    well the news said he was on his way home...

    if driving by a bad part of town is necessary for a kid to get home, then shame on him right?

    He just got back from California from summer, he was seeing friends he hadn't seen in months...

    Its ashame man. From the sounds of it, he wasn't really involved. It was the driver who the shooter had a beef with. I just hate to hear about crap like this. Its sad. It sounds like this was a class kid and it happens the day before mothers day. He had a strong bond with his mother. Its freaking sad.

    Actually I was thinkin' even further back than that... The C-Murder and/or Master-P stuff with his studio in BR or something, and then a couple years ago they had that bad shooting at some night club and it seems that there are always shootings happening recently.

    This reminds me of the Kwame Doster situation. If you recall he was the Vanderbilt running back who was shot to death over something very stupid. His friends got into an argument with some other guys over a car and Doster was shot and killed. It just doesn't make any sense why they always have to pull a gun over such trivial things.

    well the suspect is in custody, so i wonder if 24 hours later, he still thinks it was worth it to pull the trigger, now that he is facing life or maybe even death

    Last shooting up here, in WM, was when some idiot pulled a knife on a few cops and the cops took turns shooting him.

    No. Francis was a passenger in a car. Some guy in another car recognized the driver as someone he had an altercation with earlier in the week. So he pulled out a gun and started blasting. Absolutely senseless.
