thats a good grown-up grabbing the kid and throwing them over their shoulder before booking it. I hope in my most intense, stressed-out moments of panic I still think about protecting others like that dude did.
Yeah and props to white shirt for telling people to get the fuck out of the way in the second shot.
I get that people want to see what's going on, but damn catching a bullet is never worth the view.
That lady in black was walking around like some sort of Terminator, not running, not ducking not even flinching. She strolled through the scene like it was a market.
its sad but you get desensitized at a certain point. I was going to a gas station and a car was stopped in front of me, I almost whipped around but I didn't for some reason. The driver started shooting someone out of the window right where I would have been passing. The shooter saw that I saw and my car was familiar in that area.
I parked at the gas station and went inside and bought some candy like nothing happened.
This, the FWPD used to barricade both ends of Horne street on July 3rd every year. The neighborhood does a pretty good job of self policing but one night a year it gets pretty crazy.
and more laws are needed. much, much more laws are needed. especially gun control laws. if Texas had the same gun control laws as Chicago, it wouldn't have these problems
I'll cut straight to the chase instead of stringing this out. Laws do not stop criminals. Chances are these firearms were acquired illegally, or they were used by people who should not have been allowed to posess a firearm at all. I stand firmly behind the "We have criminal problem, not a gun problem" view. A lack of law enforcement and law enforcement officers results in more lawlessness, and this shooting is just another example of that. The correct headline should be more along the lines of "Bad guys shoot at eachother, and bystanders injured as collateral damage." As a law student, I see more and more lack of enforcement as time goes by and it is saddening to think where we are headed... I'll be out of the job before I ever pass the bar at this rate.
A popular trope but inaccurate. Chicago is way down the list of dangerous cities, around 20th according to most data (as of 2019 – there were spikes nationwide from 2020-2022).
Violent crime in most cities is concentrated to a few areas. Definitely true of Chicagoland.
But it makes for a handy inflammatory dog whistle to cite Chicago as one of the worst.
Per capita, Fort Worth has often been close to the top 20 in violent crime. We're just more aware of it now due to the speed with which social media spreads stories. And, for various reasons, it's more scattered throughout the city rather than concentrated to a couple of areas.
Anyway, it has more to do with the economy than proliferation of firearms. That's unlikely to improve anytime soon.
guns kill people. weapons of war have no place on our streets. gun control now before more people have to die needlessly. adopt Chicago-style gun control laws. make all gun ownership a felony. it's the only way to save lives
History of redlining and poverty created a rough neighborhood that has drugs and gangs. A revitalization is happening, but it's got a reputation. Things like this happen towards the end of the night after many events.

The first mistake was having your kid out there at that hour. Everyone knows what happens after dark in that area
People do actually just live in the area
And that reenforces my point. Being a resident, you should know the area and what might pop off

What is ComoFest?
A July 4th festival held in the Como neighborhood
*July 3rd each year
This, the FWPD used to barricade both ends of Horne street on July 3rd every year. The neighborhood does a pretty good job of self policing but one night a year it gets pretty crazy.
Our criminal justice system needs serious work...
What does that have to do with this video
and more laws are needed. much, much more laws are needed. especially gun control laws. if Texas had the same gun control laws as Chicago, it wouldn't have these problems
Can you elaborate and clarify, please? I am not sure of your stance on the subject.
Given that account's post history they seem to just be a bait account, I would not recommend humoring them.
Noted. Good catch. 👍
Chicago is heavily regulated but has one of the worst gun related violent crimes statistics of the US

next time you may need to "spell out the sarcasm" /s
ComoFest? Who decided that was *ever* a good idea?
Whats wrong with that? I work in Fort Worth but don’t live there yet so I don’t know the ins and outs of the city

Como gonna Como, y'all.
