Wounds like he needs a better class of “friends” to “hang out” with.

Stay off the streets and stay home. No one thinks you are cool if you are hanging with losers.

“Wounds” should be “sounds”

Maybe not.

Unbelievable. We are being over run by animals in this country.

It’s that blasted Latino “machismo” horse manure.

Let this be a cautionary tale for all. This wouldn’t have happened to him if he was home with his family. As for partying with friends, nobody has 40 friends and it only takes one scumbag to ruin everybody’s day.

When I was in the Navy, I’ve had co-workers get beat up and two shot—one at a party, one shot in the back while walking away from a fight in a nightclub parking lot at 2 AM.

I’m not trying to assign blame in this Tupac-dispute, we’ll never know and it doesn’t matter. The best way to deal with it is to not be there.

Sullivan's brother and the other man began arguing over football a little before midnight, San Bernardino Police Lt. Gwendolyn Waters said Saturday.

Good grief.

What the hell! That’s what has you outraged? The man has a right to attend a party in his honor and then leave uninjured. He just survived a military suicide bombing after months in combat. You think his first thought that night was to be cautious when attending a party in his honor in his own country? For Gods sake there is no end to the piety and self righteousness on FR.

“Machismo” should be classified in the same category with “honor” killing.

Is it possible the gunman is an illegal?

Of course. But understand that you're talking theory. "yldstrk" is talking reality.

40 person party + alcohol + drugs + guns + illegal aliens sounds like a typical Saturday night in East LA.

Which only exists in hindsight. Neither of you were there, know him, know his family or his friends, yet you feel justified in painting the tragedy with the broad brush of your own assumptions. His post was the most multi-faceted disgusting post I have ever read on FR.

He took a stand as the man that he is and the coward would not punch him...but rather shot him. I pray he will recover.
