#News #Basketball #Crime
That’s evil.
AMERICA REPENT! GOD’S WRATH AND JUDGMENT IS COMING
Jesus I always get my butt burned in basketball but to be killed? Come on! Also got my front tooth knocked out by a burly buff guy because I was beating him on the boards!🎃
Men : ” women are so Godam senstive”
Also men:
Truly heartbreaking and disgusting
I hope they caught the s.o.b
Why do Americans still have guns?
Wtf is wrong with people
ha..ha..ha..ha..america the land of oppoturnity..the dreamland full of bs.
Really cuzz they lost 😐 whats wrong with yu
Absolutely disgusting the state of society today.
Not the whole story?..
The trash talk after the game must have gotten super heated
what a coward and a terrible person. I feel horrible for the family.
12%
51%
redlining and intergenerational poverty
It’s a shame. Cowards…
Thats men for you
Clearly it wasn’t about a game of hoops.
If you have it in your heart…or have a lack of heart, you are basically waiting to ‘get disrespected’ as it gives you a chance to vent your frustrations/shortcomings in Life on others.
Earlier this week was waiting to cross the street between my apts and a church that I walk laps around to ‘get my daily steps in’ and as i’m waiting for the last section of the traffic to pass me, out of the blue the last SUV stops abruptly where the driver and I are now separated by no more than 3 or 4 feet – basically face to face – and he doesn’t say a single word while giving me the most hateful look i’ve seen in quite some time.
I’ve lived in big cities most of my Life but this was different, i truly asked myself “am i about to get murdered in the next 5 seconds”?
We had violence back in the 90s but the general level of ‘uncaring’ throughout of society seems to be boilings over.
RIP to Lady Hoops and i hope the evil one who took her gets what he deserves.
Pathetic coward. Rot in jail.
Agreed
America, where it’s socially acceptable to shoot someone!
If you think that statement is wrong, you’re not paying attention.
And you still think people need to have guns???
Biggest sore loser ever
Probably talked a lot of crap and it embarrassed the guy. You gotta know when to take the win and not rub it in.
Over a basketball game?? 😑
ever seen that movie “Fresh” … I been shook about that scene since the day I saw that
but yeah Black people shoot each other over a game proving once again…. that … well… you know
Smh 🤦🏾♂️ bruh was that mad he lost? just take the L or challenge her to another game tf is wrong with people.
Lol back in 2009 I was watching community centre ball game, the one guy snatch the ball from one man and embarrassed him, he stopped in middle of game and shot up the dude… everyone started running and police showed up
You might think it’s just a game but it all comes down to how you act and do it, she prolly made him look foul he came back and paid in full 🩸
Kids gotta know these days not to run yo mouth specially to older heads, this will be the outcome. Life ain’t no tik tok hippy hop wanna be shyt, act serious and you’ll live to see another day, if it’s meant to be
Wait a minute. I thought there was no such thing as a man or woman anymore.
Did the NBA cover it?
Rest In Peace 🙏 Prayers for the family So sad 😞 🙏🙏My condolences to the family 🙏🙏
Just when you think you’ve seen all the unnecessary reasons people use to take another one’s life… smh may she rip
Too many worthless people in this world that don’t belong.
Don’t be crossin’-over a brother in da hood.
And this is why we need are president out the office to many people got guns and in this generation people are too sensitive that’s why people don’t go outside as much now
Agreed
I’m white and I always get assaulted whenever I play well at basketball.
Do they have a suspect?
she probably mouthed off to him, im interested in seeing the witness statements. i would bet she kept her mouth running for an hour
Is there a law that women can hurt men without men fighting back?
I guess since Cops didn’t do this, BLM don’t care.
Lol, they will never show the killer if he is black. Black men has done more damage to black women than even the society.
Thats 1-1
He ragequit
That guys an absolute piece of trash. I hope the woman’s soul find peace and that pathetic guy gets to live the worst possible outcome.
Black on black violence is a major threat to the black community, but the Democrats would hardly talk about that, rather they be villifying cops.
Definitely the mark of a sore loser. Some major ego issues there.
You mean he’s still out there??
I can’t with people anymore, to lose your life over a sore loser who refused to defeat over a basketball is beyond screwed up. Ego is your own worst enemy.
Now, Charleston White, speak up on this. Call it out.
Who does something like this?!!?! Congrats STUPID you will go to jail for killing someone over a basketball game. Don’t drop the soap like you dropped the ball.
*THIS IS HEARTBREAKING AND I DON’T THINK SHE WAS THE TARGET SHE WAS JUST IN THE CROSSFIRE SOMBODY WAS JUST GASSED UP IS ALL*
That’s a loser loser
Is this a Republican state?
The result of the culture of violence that is so encouraged on the ‘street’. People will blame guns, but I’ve had multiple guns for years and never hurt anybody over anything.
This hurts
The irony is that this is not manly behavior
Don’t play against street ballers. They’re weak mentality. Practice at a paid gym or competition
Not only did he loose a basketball game he lost at life
Men: _women are so emotional._
Also men:
GUN 🤑🤑🤑
Pathetic ego.
Guy is a loser and a PoS
Goon won’t be doing it again 🤣
BLM ✊🏾
How heartless 💔 that man was, to take someone’s life over losing a game of basketball 🏀. It is both ridiculous and disgusting, my blood boils when I think about it. My condolences to the family and friends, Sorry for your loss.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Toxic masculinity, perfect example.
When money driven media tells you how to think 🤦🏻
Life with no parole. The death sentence.
#Justice
B.L.M = 🤡…..rip to this young lady 🙏🏾🕊️
Let’s just hope he spends the rest of his worthless life in a maximum-security prison. And by the way he lost and every single day of his life he will wake up knowing that he lost the game to this talented young woman..
That was no man that was a piece of ####
Monster
A man knows how to lose a beach doesn’t
Get a new mic! For the love of God .
For the love of God, get a new mic! It sound like your popping bubble wrap.
It’s bad enough that people are shooting after losing street fights. Now people shooting for losing basketball? The logic is nonexistent.
There’s more to this story I don’t believe the guy was that upset over a basketball game
lmao what? staaaaawp over a basketball game? african americans are a permanent underclass. the colonized are really suffering
Just ban guns.
It’s pretty pathetic that a male Simp decided to shoot his girlfriend over losing in a game of street basketball to death.
That’s what happens when a former president of the USA gives a bad example. The behavior will spread trough society.
We know the type of people that play street ball. Is this a shocker? Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Yes shame on the poor loser it’s truely pathetic. But look at us we didn’t play street ball and we’re alive. No matter what it is you are doing you have to accept any possible outcome. It’s simple don’t want to be eaten by a shark don’t go into the ocean. Don’t want to be tempted by a Cinnabon don’t walk into a food court. Don’t want to be shot for playing basketball don’t play basketball.
You’re victim blaming because they played basketball 💀
Fragile male ego. 😢
Some gangster, hitting women for beating him in a game? What a man! Dude should get castrated and start wearing a skirt and tongs.
That fool needs to not be walking free ever again.
Man was built to be a world leader
Black fragility at its finest.
When are we going to have an open and honest discussion about African American violent crime?
USA u have some pretty sick people out there brehs
My condolences to the loving family of that young lady .
I just want to ask people like that shooter, “WTF were you thinking?” I don’t understand how anyone can justify ending someone else’s life, except in self-defense.
Losing in basketball makes the black kids angry!!!!!
So Kanye west doesn’t watch all this? Indeed his a fool.
Poor sport smh took a queen off her throne rip
Just remind everyone ???? What is it the you all keeps saying that “Matters” ????????
Just wondering ??
Black people, such a civilized race.
Played basketball with a gangster. He lost and she insulted him for it. He shot her to death. This is the most likely reason.
Didnt this happen a few weeks ago too?
I never compete with strangers in ANYTHING, no pick up game at the park, nothing. I don’t interact with strangers. It’s a crazy world out there
You get what you deserve when you hit that jail cell , what a loser , rip thought and prayers to family
