<div class="IPBDescription">Holy sh*t...</div> I just saw on the news that a girl from my school, who I've known for years was shot in the head at a party...

    Holy Christ, that must be freaky.

    It reminds me of when we slowed down at a yellow, the guy in front tried to go for it and got rammed in the side.

    EDIT: E after H, especially after T

    Had that happened to me. Things just seem to slow down for a split second when it happens, you know?

    Man Caboose, that is creepy. Hope you feel better soon, though you may not have any relation to the victim, the fact that you were so close to attending is bound to have some kind of effect on you however small. So take care mate, and thank your lucky stars you didn't attend.

    Oh man, that's creepy. This happened on a Sunday morning!?! You guys have some crazy party hours.

    Oh, it happened at 1.30 am. Seems more logical than "On a Sunday Morning" as the other article put it...

    Wow...that's horrible. And the girl wasn't bad looking either. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I hope you'll be OK man.

    The Liquor Store Owner across the street from my school was shot in the head a month ago. And a football player at our school shot his girlfriend because she refused to move into an apartment with him. Probably around 3 or so gang members have been killed that went to my school. But hey, that's livin' the life.

    Wow. Shows how growing up in different areas can foster different outlooks. Around here (AB, Canada), that is mainly unheard of.

    But damn man, that sucks. Never had anything like that happen to me, and I hope i dont.

    Practically the same thing happened at UNL last year. Girl on the soccer team was at a party and happened to be standing behind two arguing folks and opposite the one who drew the gun. Took a shot in the neck and died. Was in my wife's (then fiancee's) roommate's chem lab, too. World always gets smaller when this sort of thing happens. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Even someone you don't know having something like this happen in close proximity can be pretty shocking. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    On a totally unrelated note; last week up the block from me the same thing happened. Quiet party, 30 college juniors and seniors (rich white school) in a house having fun, and four neighborhood kids (poor hispanic) show up at the door asking to get in. the guy at the door says no, asks for a school ID to be polite, and the kids pull a handgun in response.

    The kid fires a shot in the air to show how seriously he wants in this party, and this causes one of the students (22 y old) to tackle him. he takes a bullet to the abdomen, but gets the gun away and fires into the shoulder of the kid who owns the gun. one of the neighborhood kids takes the gun back and fires twice in the direction of the doorway as they all four run away.

    A student took one bullet in the leg and another in the <i><b>face</b></i>. He's still in the hospital today.

    Three of the kids were arrested the next day, and the fourth is on the run. <a href='http://www.themilwaukeechannel.com/news/3837468/detail.html' target='_blank'>News article</a>.

    this happened a block and a half from my house, and we all very often have these types of parties. What are we supposed to feel? what are we supposed to think? The guy is 22, a graduate student in business, meaning he has spend five years at this school studying to be a professional businessman, and he is now in the hospital with a hole in his head because some punks wanted in their party.

    Am i allowed to be racist now? I feel justified being afraid/suspicious of any 16-20 year old hispanic or african americans that i meet in public. It's horrible.

    I think Mikhail Kalashnikov would have to argue that point with you, although I don't know if his new vodka brand is actually any good.

    Guns and beer, though, definitely don't mix. Irresponsible drinking is always bad.

    Girl from my high school that I used to work with died of alcohol poisoning just a few weeks ago at Colorado State. I think there were 2-3 others at other schools about the same time. I can't even fathom the amount of alcohol it would take to kill. I mean, I don't drink, but I can at least understand why people would want to get a little buzz here and there. But am I the only one who likes my bodily functions and would prefer keeping them running?

    Don't blame the ethnicity, blame the pathetic parents these children must have had. I would shoot myself of shame before I shoot another human being. Somehow human life is nothing to them, and why? Parents of vilest sort. And perhaps, society in general.

    Looking down on Mr/Mrs Rivera, Rodriguez, and Bonilla (names from the linked article) wont make me feel any safer when their kids appear at MY friends' next party.

    Maybe it'd be best if we didnt have any more parties, or, to just spend the rest of our lives curled up in the fetal position in the corner.

    Hating all mexicans won't make you feel safer at your friend's next party either. But it will cause problems. Believe me, I nearly fell into that bottomless pit with the absolutely base things my neighbors have done to my house and family. Did I say "Wow I hate Mexicans now!" almost, then I came to my senses and realized that I knew a TON of wonderful people of hispanic descent. And it would be wrong of me to shame them by comparing them to trash.

    I remember at some point going back to the area of my high school to visit my parents, I was watching the news and it turned out there'd been a gang shooting at the mall I grew up going to and working at, and a student from the school was killed there. So much for going back to <i>that</i> neighborhood to hang out.

    And then there was that Albertsons employee that went nuts with a katana and killed a bunch of his co-workers or something... that was actually one of the two local Albertsons here that I go to (thankfully not my regular one).

    Glad to hear you didn't go and am still in one piece.

    The good ol north hollywood as I remember it. We moved from there after some mexican gang guys pulled a hit on our house. 6 shots strait threw the front door.

    My aunt's boyfriend beat the **** out of them because they were smacking her aroun.

    Whereabouts do you live in north hollywood? I used to live on 5733 Klump Ave, down the street from Circus Liqour and Tom's Number 9
