raula Posted November 18, 2004 I hope he recovers from it..but I have to say somalis live in the worst neighborhoods. Capital park is HELL-HOLE :mad: I guess they thought you guys are associated with the CRIBS/BLOOD of S.central L.A eh?

king_450 Posted November 19, 2004 One piece of advise plz get out of these ghetto areas, i think what is happening to Somali community is lack of Motivation,and most of them are not shooting for embetterment of their lives. Look when most of the somlais came to the states sure they were given to low income housing or shall i say "Refugee Camps " , i can't conceivable call these places a house,but a temp ones, so why not work hard and try to move out your loved ones in these horrible living circumstances,or none of you have an ounce of blood. This really sickens me hearing these shootings all the time. America is big move on and try to eat your peice of pie, you can make it,and the opportunity is there. If not go back home"somalia" for God sake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gediid Posted November 19, 2004 Its really sad that this has happened but the blame lies also on those Somali kids who are trying to emulate life in the ghetto.I have seen Capitol Park and I know that there are so called "Somali gangs" out there who act, talk, dress and behave like one of those gangs out of South Central LA but in reality are only a nuisance during Somali parties and among Somalis, but against real gangs I have heard they are not as tough as they portray themselves to be. Now take the case of the poster himself if I had seen this post anywhere else other than SOL I would have thought it was posted by the same people he's calling names.Somali kids need to realize that acting,dressing ghetto will only mean a life in the ghettos and things very similar to what has happened in Ohio will happen every where Somalis reside in large numbers.

Coloow Posted November 19, 2004 Assalamu calaykum, I don't think many somalis who live in urbanised areas have the luxary of choice. Moving out is not easy when you have a low income; When you are a refugee who lived there less than 10 years; When there is a cultural gap between the somali parents and their offsprings and when somalis are confronted with racism from virually every race. The irony is that many cities in the US are more dangerous than Mogadishu. I travelled extensively in the US last year, and death by unlawful killing is a common occurance. Coming from the relatively peaceful countryside in Sweden, I was in a state of fear; constantly reminded of the value of life and the destitution in America. However, many of the problems of inner cities in the US and UK are not only confined to somalis. They could be sourced to poverty and economic disparities. Drugs and the free flow of weapons are some other culprits, not to mention the dog-eat-dog mentality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nomen nescio Posted November 19, 2004 He got hit with one bullet in the shoulder, his name is Saciid, he is my cousin...last time I saw him he was an A student in a Charlotte NC High School. The kid was manipulated by this older farax hustler nicknamed (Midnight) into slinging drugs. He is recovering now and we are planning to move his *** out of that shit hold people call Columbus.
