Philly man shot and killed while holding his one year old baby, 2 gun man fired 25 bullets at him

Man this is crazy assss theee fuckkkk



Let my dude Charleston White would say

“Them lil fuckers want to big and bad, send them over there to Ukraine. Let them go fight them fucking Russians, see if they bitches gonna be gangster then. Send their asses straight to the front line, face to face with them non-speaking fuckers. Lensky(I’m sure he would not say Zelensky correctly) needs all the help he can get. He’s calling over here begging for money every other month. When Kammy Harris gets elected(every time he calls), she send 3000 of her toughest baddest 20yr killer inmates…
That lil Morant gangster in the NBA, he gone too. He made it getting paid millions and wants to be gangster, yup gooo bitch…
 
This is sad man.

Young men and women in the hood have nothing to live for. There was a time where young folks didn't want to get into any sort of trouble for fear of missing out on education or economic opportunity.

Why should Pookie act right in school, no one in his circle of friends and family are doing well. The ones that are leave and never look back. The hustle game pays because that's all that is available in the hood. As we all know the hustle game is deadly.

We can talk gun violence and morals but if a young man doesn't have a pathway to economic freedom he will make a way for himself at the expense of the community where he lives.

Let's face it, once born into poverty it's very difficult to escape. Its the poverty that leads to violence. No matter where you go on this planet if there is poverty and little to no economic opportunity, there will be violence.
 
As a kid who grew up in North Philly during the heart of the crack era in the 80's and 90's. (I graduated high school 1990)

Even back then, there were after school programs, free lunch programs. Recreational centers lead by elders in the community who were paid by the city to run them. These elders were well respected and the young folks looked up to them. We knew if we got out of line Mr. Jenkins was going straight to Mom's and Pop's and giving up the tea. That lead to punishment and learning how to correct ones self so as to not be a menace to society. That's what discipline is supposed to do, help you learn to correct your own behavior so you do not get yourself into some serious trouble.

One summer I attended prime reading program at Drexel University at 31st and Chestnut street, I was in middle school at the time. Prime reading program was instrumental in my education. Guess what, that program no longer exists. Other programs like it are no more.

When I go back to my old hood, those recreation centers along 22nd street are closed up, repurposed or were demolished. Sadly nothing else of use to the community has replaced them.

North Philly family remember the playground at 22nd and Lippincott, summer basketball tournaments were LIT! Streets were packed and different local leagues played to see who was the best. For the New York cats, this was our Rucker Park. When I visit the courts in North Philly some are still there but are empty shells of their former glory. Most of the rims don't even have nets and are in need of paint. There are countless other examples of socioeconomic neglect in the hood which leads to young people falling prey to the system.

If a young man cannot earn a decent wage to support himself or his family and the institutions that help achieve success are removed what's left is death and destruction.

Just look at the thread about the black owned Chinese restaurant in Philly, young buls so wild you have to plan and come up with a strategy to visit. Because at any point in time any one of us can become a victim to the impoverished environment.

Please understand I'm not making excuses for those who murder or think it's okay to shoot a man while holding a baby. I'm saying these problems exist because the structures and institutions that were in place to support success are gone.

Philly has always been dangerous from what I've been told by my older brother that it's one of those places where you need to have a reason and know someone there to even be there;He has friends there,that he referes to as just the "Old Men" but their not to be played with.

RIP to the youngin,escape,move while you can and try not to end up a victim.

Yeah, but when you've been somewhere so long, you become too comfortable to stay there.

I know my way around philly better than any city that I ever visit.

Yes, philly has parts that are dangerous which I try to school folks on where they should and shouldn't go for their safety.

So true!!!

Same streets I use to walk as a child at night, I second guess my need to be there as a grown man going out on these same streets during the day.

Cats are hungry out there and if you even look like you got something more than them, you will be the next target.

Yup, it's sad.
 
I've lived in three different states at length and traveled a lot.

Over my entire life time, I can add up the amount of violet things I've seen. Even if I added all those encounters up, from all the areas outside of Philly none can compare to the shit I witnessed growing up in Philly.

The one and only time I ever got robbed was in North Philly when some cats ran up on me and stuck a gun in my face. This was 8am in the morning on a bright summer day. Folks all around but seeing the gun made everyone get quiet. All I could do was raise my hands and let them take whatever I had of value.
 
So, should they have waited until he dropped the kid of to murder him?
Typically, street code says you only go after those who are in the game.

Assuming the victim was in the game, they should have waited till he was alone.

Disregard for the baby shows they wanted him dead at his most vulnerable and weakest moment.

My boys' son just left for the Navy about a month ago. This is the best thing that could have happened to him coming to get away from these streets.

He's going to come back home the same way as I did and realized there's nothing here and people you used to hang with ain't doing shit but working minimum wage jobs, if they're working at all.
 
This is why politicians love to TALK about gun violence.

Talking about guns and deaths do nothing to address the underlining issues that create gun violence which is poverty, lack of resources, and no upward mobility.

Sure there are bad apples who will resort to guns and kill. That group is a very small minority.

What about those who do it simply because that is the nature of their environment and if given a chance would rather be productive.

Sounds like what happened to me walking to the Temple main campus mid fall morning, around 10-1030. Broad daylight, they ran across broad st and as soon as they hit the curb had the gun to my head. Took my last $13 that was supposed to last me until Monday. (This was Friday)

When was this street code enacted because shit like this was happening in the 70's 80's and 90's

That's what crazy about Temple buying all that cheap property and land in that part of North Philly when its surrounded by nothing but poverty.

College students are easy targets, factor in white college students and it's why they stay getting robbed.

So many wolves all around temple just itching for a chance to get something from those who have it.

North Philly family remember the playground at 22nd and Lippincott, summer basketball tournaments were LIT! Streets were packed and different local leagues played to see who was the best. For the New York cats, this was our Rucker Park. When I visit the courts in North Philly some are still there but are empty shells of their former glory. Most of the rims don't even have nets and are in need of paint. There are countless other examples of socioeconomic neglect in the hood which leads to young people falling prey to the system.

If a young man cannot earn a decent wage to support himself or his family and the institutions that help achieve success are removed what's left is death and destruction.

Just look at the thread about the black owned Chinese restaurant in Philly, young buls so wild you have to plan and come up with a strategy to visit. Because at any point in time any one of us can become a victim to the impoverished environment.

Your first person narrative is a testament to the breakdown of many Black families and the social structure in many hoods. Throw in the failing public schools which "socially promote" -- to the next grade -- many functionally illiterate students who eventually graduate -- but are crippled educationally. Many HS grads in many urban areas are basically unemployable except for "menial grunt McJobs!" But the "streets are always hiring & pay better!" However --many young Blacks succeed in the hood despite the daunting odds and go on to success. Many who leave would come back to their old hoods to help improve things but there are few opportunities available to come back to.
