You ever experienced violence before?

[CashmereThoughts]

No

 

[Richard Glidewell]

Until I knew and wanted better this what it was


Then in choosing to do better I signed up for levels of magnitudes higher violence.......

I'd be more interested to hear how anyone can get to this point in life and NOT experience violence. shyt is everywhere tbh

High school is one thing but if you’re constantly getting into violent situations as an adult, I seriously question your intelligence and your ability to de-escalate.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Hell yeah........
Most of my youth was shoot outs
and violence.

Where are you from?

I witnessed shootouts, but I never been in one myself. Thank god.

My brother’s kids have never experienced it because he moved out of the neighborhood we grew up and so they have been kind of sheltered like for example he just plays video games and watches anime

I used to box, violence doesn't scare me very much but I do try to avoid it at all costs cuz I'm too to be out here tussling with retards

 

[The Dust King]

or doing calendars for multiple
murders.
I know God had me out here.

A lot of people go through life never experiencing violence. That’s actually the norm. The issue is so many of us live a different reality that we think violence is just normal. That’s how I felt too. Until I got to college and started moving through the professional world with people who grew up middle class and above. You realize that a lot of shyt that was normal to you (like fights in school everyday or every week) are not normal for most people. That’s a realization that can fukk you up too cuz then you start to have a different perspective on your upbringing.

Damn. Same here.

We beat the odds!!!!

 

[Kasper KArr]

Sadly yes. One of the main reasons why I pursued an education and got out the hood. I despise violence on any level and have worked towards that including mentoring at risk teens everywhere including East Palo Alto, working in both NY in the BC and Bronx, helping launch a violence prevention/ trauma first aid nonprofit in St. Louis to address gun violence etc.

With that said, even at this day I’m somewhat ashamed that I would break my rules for one cat who shot at me when I was a kid. But he happened to be the kid that got killed by Tru Life and his brother.

 

[Mr. Negative]

yeah I survived the mid 90s.

was in somebody club or parking lot every night.

been in fights and shootouts, drove a car (85 caprice) with bullet holes in it

been beat waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy the fukk up. Lost so much blood one time that it froze in chunks in the snow. I remember laying there and watching it steam.

quote a rapper: "Intelligent. Used to write and be well spoke./Now all nikka wanna do is fight and sell coke"

not gonna lie like I sold no drugs.
