Several people were shot at an apartment complex near Auburn University when a fight broke out during a pool party, authorities and a witness said Sunday.

Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the pool party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friends. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.

Vines said he punched one of the men, while his friend hit both of the men over the head with a bottle.

” Over my dead body” !

Here in Atlanta the other day there was a funeral for a black guy who was shot by, guess who(?) another black guy.
Two friends showed up, one was the shooter of the dead guy and one of the dead guys friends. An argument ensued.
Each of them pulled out a gun and shot each other. DRT!
“Over my dead body” was apt in this case.

Example: Glock steals a SUV and causes a Hit & Run Fatality!
It could also be a hate crime if the Glock had Ivory grips!

"Very common first name these days in America, but unheard of in Africa."

I've read that the last couple of years in California that 30% of the first names given to Black infant females is shared by no-one else in the state for that year.

It's just our Euro-centric bias that causes us to think it's strange. Eh?

It is extremely rare to read about a group of white 20-somethings gathered that ends in violent death. But no one is surprised to read about shootings and deaths when a group of black 20-somethings have a party. Why are blacks so prone to violence?

>>What are “gun crimes”?<<

Crimes committed by guns.

You know, just like the evil SUVs that roamed and marauded a few years back...

Dekalb County is a few steps below Atlanta.

[Feckless]

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

So many things to note in this story:

First of all, don't bring a fist and a bottle to a gun fight.

Secondly, those involved in the fight were: Turquorius, Damario, LaDarius, and Ed..... Ed?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

OMG, priceless!

Turquorious is a common name in America? I have never heard of it.

“So sad that is was over a woman .... At least they weren’t into venture capital or private equity.”

These might not be mutually exclusive in this case.

At least you can walk into a gift shop and buy a coffee mug with your name on it.

Do you kick it in the hood?

[certrtwngnut]

Was one of the men killed named Loquacious Speaker?
Where in hell do people find these names? We really are becoming third world.
