anything about it. It's all about who you know. People would die on my block all the time and it would be just like that. Walk out to your damn mailbox, and hear gunshots. Driveby's, stick-up's--I was living on edge, afraid to even go to the freakin grocery store. So me and my family moved out, but my brother still lives there and I worry about him.

How im i judging her lol she says that herself. But people do it to get respect. Gangs didnt start because of street cred or because of people tryna be cool. If you wanna see how gangs started and why, watch gangs of new york lol true story. And gangs dont start outta people tryna be cool. look at the crips. They started so they would have people watching eachothers back, from others and the cops, and to restore the ghetto. You think tookie was tyna to be "cool" when he started the crips. ask any gangmember, or orginal gangster, why they started a gang or joined one, there answere isnt gonna be cuz it was cool. and ill quote this off freedom writers Diary AND an interview, gangs fight beacause "of money, power, and respect". not to be cool.
