Merry Christmas with a Drive-By Shooting

Dec 27, 2009 08:59

Christmas Day in mid afternoon, I was sitting in my car in wolfstoy's driveway (new house) smoking my medical and listening to some tunes (while waiting for Wolf's Dad and Step-Mom to arrive. All of a sudden the electric gate opens, a car stops in front; a black man gets out and fires 7 or 8 shots at the next door neighbors sons friend. I was close ( Read more... )

Hehe; I wish. It's a real nice house; just a rough neighborhood :(

I recall a number of us mentioned that before he bought it. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

I spoke to his real estate lady (my gf that I haven't spoken to through this whole process because of my own mess). Anyway she said there are KNOWN problems next door. She said she visited there MANY times and there is traffic in and out and said she mentioned this to John. The fact I don't think anyone called the cops except the new kids on the block; makes me a bit nervous also. This is the first time I saw the place and it makes me think it's an easy target being the window coverings, electric fence and the open back yard (real easy target). Also my feelings are if the guys are ever gone; they WILL know, and they'll just shoot the dogs and enter the back. Alarms better be attached to the police department because no one in the neighborhood will likely call the cops or get involved in any way. Being a minority in an all majority neighborhood, my guess is they will have BIG problems there. I can say this quite frankly because it happened to his Father and me in our first ranch. I just hope he doesn't get hurt or anyone else ( ... )

Btw that's not a bullet, its a shell casing :) the bullet is the part that comes out of the gun and hits targets/people/animals.

But I agree 100% with your opinion of the area and the people in it. I tried to point this out to wolf a number of times but he had his mind set on it so. *shrug* I got to back my friends play even if I don't agree with it.

I know it was the casing; I was a bit rattled while making the post and wasn't thinking too well. Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)
