If you're unfamiliar with the phenomenon, it's where a flash mob barricades off a few blocks of a major thoroughfare so that people can do burnouts and throw down for street races and whatnot. It generally happens in the not-so-nice parts of town, so it's not like any city councilmen or CEOs are likely to have their evenings disrupted.
Anyway, along MLK between 25th and 29th, the shenanigans happen frequently of a Sunday evening. This time, during the impromptu block party, a couple dudes had a beef, the beef escalated into a fight, someone pulled out their popper and opened fire, and next thing you know everybody was apparently blazing away...
I feel sorry for the residents who may live along MLK there. But the attendees?
As the great John Farnam says, "Don't go stupid places and do stupid things with stupid people" and attending an illegal street racing party packed with armed and intoxicated people would seem to be a textbook example of just that.
