What's with the shooting

Everyday I wake up in the morning and turn on the news there is always a new shooting. I don't get it what's with people these days?

It's most often in the east bay Oakland, Richomnd, East Palo Alto, etc. I don't know if this is true it's usually a certain race are involved.

yeah my friend is applying for Oakland FD and i told him not to. I wouldnt be surprised if the firefighters get shot up sometimes.

His grandpa has also had a spotlight put on him in his backyard once, sounds like fun to me.

i hear a lot from Salinas, like for years at least 1 shooting a month.

SJ has had like 20 shoot/killings this year, in Tuesdays SJM paper i think.
makes you not want to pass by the areas they listed on the map.

most of the killing in the sj area are gang related. So if your not connected, you are relatively safe, unless they have a morbid initiation task.

gangsters tend to hate the police and love the paramedics / firemen cause their the ones that saves them after the shoot ups.

yep, i have a friend who is a firefighter. the people loves them, because when a paramedic or firefighter show up at your door means they are there to help you. when a police officer show up at your door, most likely to be something bad.

^ yeah, i meant like stray bullets, or walking into a dark house. I guess its pretty safe for them, but if you had a choice to be in a fire dept, Oakland wouldnt be 1st on the list. you gotta start somewhere though
