Many of them died to stupid reasons. for example three of my friends died in the past two weeks just because they had on black shirts. they were killed by a man who was an ex- gang member of the nortes and my friends were only 16. Also lil Snup a raw upcoming freestyle rapper just turned 18. four days later he was killed by 37-year-old Tony Holden over a video game. Was sup with everyone trying to be about that LIFE being about that life will only get you two things in life death or jail. #killing
