See this goes back to the unemployment issues we are having throught the city. This young man shouldve been somewhere on the job during these hours instead of roaming the streets of watts. I understand that LEE's have an excelent 5 wing special and like to hit them up myself on various occasions, however when im leaving that area i head West to Wilmington then proceed to the 105. Oh well R.I.P to the homie reguardless, its a whole lot of Fakeness going on in that area so i tend to stay away as much as possible...SMH
