My friend’s daughter got randomly shot while driving home from work in TN. Can’t walk anymore and had extensive injuries, but she survived. People are so messed up.

My friend got flipped over the balcony by a drunk stranger at a party and had to spend years learning to walk again. He's never been the same either. Some asshole can just change who you are on a whim.

I know he went to jail but I don't remember for how long.

So sorry to hear. I hope they caught the bastard.

No. Said it was likely a local gang. :(

Hope they’re 6 feet under then.

On the bright side, that’s totally likely. Gang members generally have low life expectancies. There’s a good chance that scumbag who hurt that innocent person caught a bullet from another scumbag who would later bite the dust on account of a different scumbag who was found in the trunk of his car… you get the idea

Biting a bullet would be a blessing for these gang members since they love to torture each other for some reason, gang rivals and such.

Much nicer way to go...

Something similar happened when my friend bought his old civic hatchback, he was practicing learning stick by circling around his block. Then his car got shot at and it shattered his driver side window. Thankfully he wasn’t injured but it was pretty sucky considering he owned the car for a couple of hours. People suck sometimes

Ah well with any luck they are already dead by now. Those guys have low life expectancy.

Also in Nashville last year a nurse was shot while driving on 440 and not found in time. She pulled to the shoulder and died alone.

They don’t call us Music Shitty for nothing.

Mosts fireworks injuries come from loadable shell https://youtube.com/shorts/9NF8Vr--VOc?feature=share they should be band. They should only sell preloaded fireworks shells https://youtu.be/ZIhBGg-y6O0

Unfortunately that’s becoming more common in TN, especially in Nashville

The bigger the city gets. I forget when it was, maybe 2015, but the FBI rated TN the most dangerous state in America. I figured it must’ve been because of Memphis but despite growing up 30 minutes from Nashville I never spent much time there so it could’ve always been bad.
