From CBS2 Chicago

A concert headlined by rap artist Wacka Flocka had just ended as an unidentified gunman or gunmen opened fire on about 200 teenagers waiting in the Commons shopping center parking lot for rides. Eight teenage boys, ages 14 to 18, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, Gary Police Cpl. Gabrielle King said.

King said Saturday “all chaos broke loose” when a fight erupted during the event. Security workers ordered attendees to leave the rink at 4415 W. 5th Ave.

One of the victims told police he was shot in the stomach by a black man holding a rifle. He said the man was wearing a red hat and had dreadlocks.

    surprised the promoter was able to get event insurance. for the longest rap venues have had trouble obtaining insurance because it’s almost guranteed something like this will happen.

    Everybody be on the look out and report any black man with dreads to local authorities. It aint snitchin’ folks. Lets not open that debate. But be on the lookout for a black man with dreads who may or may not be wearing a red hat.

    From an economical standpoint, if these rappers make most of their money by doing shows, yet their shows get shot-up, doesn’t that cut into their bottom lines? Who would want to do trash music that invites violence, knowing that you can’t pack a stadium, anywhere you want to have the show, for fear of violence? Sounds counter productive, if you ask me.

    Have of you don’t have a clue about what’s going on. Violence associated with rap music events has nothing to do with the music, but more so to do with the individuals who attend, or for the most part “parking lot pimp” and flash on the people who have gone to have a good time. It has nothing to do with the music played. There could be a Omarion concert, and just as likely to get disrupted afterwards. I’m from Oakland California, and live in Las Vegas. I’ve seen event after event, after club get shut down because of a few fools who don’t got the s**t together causing havoc for everyone else. When a Ni**a got his sh*t together, he ain’t about to act up and jepeordize that. But when you feel less than the next that’s when the problem arises. Rap music is just a avenue that brings the best, and worst of people together. I was at a Lil Wayne concert last August in the Bay area, California, deep, and strapped nasty waiting for s**t to jump off as it usually does. But guess what? It didn’t. Don’t attempt to give rap music the blame for the problems we face as people, cause your only fooling yourself. I’ve seen Cat’s get killed at funerals so how do you explain that. The gunna don’t give a f**k about what’s playing on the loud speakers when he pop yo azz, So don’t get it twisted..

    That dude is wack. I’m not surprised though. Blacks don’t know how to be civil. I’m not speaking for everyone though…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/felicebois/ felicebois

    Ofcourse black people know how to people civil, it’s the criminals we should be concerned about – black and whites alike. Certainly ANY criminal is not a criminal just to be one; there is a cause for everything – something went wrong, somebody stopped caring and somebody gave up on a better way. Our strong men went off to college, started families, opened businesses and left the ignorant folks behind. And, for single parents out there doing their best, keep hanging on. http://www.moderndayblackmomma.com
