Why?

I'm from Baltimore as well. I haven't actually seen anyone die in front of me but I have seen shooting. Baltimore is one of the toughest cities in the world. I'm sorry to hear what happened to your friend. Keep the faith though because there are a lot of good people from Baltimore as well.

yeah i'm from southern md, and i hear people say how bad dc is and all this. but dc people need to take a ride up there and then they see what's all about for real. i used to come to balitmore a few times a week, never had any trouble.i dont have too much trouble with any place i go too. but yeah people be tripping out all over. killing people for no reasons at all. the lack of respect for human life just bites these days. if people would have more respect for others and just get along.. i laugh at these dudes down here think they know what being a thug is,, i just tell them go to balitmore and play that stuff up there, you'll see and i doublt your want to be thug a$$ will be back. lol

Wow, that is crazy. I'm sorry to hear you are from such a tough area and had to experience such bad things. Such stuff is indeed very senseless. I suppose people do such things to make themselves feel better. We all have some sort of animal instinct in us. Some are just not good at controlling it. I hope you now live in a better and much safer area. But you can do something about this senselessness, too. You can show people to make better decisions for themselves. You could for example give speeches in schools telling the kids about your experiences and how senseless the violence is some of them seem to adore so very much. Well, just thinking..
