Yeah, well getting into fights in Compton isn't conducive to a long life.
Already have the guy in custody who did it...

Personally I have to wonder what she was doing in that area with an ex con, after midnight...because the way the whole thing went down suggests she and the guy with her were trying to score some drugs to me. If that's the case I really find it hard to feel sorry for her.
Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and she wasn't a dope fiend, just really dumb.

There is still no reason to take another persons life like that. Doesn't matter the reasoning she was there in the first place.

No reason for it, but it happens every day..if she didn't realize she may be putting herself in danger by going into one of the most notorious neighborhoods for gang/drug violence after midnight with someone that had a shady past...at age 31, after growing up nearby..
That's her own fault.
I wouldn't feel sorry for someone if they got hit by a car after playing in traffic either.

I can tell you first hand Compton is one of the most fucked up places in SoCal.
I was there watching a street race, when shit all went wrong and guns were drawn all over, over like 20 fucking dollars.
Last time I ever ventured near that place.
There is still no reason to take another persons life like that.
You go tell that to the thousands of gang members there. I'll tell LAPD to start combing the lake beds for your carcass.

Marz you are aware your sig exceeds the limits as stated in the rules. I believe that purposly breaking board rules again and again could result in a warning, however I am sure a mod can shine more light on that.

Damn I know this is fucker up, but I have to say it...
The suspect was identified as Aaron Michael Hammer
Any relation to MC Hammer? Perhaps his older brother. I'm guessing they were at a party for loser siblings of famous people and then Venus Williams' sister chugged a 40oz of Mickey's faster than MC Hammer's brother so he shot her. Jaime Lyn Spears, we'll see you in the news soon too getting gangbanged by unknown Baldwin brothers.
Yes, I know I'm going to hell for typing this shit, but you know some other sick fuck on this board was thinking the same thing.

Ok since you as a mod do not mind Marz to break the sig rules I see no reason why anyone should follow that rule as stated.
Thanks for making my point ....

Hammer's actual name was Stanley Kirk Burrell.
No, I'm not lame enough to actually know that. I just remembered that his name wasn't really Hammer and looked it up.

Amen.
No matter how many times it happens a day, how many gang members there are and how totally normal it is. Its a murder. Its a tragedy, its fucked up! Maybe I am sick for actually thinking that any murder, no matter where and how, is wrong.

Murder is wrong? You are so PROFOUND!
If you were familiar with that particular community, our reactions would make more sense.

So in your particular community murder is ok?
Alright.

That's not what they are saying Taino. Murder is not "OK", but if you walk into a viper's nest knowing it is there, you should not be surprised when you are bit.
This is an area where gangs fight over the illegal drug distribution network daily. There is nothing condoned about it and it is not "OK" that they regularly kill each other over the right to sell cocaine on a particular street. But it is a fact of life there until such time as our country can curb it's appetite for narcotics.
Having grown up there and intimately known the environment, she knew what risk she was taking meeting with people of that ilk late at night. It is tragic that her lapse of judgment cost her life but she bears some of the responsibility herself for putting herself in danger. That is what people are saying.

Alright.Why yes! American's love murder!
Stop baiting. We're tired of it.
How about I just copy every obituary posted near me, and you make a thead about how uncaring we are?

/sigh
Im getting sick of this America-baiting too, and Im not one to normally give a fuck about it. This is actually the first time I think I've ever posted in this forum.
Mates, she was out past FUCKING MIDNIGHT in, probably one of the top five most dangerous areas in the NATION, with an ex-con.
I imagine everyone on this board would give the same response if a tourist got shot for wearing a "FUCK ISLAM" T-shirt in the middle of Palestine, Mecca, or even Indonesia.
She died because she made some fool-ass choices. Sure, I'm sorry for her, and I don't want anyone (except that FUCKSTICK WHO CUT ME OFF ON I-85 MAY HE BE KILLED BY A THOUSAND FALLING MARBLES) to die. But, if you go into Compton past midnight with an ex-con? Thats a stupid-ass choice.
