Mother Loses Two Sons to Gun Violence in 3 Weeks in East Oakland

[Orbital-Fetus]

shyt nikka you lived near death boyden?

yea that's where i grew up

the 13 boy that got killed on Xmas, me and him went to elementary together, his big brother was my brehh.

and the boy that killed in front of the Loft went to HS with me, he was a good dude and didnt deserve to be skilled

a friend of mine lives in Oakland, a few blocks from the hospital.
he told me that dudes would wait outside of the hospital to shoot up dudes who survived getting shot up the first time.
it happened a few times.

they had to have police outside of the hospital anytime someone who was injured in a gun related indecent was released.

then my boy told me that the cops would not come for anything that was not violent crime related.
his crib got broken into and they stole a shyt load of his Jordans...he had a closet full of them.
he called the cops and they told him

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

that shyt really is the baltimore of the west coast

except that Oakland has a thriving economy, many fortune 500 companies, and is apart of the technology boom... Baltimore, by all counts, is a piece of sh*t... (no offence)

Highland Hospital?
I believe it's the only trauma center in the county, any gun shot victim would be taken there.
The emergency room has metal detectors, and you are searched before entering.
Pretty sure there are sheriffs patrolling the lobby.
I had to go there when I was suffering from kidney stones. I appreciated that I was able to get help, but I never want to go there again. That place is a nightmare.

[Danie84]

Not exactly a week apart, but I grew up down the block from A lady who lost three of her sons in the span of three years, because nikkas rather be destructive and gun down their own

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Its crazy how murder is on these dudes minds. And that they can sleep at night knowing they are planning to murder someone..or that they just murdered someone.
