Why are yall gagging at the weapons?
These dudes are going about their day, being approached by pranksters either snatching their belongings, making racial slurs, gang-related terms, inappropriate behavior or physical contact. It's the hood I mean what do you expect? Not everyone is a "gang banger" but damn... why provoke a group of guys (in general) you don't know and not expect to be dealt with? Verbally, by fist, or by weapon you knew the potential consequences, you know folks nowadays are crazy
And it's not even just in the hood but in general because this could have happened in a rural or a gated community with the same reaction from white people. But nope, get those views/comments by exploiting poor black people, it will always work, the worlds not ever changing.
