i know where u comin from cos ive had it happen to me, but what they gonna do... shoot u cos u gave a couple punches?? tey would get ripped by their peeps if they shot u for it, its happened before where sum1 been jumped, hit a couple of them, then they got dissed by their crew, n then gone n shot the kid, next thing u know, theyve been kicked out the crew.... reason being, its a shooting over petty shit, brings un-needed attention and drama to the squad not only from the other crew, but also from the police.

but i understand that shit works different in differant areas n shit.

for example, westbowling, or the BD5 where i grew up is well known for its shootings and turf wars out in the street, shootings in broad daylight e.t.c.

yet go over to BD8 which is probs 20-30 minute drive from BD5 and you wont see none of that, they do it on the silent tip, creep into ya house n slice ur throat type, and they encourage killin ANYBODY who dis-respects any member of a crew even the slightest.... yet in bd5 they dont shoot unless sum1 gives good reason for it.

in america shit will probably work alot different, i dunno... but yeah i still get what ur saying though.
