"Ramirez said they were walking the canal around 3 a.m. Sunday, when they got into a racially charged argument with another group of people: four men and a woman.
He said one guy pulled a gun and said he did too, but that the two groups talked it out and all walked away.
Minutes later though, shots rang out along Canal Court. Whitaker was hit.
"I was actually holding her when it happened," Ramirez said. "She just fell. I turned around, and I opened fire too. But that's just a reaction. I didn't see nobody. I didn't hopefully I didn't hit nobody."
Like I said, it's sad, but they all pulled guns, so hard to feel bad.
Yeah, I appreciate you taking the time. There’s so much absolute trash going around that is clearly race baiting nonsense. You’re correct. If you draw you need to be ready to shoot.
If the other party drew. And he pulled his out to counter. Then the situation de-escalates and one party walls away to be shot in the back down the road.... They didn't have it coming. I appreciate the fact we're trying to be reasonable and not just support them because they're on our side. But that's bullshit
Maybe if the shooting happened when guns were pulled. But after that point it's some bitch shit. Especially in the back, far removed from the conflict. That's some stuff joggers like to do
Thanks for the breakdown. Where can I find supporting reporting of this?

Don't get me wrong, it's horribly sad that this young woman died, but to say it was because she said "All Lives Matter" is bullshit.
It was young guys flexing gone wrong. Happens every single day in America and no one cares til it fits their narrative.
Absolutely and thank you for clarifying.
If the other party drew. And he pulled his out to counter. Then the situation de-escalates and one party walls away to be shot in the back down the road.... They didn't have it coming.

Yeah, that's not how it works in real life. You pull a gun and you aren't ready to use it, you don't get to cry when the other group isn't posers.
Maybe if the shooting happened when guns were pulled. But after that point it's some bitch shit. Especially in the back, far removed from the conflict. That's some stuff joggers like to do
