Although you made some valid points in your statement and i rep those 100% i don't agree with the fact that a person in rural america can tell me how to live & deal with these brooklyn streets, only someone who's been through it can comment on what goes on out here and the other hoods of america. I've been in brooklyn all my life and have ran these streets up, down and sideways and have seen the hardcore dudes and have seen the ones that wannabe hardcore and i think in this thread what is getting confused is that difference. Just because someone calls you a gangbanger does'nt mean you are one so just because youngin got killed does it mean that he was as tough as this thread is making him out to be.

You're from Brooklyn, are you a banger? Do you know bangers? (don't answer that BTW) Do you know cops? Do you consider any or all your friends? Kids that grew up next door from each other all their lives, reach a point where their paths change, some choose the gang life, others become cops, some move away, some stay in their neighborhood to make it better, others to make it worse. I never forget where I came from, nor do I look down on those that chose a different path that I did. We are still friends and brothers, that will never change.
The only tragedy in this story is that the uncle cared enough to take action, the kid didn't listen and that is tragic.
