you might not like urban slang, but you should probably learn to use the urban slang dictionary if you're going to continue reading threads about extreme low-class behavior (like this one).
*thank you!*

This poor guy got KILLED this week because his 16 year old gf wouldn't stop fighting with another 16 yo girl. The second 16 year old's bf stabbed the first one's bf.

Everyone old enough to be a relationship needs to take stock of the type of violence their partner might draw them into. This week has been bad in NYC news for partner beating/killing/violence caused by women and men alike.

Suspect arrested in fatal stabbing of 17-year-old in Brooklyn park

There is no video on that page at least not anymore. This story is disgusting and I don't blame the guy. The woman assaulted or attempted to assault him when she spit on or at him twice. He felt very strongly against hitting a woman but it sounds like she definitely deserved it. Lets say he started fighting with the woman, who's to say the BF would not have attacked him from behind, maybe with a weapon? Similar things have happened.

I have never and hope to never hit a woman in my life but if one of these lowlife women attacks me like a man I will not only defend myself but go on the offensive!

And anybody who stays in a relationship with someone who starts trouble like this is a foolish.

Let me guess...more typical ghetto people just going about their usual day. All these uneducated liberal experiments just need to relaxx. Or at least ask the Democrat poilticians that buy their votes to teach them how to read so they can eventually move up in life.

I don't address spelling or grammar on this board or on any message board because if I did, I would be hijacking every single thread. Many people don't or can't spell properly, but it doesn't mean they should be called out on it in every post.
Agree 100%.

Why are you convinced that these people vote??

I've lived in the hood my entire life - whenever I went to vote, all I saw was working people there. Ghetto people don't go vote. Ghetto people don't follow politics. Go to the hood and ask somebody what a Democrat is, I bet you over 50% don't know.

Maybe they don't physically vote, but if necessary, someone votes on their behalf. At least by name.

It is very sad that they wouldn't even know what a Democrat is. Especially since they are the ones dictating their lives.
