Two Killed, Seven Injured, in Miami Shooting

January 24th, 2009

Last night, Two people were killed and seven more injured in Miami’s notorious Liberty City neighborhood. Violence is not uncommon in the high-crime but many residents are shocked by the randomness of this particualr shooting since shots were fired into a crowd of what seems like innocent bystanders.  At least one of the wounded is in critical condition at a hospital, police spokeswoman Kenia Alfonso said. So far, no arrests have been made and details as to what motivated the shooting spree are sketchy. “We have someone out there that is armed, it is a dangerous situation,” Alfonso said. When authorities got to the scene of the shooting, the dead and wounded were lying in the street. Lt. Ignatius Carroll with Miami Fire Rescue said Six people were taken to trauma units and another person went to a hospital with less severe injuries, reports the associated Press. There has been heavy police presence since the shooting. Authorities confirm that no children were killed in the spree.

david and george,

Are you two alluding that there is no such thing as White on White crime? White on White crime is just as high as Black on Black crime. The difference is in the way the two are handled. It begins with the first responders; (White male cops), to the way it plays out in the Judicial System. Don’t get me wrong; this crap going on in our communities need to stop years ago. But, it also need to stop in communities that look like you guys. White on White crime is just another lil secret; for those who will not do any homework regarding the matter. It’s just that White on White crime often ends with probation, light sentencing, and even dismissals.

RTEST,IF YOU HAVE SOME FREE TIME TODAY YOU CAN LOOK UP THE FACTS OF WHO COMMITS MORE CRIME. BLACKS MAKE UP 12-13% OF THE POPULATION IN THE USA AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 43% OF THE CRIME. THAT JUST A FACT. THE TOP 20 MOST VIOLENT CITIES IN THE USA ARE BLACK CITIES. DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT LOOK IT UP. 70% OF BLACK HOMES HAVE NO FATHER IN THE HOME. SO MUCH FOR HOPE AND CHANGE AND BRINGING EVERYBODY TOGETHER. YEAH YEAH YEAH WE KNOW CHANGE IS COMING , YES WE CAN AND ALL THE OTHER POLITICAL SLOGANS. THE LOVE FEST IS OVER NOW IT’S TIME TO WORK.

As a black, educated, 27 year old successful business owner I must say that black, white, asian, hispanic, and all other nationalities have come together to celebrate the historic win of OUR first black president and as soon as innocent black teens die in a shootout that apparently happened for no reason ignorant people want to cry “black on black crime”. It’s so cliche’ and getting old. NO one knows if this person was black, white, red, yellow, or green. He had on a ski mask for crying out loud!!!! Most quote on quote black crimes don’t happen randomly and rarely do they cover their faces. It’s sad that these crimes happen whether they are black on black, white on white, asian on asian, latino on latino. NO INNOCENT BYSTANDERS DESERVE TO DIE. There is not one race of people that are perfect. Yes SOME blacks have more to deal with than others because of the environment from which they come from. But guess what? Alot of blacks have came up from poverty, from racism, from people doubting them, and have successful stories to tell about it. Save the ignorant comments and share them with other ignorant folk. This is a new day, and no change won’t happen over night. Prayer goes out to the families of the victims. Have a blessed day.

Did I miss something? I didnt read it was black on black.

well i agree with the other two ladies.the first i agree with,is the black on black crime.in this certain area doesn’t usually cover they’re faces.with any type of mask.and for it to be a random shooting,of so many people at one time(as all being targets)does seem pretty strange.for it to be black on black crime.(and think people )isn’t it weird,how it happened.not so soon after election.and then again you really can’t say who did it.but i do know that putting two and two together.it doesn’t make sense.and as far as the other young lady.you really shouldn’t ever go by what you hear.but do go by what you know to be fact.and allways by what you see.not by what other people tell you.that you don’t know,or haven’t seen your self.and as a ending note.if it was black on black crime.then it’s really sad.because we have come to far.to still act like fools,and fall into the trap of ”expected to be uneducated,dumb,and just plain stupid.”that’s what some expect us to be.so please,we need to stop giving them what they want.and instead give them what they don’t want.and that would be success.our ancestors worked hard for it.and we now have the opportunity for it.so don’t be stupid,and take advantage of that opportunity.my prayers go out to the families of the victims that were involved.and i strongly know in my heart that.god well take care of those that did.this very horrible act of such a crime.and i know they will get what they deserve.and to david,a word of advice.stay in your lane.of ignorance,and see where it gets you.which is no where.the only thing that makes us different is our pigmentation.so please do what your expected to do.and that is be smart,and do your research.cause as far as i see it.we all have the same thing in our veins,and if you don’t know.that is actually called blood.they have rich,poor,middle class,and minimum wage,average paid,and high salary paid caucasians as well as african americans.you have some whites who live in bad areas,and come from dyfunctional families(as well as blacks).and david i can go on and on(etc,).so for the last time please be alot more respectful.everyone pray for the families of the victims.as well as for the victims they’re selves.because the more people that have the same prayer.the more blessings that come out of answered prayers.remember be blessed and ignore ignorance.because ignorance is for fools,and we’re not that. we have to perservere to show those.that think that we are fools.(otherwise). keya24…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

IF YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN TO LIBERTY CITY YOU REALLY CAN’T SAY THAT THE PERSON WAS BLACK. EVERY RACE IS THERE. AND YOU KNOW THEY BUT BLACKS, JAMACANS AND HASSINS ALL IN THE SAME GROUP. THEY EVEN GOT PUERTO RICANS IN THAT LIL CITY TO. JUST SAY THAT THE CRIME NEEDS TO STOP FOR EVERYBODY CAUSE IT AINT NO TELLING WHO DID IT.

Lakers24,

Yeah yeah yeah, I have read the statistics. But remember, the iraq war was started because of gathered intelligence too. Again I said white on white crime is handled differently from the very first approach. I have seen the evidence first hand. I have worked in Corrections, and have been an Army Recruiter. When attempting to process white guys for the military, I often learned they had criminal records, but they were usually misdeameanors,while black guys had felonies for the same infractions. There are really many examples I can speak to. Here is another example for you lakers24. A Black man (Mike Vick) is incarcerated for killing a couple of dogs, while a White man (Joe Horn) who murdered two people by shooting them in the back as they attempted to run didn’t even get hand-cuffed not to mention no incarceration. I could go on lakers24, but you can’t handle the truth, I think.



sick and tired Said on

I agree 100% with songbyrrd: Who said that the person was black…No one saw the shooter so how can you just assume that the person was black…it could have been of any race ….everytime something happens around a crowd of blacks doesn’t mean the blacks are the ones that are doing it….people just get over yourselves….and quit blaming everything on the black man…know all the facts and details before you make decisions…I don’t see any evidence from CSI saying that it was a black period.GOD bless the families who had love ones that were killed or injured in this terrible event.

A famous saying is “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and STATISTICS “.
Any honest statistician will tell you that given a set of numbers statistics can be manipulated for or against almost any cause.

When deciding whether or not to trust certain statistics you need to know who collected the data and who interpreted the data used to formulate the statistics. In most cases when it comes to blacks that data was collected and interpreted by whites at the US Justice Dept; an organization that has historically discriminated against blacks and compiled those biased statistics that racist non-blacks believe and love to post on the internet. If collectors of data about crime in the US only count black crimes then of course the rate of crime for blacks will be extremely high; and false. If those same collectors (not even considering the white crimes that don’t get reported at all by white racist cops) ignore most of white crime data or reclassify it as something other than white criminal activity then of course the rate of crime for whites will be extremely low and equally false. This is simple mathematical manipulation by racist like Umlaw, lakers24, david, etc… all racist who trust and believe in these bogus stats to support their racist beliefs about blacks. So quit it with the bogus statistics they are not impressive to intelligent people!



Tawana Said on

Sharon to be so educated you sound so ignorant!black on black crime is a major issue in our community and needs to stop.so whether or not this paticular shooting was or was not blacks!it is still out there and bad!

Okay here is the scoop on david,

david got his #*** caught in the door jam and when the meth lab in his mammy room exploded all hell broke looseh and his mammy ran past his door and slammed it by accident and that broke off david’s #*** and the dog caught it and took it outside to bury it in the yard behind the trailer next to his daddy’s dried bones. so david been without a #*** for a while now and at school he sees all these black boys in the locker room with real dicks gettin all that sweet ~~?~~ that he can’t get so he hates black men but he also loves black men cause he loves to take it up the ass real hard. he’s confused he don’t no whether to ?@?$ or be ~*~#~@.
