This particular gang and the members in it protect each other like family. That being said, one of the female gang members had spent two days looking for the two teenagers. She ended up finding them in the City for Palm Springs in a vacant lot. Upon her arrival she took out a firearm and fired multiple rounds at the two teenagers. One of the boys was hit in the shoulder while the other was struck in the throat.

I don’t understand. You said that you didn’t want any contact with me, and I agree that’s best, as your malignant hatred toward me is palpable. You have even spread it to innocent bystanders: Jenny at the bank; the appraiser; my attorney; the closing attorney; etc. Therefore, I'm puzzled as to why you chose the one event that you know I look forward to every year, enjoy immensely (haven’t missed in 12 years!), and am certain to be at, to attend?

Consider the story of Kitty Genovese: Kitty was an average woman. She lived in New York, had a job as a bartender, was well liked in her community, however on March 13, 1964 Kitty was was brutally raped and murdered right outside of her apartment building.

My best friend, Malory, and I have been best friends for twelve years. Malory was like the sister I never had. We did absolutely everything together; you very rarely spotted one of us without the other tagging along. Sadly, in March of 2014 my best friend was stolen from me. The thief’s name was Jordan.

When you were around them you couple almost feel the love in the room, and when they looked at each other you could see the sparkle in their eyes.

Of course she said yes, but that was the day I realized I was going to have to give my best friend away to her better half.
