  1. Guns still out there, youths still trying to kill other people.
    They need to do mire about these wild wild west movie scenes in our neighborhoods.

  2. All them gun let off in the country by them two late former bird brothers while they were ministers and the syrians are coming home to roost now. The government back then had probably been signing license for gun importation to individuals for a few under the table back then. And now the government regardless of party will tip toe around white people or syrians or Chinese. They don’t dare investigate them.

  3. Contrived and staged! Sorry for those randomly selected as collateral damage. Keep the public in fear and on edge! Ask the disgraced soldier. Perfect timing: visitors in town! Walk good, my peeps.

  4. Here in the USA if a crime happens the police will access residents, business and street light camera’s in the said area/perimeter to try to see a possible video of suspected shooter…

  5. Only a lickspittler like Faithful National # 1 could come up with something so stupid, shootings have been happening frequently but he has to come up with conspiracy. Shankers is really debilitating

  6. This is not the Wild Wild West so this nonsense has to stop. These young people need to stop listening to gangsta rap and videos and stop playing violent video games because gun violence is not a joke. You can’t shoot someone dead and think they are going to come back to life like in the video games or on TV. Praise the Almighty that these two young men survived in this particular case. Young people, please find another way to solve your issues. This is where mental health counseling comes into play. Mental health professionals need to go into the schools, clubs, churches etc and hold assemlies on peaceful conflict resolution, mental health symptoms and possible solutions and avenues for help. Parents also need to parent their children by being present in their lives, making themselves always available to their children, and stop being their best buddies. Love your children enough to discipline, guide and take care of them. Some will listen/ respond and do the right thing while others won’t. These should be made to suffer the full consequences of their actions. But as a community and as parents you can at least demonstrate you did your part.

  7. It’s times now where to many people are being shot or some stupidness! What police doing about this? Cause atp they are just shooting shooting for no reason. Life is not all about violence

  8. Nobody just shoots at someone for no reason rather worse two persons. Yall know who yall beefing with and what yall into.
