(Newser) – An Atlanta teen who wanted to leave a gang was shot 15 times—and survived. The 19-year-old "told the other members of the gang, 'Hey, look, I want to go straight, be law-abiding,' and they weren't happy with it," says a US marshal, adding, "Never since I've been in law enforcement have I seen someone shot 15 times and live." The teen was left for dead, but was helped by people who saw him crawling and heard his moans; they're now in protective custody, Fox Atlanta reports.
A relative says he is recovering after surgery. Authorities have arrested a 16- and 19-year-old in the shooting. They're apparently confirmed members of the Young Mob gang, which has this foreboding motto: You stay in until you die.
You took the words out of my mouth. Plus whatever happened to “see you guys tomorrow” and then leaving on the midnight bus to Birmingham.?
“An Atlanta teen who wanted to leave a gang was shot 15 times—and survived.”
The young lad has the Lord looking out for him or he’s a sponge capable of absorbing 9mm rounds. If I were him, I’d trust more in the Lord than the idea of owning a fantastical superhero physique.
He can either leave the evil obuma hood and start a new life or join the Marine Corps and invite his fire team to enjoy a night in the hood and take revenge.
Leaving is easier and a better choice.
Go west, young man.
obama’s boys will be obama’s boys.
If he ever comes around to believing, he’d have one powerful testimony.

Indeed. When I typed my comment, I envisioned him speaking to young people.
“If he ever comes around to believing, he’d have one powerful testimony”
You are right! Obviously satan REALLY wanted this boy dead, there must be a reason for the “inneffective” overkill. God REALLY wants this boy to live.
Prayers for this kid, I too hope he doesn’t waste his second chance.
To everyone else saying, (and I am paraphrasing here) :”gangbanger’s can’t shoot”, “need a bigger caliber”, “different ammo”, etc. It just wasn’t this kids time to go. I believe if they would have shot this kid with a CANNON that night, he would have lived.
