[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I wonder is how can folks move in as gentrifies, rudely and ruthlessly displace long-term Black residents, and then be outraged that that once in a while, someone get seriously hurt like this? I mean, under "street code," people lose their lives over $500. The harm gentrifies cause is far more than drug deal gone wrong. To me, seems that white folks buying in many parts of DC are gambling as this family did.[/quote] Not gambling. Thinking they're taking over and what they say goes. Sometimes it doesn't and if you mess with the wrong person, you will get hurt. People lose their lives to gun violence every day and if you're black you don't get the outpouring of sympathy and outrage. It's a small story if one at all and news flash, not all black people do things that should get them shot. But this. This is a big deal. [/quote]
