When these young men are asked "where are you from?" Are they responding with a rival gang answer to be shot & killed like this? Or does silence warrants a cowardly slaying aswell?

Jesus is Lord, no matter how you answer, you're going to be shot.
The people doing the shooting should be viewed as sociopaths. Violent predatory sociopaths. The sooner society takes them out of civilization, the better everyone will be.
But untill the people of the Latino and Black are ready to make hard choices, then nothing is going to happen.

It's true what ICE CUBE said "Gangta's make the world go round", reality of it all in the hood if you dont have a hood you don't belong in the hood. This is a new genration of gangsters, young men and sadly young women tend to be gang members not to belong but because they don't know any better. We have a war her in our backyard, this is where we need to have some focus not 30,000 miles away!
