Is not Fickett and Fairmount in K.A.M 13s neighborhood? This area is located within an injunction zone. Any other details?

The neighborhood doesn't belong to thiefs and murderers. That is why they will always fail in their rebellion. To glorify a title smeared with innocent blood is to be guilty of the crime. A boy has been killed, a family is now struggling, a generation has now been turned around with focus on revenge and a thirst for blood. Somewhere it is written that those who kill others will be killed by others, that is the law, that is what will take place. Justice will prevail as it has since the beggining and nothing can change that.

I cant help but laugh at these barbarians. That's exactly what they are. Not sociopaths. Not psychopaths. But barbarians.
Too bad they cant be forced to clear landmines in Afghanistan. Then we will see how brave they are.
And my fiercest critics wonder why I write my posts in the first place. Here's the reason!
Sept. 10, 2012 at 7:33 p.m.
Are you that one lame that lives on cinncinnati st and that always has to get escorted out your house by your parents ? Fool , get on our level first before wolfing stater brother !! Stop claiming something you dont own , everybody knoes we the strongest even with the injunction !

Hey State Street Boys or what ever you call yourself come down to Avenues Drew Street so we can teach you how to be real men because it's sounds like your all a punch of Levas come run you mouth down here.
Sept. 11, 2012 at 5:08 p.m.
— Boxer .... real men dont partake in the violence filled world you seem to like.
Real men improve their lot in life and get out of the insanity that you think is a normal way of living.
And real men get to sit on juries and judge you. And then laugh at you when you're taken away to prison.

Everyone knows Stater Brother employees are a bunch of punks who never put in work instead you fools kill your own homies that's not smashing. Your hood is known to be a bunch of snitches, instead of handling your own you Levas call the cops to put in the work you should be doing. Your hood is known to have a bunch of drug addicted crack heads that's why you never leave your block. Come run your mouth down here we have a good dental plan for Stater Brother employees.

I am still laughing at these barbarians who are engaging in a war over neighborhoods no one cares about.
Its simply amazing. I was going to say it is like "Animal Planet". But then I realized that animals have more common sense than these people do.
