Teen held in Newark schoolyard slaughter

[Terry James]

Kindda stupid if you ask me.... Looking down reading their cellphones texting, while they were right next to each other. If the facts presented so far are accurate, when they actually tried to leave the perps prevented them from doing so.

But in all honesty, I don't know about ya'll, but generally we did not hang out in school yards, parks, etc. after dark. Simply too dangerous.

we don't know all the facts...could have been a reason for the text messages (perps were an earshot away)...anything. They saw the need to leave and attempted. I thought the first victim attempted to run away at first...read it somewhere. Easy to say "Kindda stupid" we none of us was there.

lets not get carried away..........i said nothing about murders i said monsters
and everday we wake up and some one has taken it upon themselves to violate another....i'm in newark often as many others are on this board that could have been anyone of us.. also on that weekend a young man from my home town was shot in newark on smith street also in his 20's. so to say not to get carried away..pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

let that shoe be on your foot and you would be singing a diffrent tune......

Sorry bro but the statistics just don't support your hysteria.

TAC, we did growing up! But it was a different era!
You could hang out at the school yard, somebodies front porch (mainly mine - my mother wasn't letting me with out shout hearing!) and or somewhere safe! Or what we deemed to be safe!

This is a different climate now! Nothing and nowhere is safe!

TAC,
This is a different climate now! Nothing and nowhere is safe!

Agreed. Question is, what is the root cause of the climate change?

[Terry James]

Sorry bro but the statistics just don't support your hysteria.

due respect...but them stats don't mean sh*t when it's you, your family or in your community. Your community is your world, not some sample of...

Hmmm...

I definitely hung out in playgrounds after dark, in BROWNSVILLE!!!! I often think of all the dicey situations I blithely walked into as a teen and am deeply thankful that I came out mostly unscathed.

[TAC]

The robbery motive still sounds strange. I mean, how much $$ could those kids have had on them -then to execute them in such a cold manner.

Man, you gotta be kidding. I had a friend in the bronx who was shot and killed for all of a large pizza and 5 cents in his pockets.

They were listening to music on something, so that is something of value right there.

MS13 anyone?

So you know the parks I speak of around there. Problem was, and yes I am making an admission here, but I hung tight with the criminal element. So I knew what was going on in parks at night cause we was rolling on anyone we would catch in the parks, after dark. And this was in the seventies, mind you.

Consequently, when I (or we) didn't (or wouldn't) have the advantage/upper hand, there was no way I/we would be found in a park after dark. That's just plain, simple survival tactic. It suffices to suffice to say, you learn quick or you die.

Yeah, I'm wondering about that too. They announced a robbery...5 against 4 expecting to reap what? Not much...

And a scary bunch of buggers they are. I'm not so worried about the Kings as I am about Trece...and this sounds exactly like some of their shyt. For real. And that squashes, as far as I'm concerned, the robbery as a real motive.

[liL Ray]

please stop the speculation...it's a little disrespectful...

or maybe I am just buggin'.

but please stop it.

[Terry James]

d/p

[Terry James]

shiiiiid....it very may well jump off behind bars too...peeps have been known to get it for certain crimes they commit...this can tie into the prison gangs big time

[Mr.I]

I mean if you gonna rob somebody, rob SOMEBODY. Ruin your life and countless others for a few $$, STOOPID!

You have been very sensitive lately

[liL Ray]

You have been very sensitive lately

is that a problem now?

no amount is worth it

[Mr.I]

no amount is worth it

Sounds to me like some fool shot one of them, and they thought he/she was dead, and then they collectively decided that the only way to avoid jail was to shoot all the witnesses. The first victim was the one who lived.

Speaking of statistics, I did jury duty last week for 3 days. When they asked us if you or anyone in your family had been the victim of a violent crime, almost every single person (myself included) raised their hand and proceeded to tell their story. It was fascinating and scary at the same time.
