Ideally each one should be worth paying attention to, but that's unrealistic in the 24 hour news cycle with everything going on in the world. To keep it honest, other than us Americans largely don't care about black youth killing each other unless it fits an agenda such as police overtime, prisons, crime bills, etc.. That said, now the media is covering these stories and forcing the issue, and I have to ask why now? Why all of a sudden? I have a couple hunches, but I don't know.

I get what you're saying, but I still don't know what you want the media to do.:yeshrug:

Earlier in the thread when I brought up Timberview's demographics I did that because I had a nagging feeling that the shooter wasn't white like a lot of posters were claiming. I did some digging on the Internet and a lot of people are saying that it wasn't actually about bullying. Tim allegedly got beat up over something that happened regarding some weed. I've seen multiple conflicting stories. Some people claim he got robbed for some weed the prior day. Some people claim he robbed someone for some weed. The truth will eventually come out, but folks are saying this was actually about some weed. A fight happened at school, he couldn't take the L and started shooting :francis:

I found his IG page but it's been taken down already. But on his IG page he was tryna rap and was rapping about opps and street shyt. I'm not buying this bullying angle :yeshrug:



He used to play football and now his life and so many other lives have potentially been ruined over a split second decision. I hope the victims have a speedy recovery. I'm glad he's in custody.

where is this ? school in the south (some areas) sound like a trip

Dallas, not too far from Arlington. Charter school. Took the pay cut for the position (a specialist role). Brought my mother here the third year, and I swear I want to apologize every third day.

I have not position on that. Media is gonna do what the media is gonna do. I just want to know what their motivation is. I'm just curious.

I know wealthy people deal with some of the problems lower income folks have, but damn. I hate these frontin ass nikkas who want to be part of the street life and gangs when everything is going well for them.:why:

What causes this? Is it not having proper guidance?:why:
A lot of y'all late

Suburbs been popping for a while

Especially in Dallas

Part of it comes from comments like the ones in this thread.

Them nikkas will shoot you too

And a lot of it is guidance honestly. But that would mean admitting a lot of y'all aint as good of parents as you think you are

Hip hop gives your kids a lot of what you fail to

Look at this nice ass neighborhood. I swear Arlington and Mansfield had the worst fake struggle nikkas growing up. Dudes had two parents with good incomes, lived good, but always came to school pretending they got it out the mud.

Comes from the negative influence of hip hop.. mainly from the Drill shyt and Atlanta/Memphis rappers.

I've seen $$$ in HP, Lake Highlands, West Plano, Frisco, Southlake etc., but didn't realize Arlington had it like that :ohhh:
Arlington don’t. Other than some really small enclaves Arlington is strictly middle-class. This dude’s neighborhood is relatively new, but it’s all cookie cutter mega builder production houses in this area…the money is further south…

Live more towards the Austin area, but have lived around the country. That shyt makes me mad and disappointed at the same damn time.

Motherfukkers be coming from two parent homes in relatively comfortable areas talking about some street shyt. Parents sat on their asses or got some military pension or some shyt and don't give a damn about they kids education, but kids got Chargers.

Saw one too many brehs habitually fukk up their lives because of the culture.

one of my ex went to Martin HS in Arlington . We pulled up to her grandma's crib off Randol Mill Rd and im like :dwillhuh: ... pulled up to her parent's house off Green Oaks and was like :dwillhuh: ... pulled up to Xmas dinner at her aunt's in Lancaster and i'm like :dwillhuh:


They definitely be eatin high on the hog in them mid-cities
Depends on what part tho. You can roll down certain parts of all those streets you named and be like “fukk that”. I stayed off Green Oaks and the hood-ish apartments was right next door to mid to high 6-figure cribs. They blended right into each other
