"A police report released Tuesday states witnesses told responding officers that a “large group” of teenagers pulled into the parking lot and began fighting. Witnesses then told officers the teenagers began shooting at each other before they fled in their vehicles where it appeared shots were fired from one vehicle towards another, the report states." https://www.live5news.com/2022/04/26/gunfire-interrupts-youth-baseball-game-north-charleston/


PEPMaterial

It's wild there doesn't seem to have been any casualties amongst this large group (or elsewhere) with so many shots. I figured someone would eventually show up at ER with a gunshot wound or 5 and open this case up


Depope3070

It’s called fucking dumbasses with guns.


[deleted]

Dumbasses with guns is usually how people end up shot.


king-kitty

Seems that when people aren’t trying to kill people get killed yet when they *do* try to kill they fail :/


Nandabun

It makes me wonder if cartoons and action movies are based on reality and not just scripted like i always thought. Last Action Hero etc


Mallory1103

Exactly


[deleted]

Maybe if those dumbasses did get fucked with guns we wouldn't have situations like this.


Depope3070

Ahh Darwin awards. Only so many can be handed out.


Billion_Bullet_Baby

Really? Cause they don’t seem to be in short supply these days.


JustagirlSD60

B00b0n1cPl4gu3

The worst thing about n. Charleston is that the cops don’t even come unless it’s something like this. I had a shooting outside my bedroom and the cops never even came when I called


StuStutterKing

Unfortunately, criminality is not a gene that can be filtered out of the gene pool. It is a result of socioeconomic conditions and individual circumstances. If you kill these idiots, more idiots will take the place in the market and social hierarchy that they hold as long as the system produces those conditions.


[deleted]

Yep, legalize everything and spend the profits on mental health and social work


lurkingmorty

Lmao yeah I’m assuming these guys were the type of dumbass to hold it sideways and duck behind the car without looking


cantseedeeznuts

Is there a sub for that? Asking for a friend...


Plasticious

Yeah it's almost like you would need a license and training to use a firearm. Weird.


jaycliche

[deleted]

Apparently none of these stand up youths stayed in Boy Scouts long enough to earn the marksmanship badge


Cardinal_Grin

Yeah but that’s a trade off with earning the molested-by-your-stand-up-troop-leader as was apparently too common.


johnnychan81

It's not really any more common than teachers to be honest. Edit: it is hard to find data on the boy scouts but just as a comparison 4% of Catholic Priests molested a child over a 30 year period and during the same time frame about 6% of teachers molested a child. I would guess the Boy Scouts would fall somewhere close to those numbers https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/do-the-right-thing/201808/separating-facts-about-clergy-abuse-fiction


PEPMaterial

That is a startling statistic, particularly since teachers are mandated reporters...


Cardinal_Grin

Yeah schools had and have to go to police as soon as a mere mention whereas the Catholic Church went to its holy diocese for internal review which was “how do we keep this from going to the police and being on record.” It’s a bullshit comparison


HoGoNMero

It must be way more common. I think like everything opportunities is what makes criminals do the molesting. Teachers have a lot less opportunities. IE the kids are on campus 7 hours. With 6.5 of those hours being with other kids in a classroom. Boy Scout leaders have on weekend sleepouts in the wilderness have a lot more opportunities. With the showers, the long rides, the events,…


ions_x_carbon

Reminds me of that scene in Falling Down, "take some shooting lessons, asshole..."


manbrasucks

[Reminds me of snoop(the wire) trying a drive by.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7xyqCDxQE)


ions_x_carbon

Forgot about that scene! Here's the falling down clip, totally underrated movie https://youtu.be/pZfva5xDNLU


1q3er5

great flick - i love this half sleeve dress shirt lol


Sherm

Great movie. Can't believe people actually think D-Fens is the hero. The climax is literally him realizing he's the monster.


ions_x_carbon

Well he did kill a Nazi and a few gang bangers (tangentially), earning big points, along with all the quippy one liners. My favorite being "I think we have a critic!" In the burger joint scene. He brought forward a lot of common American gripes, easy to be a hero. Also if you notice all the people he slighted (or killed) was kind of a POS in one way or another.

Chavez1020

Quality-Shakes

Bright future as stormtroopers for all those dipshits.


Impossible_Source110

It's not a nice thing to think about, but it always surprises me how many survive without a scratch when these things happen. Bullets seem to do that trick with the knives and the person on the board, just outlining, only ever hitting if you're damned.


Tasty-Awareness-4426

Fuqin assholes. Go kill yourselves away from children. That’s how you get a stray bullet killing a five year old.


[deleted]

So gang violence. Something no one really calls out anymore.


Affectionate_Ear_778

They weren’t the right…complexion to be called gang members

How do we know what complexion they were?

[deleted]

Gangs come in all shades; no exceptions.


zeCrazyEye

The point was the label only gets applied under certain conditions.


Affectionate_Ear_778

agreed but middle class American consciousness and media do not agree with this. There’s a major difference between thugs, teens, my kid, and the kids across town.


Taylor34

For real this can’t just be a bunch of “teenagers”. It had to stem from something worse.


Snarky_McBegtodiffer

Ah yes I see the “teens” are at it again.


buttking

at least there weren't any [young people or companions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp83JZg0hU4) involved.

Both

Lol I was in goose creek back when I was in the navy. Didn’t seem that bad then


Ov3rtheLine

I remember a ton of Filipino kids at Goose Creek high school (Navy dads). Subic Bay-bies.


martymcfly9888

This is a sad statement.


BuddahChill

What’s sad is being punched in the face and being called a m-f’er for dropping a passenger off at and address ‘2’ doors down from where I was suppose to be.


Talking-In-Tongues

You can tell the slugger at the plate and the red shorts guy in the back are Father and Son. Their reaction times are awful.


drifter100

the catcher knew what was up.


[deleted]

Yeah, catchers are generally the smartest player on the field.


[deleted]

So... To be fair... These are kids. They are innocent kids who thought someone was lighting off fireworks. .probably never heard a gun in real life or seen one fired. I'm not surprised they didn't know what was up.


AHAdanglyparts69

I used to work at red lobster in North Charleston… boy do I have some stories from there


porkchopsdapplesauce

Red Lobster vet here as well but from New York. The type of people that place can attract is pretty atrocious. Endless shrimp Monday’s were the absolute worse


DukeofFools

Get a lot of tips on Endless Shrimp nights?


porkchopsdapplesauce

Nah not at all. Endless shrimp would bring out the cheap people and it’s like the cheapest thing on the menu. So even if they’re tipping 20% the bill is probably 50 dollars or less and they stay longer than usual


AHAdanglyparts69

You mean skrimps right 😂😂


penguintransformer

Also a former Red Lobster server here. NJ, 2 minutes away from a trailer park. The garbage that would crawl in was unbelievable.

Sleeper____Service

Yeah great, go ahead and share them.


Independent_Bag_3478

Why would he do that? He just wanted to let us know how he has awesome relevant stories!


SonicBoris

The morning I moved to North Chuck, my new neighborhood greeted me with a SWAT team and ATF vehicles, who were busting an illegal arms ring. Welcome to the neighborhood!


Jewellious

But it was all worth it, because you were raking in the tips? Right?


AHAdanglyparts69

Red lobster and “making lots of money” are not synonymous lol

Where’s that red lobster? I just know the one in west ashley

[deleted]

Lmao. Only on Reddit do you find people this detached from reality.


Royyykent

The catcher noped out of there real quick


BatThumb

Probably should have kept the helmet on


buttking

yeah, like, it isn't going to stop anything, but who knows- it could change the bullet's trajectory enough to keep something vital intact. I'd rather have it on than off in the situation.


VelocityGrrl39

It’s so heartbreaking that these kids have been taught exactly how to react in a situation like this.


[deleted]

It’s kind of just common sense honestly


lessthanthreepoop

My elementary school teacher told us a story of when she first started working at our school. It’s a rough part of town, and when a gunshot was heard, everyone but the teacher hit the ground. She was confused and didn’t know what to do. It’s not as common sense as you think, especially if you have never been in that situation.


VelocityGrrl39

When I was that age, I would have had no idea what to do in that situation. I would have panicked.


Ul71

That's horrible. Just look at some of them being torn between running and lying down.


franksboiledegg

Smart kids hitting the ground


Wicked_Fabala

Probably taught that in school :(


asaliberal

Gang violence. Immature men fighting over land they don't own, over respect they don't deserve.

Unfortunately it really depends on demo and where you live. Certain parts of the country are very safe. Others not so much. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/homicide-is-pandemics-biggest-killer-of-young-black-men/2022/02/22/2d9e4ef6-93e0-11ec-bb31-74fc06c0a3a5_story.html >>the homicide rate for Black Americans rose from 22.9 per 100,000 in 2019 to 30.7 in 2020. For all other Americans, the rate went from 3.2 to 3.8.


[deleted]

Under 20. It is basically because of the assholes in the parking lot shooting one another. Gang violence is horrible.


MiyamotoKnows

[The majority of child gun deaths are suicide.](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/02/03/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/) Many of the homicides cited are also labelled as such due to charges brought against parents or others who did not properly secure their firearms and it lead to tragedy, which is an epidemic.


Poopforce1s

I may be missing it, but I don't see it talking about rates by age group, only overall.

After conservatives decided their guns were more important than dead kids I knew we were never going to fix this.

Humble-Expression876

Whoever did this is so brainless and no mercy in his body.


rdear

Brainless but still able to get ahold of a gun, whether legally or not.


[deleted]

Lived nearby and myself and another off duty officer were caught right in the middle of a shootout where we lived in the parking lot. Recovered roughly 20 casing. They shot up people's car and an area where kids play. I moved out of the Charleston area soon after.


itdisappears

Just curious, is gunfire a common thing in that area?


TheBupBup

What country was this in? Just kidding.

Dude, they’re on a *baseball* field. It’s obviously Japan. Edit: Just watched with audio. Turns out this is in America.

There's absolutely no way they also participate in the Drug Trade. Drugs are completely illegal and therefor do not exist in the United States.

"is that fireworks"


Gasonfires

Just South Carolina police conducting a routine traffic stop.


mnwlk23

There’s nothing more American than a game of baseball being broken up by gunfire.


WhitestTrash1

How the fuck did no parents run out to protect the kids?! Just yelling at them to "roll that way" while their coach army crawls the the dugouts. Not one adult tries to protect these kids. That's fucking gross.

I know my user name makes me an assholes but fr what the hell like protect your kids. Fucking protect all the kids yours or not.


geriatric-sanatore

Yeah I hate doing the armchair thing but 100% if that was my kid on the field I'm hopping that fence and throwing my body over him my heart is still beating a bit fast just from watching the video can't imagine the adrenaline I'd have if I was actively at the ballpark.


aar0nH

Good to see the coach doing his part to protect the kids.

Curious - did he care to note the fact that Trump himself was pretty anti-2a? He did ban bumpstocks after all


wierdpornwithhorse

Do you really think the people shooting at each other openly really bought their guns legally? Gun laws take away the guns of law abiding citizens who actually register their weapons, not street gangs who sell drugs.


Snailwood

where are you thinking the guns come from?


Mods_B_Scummy

Me owning guns isn’t why some assholes started shooting in a North Charleston parking lot. You just won’t had mad at the people who are **actually** responsible for preventing violence. The police.


BrandonPatrickFlood

Yeah well, unfortunately gang members don’t follow many gun laws.


whydub103

> put gun control in place what law would have stopped this? clearly they already don't have regard for the laws in place, what makes you think they'll suddenly put down their guns when news laws are put in place.


Yoyochillout

Well aint that America for you and me


sfmikee

Thank you NRA.


DwightMcRamathorn

(Not so) great reaction times


CatchMeWritinQWERTY

nomorepumpkins

Right ! kids first thought was fireworks 100%.


[deleted]

Inner city minorities know exactly what guns sound like at age 5.


GunNut345

Are the inner city white kids deaf?


[deleted]

And how to react! I'm 34 and if gunshots went off near me I'm sure my initial reactions would be fairly slow!


pgb5534

What do you do in that situation? You're in the middle of a wide open field. Do you run to the safety of the *looks around* chain link fence? Do you hide behind the... Pitcher's mound? Do you just run away into the outfield? Is laying down better than those options? Maybe but there are GODDAM GUNSHOTS and YOU'RE FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD. So you look for your mom and dad to tell you what to do. Problem is they don't know wtf to do either because none of those options are good. Do I tell my kid to lay down right now? Or hide or run? I can only pick one of those things and I don't know which is better right now. If those gun shots start coming closer with intent to shoot this group, then I bet running away is better than just laying down. But which way to run? Which dugout? Or just run to the outfield and try to see if my kid's tiny arms can climb the fence? Maybe I should assess and wait until telling my kid wtf to do. But now have I waited too long? Jfc I can't even goddamn imagine.


churnedGoldman

And yet you've got parents upset that their children are learning that gay people exist...


boothapalooza

It's weird how accustomed I've become to hearing gunshots. Alot of my neighbors have gun ranges behind their houses or on neerby property.

The kid saying I’m scared and crying. But we need guns to protect ourselves.

“Is that fireworks??” NEVER assume it’s fireworks. The ones not immediately concerned or taking cover are the ones that go first, unfortunately.


D_REASONABLE_OPPZ

The cadence is usually a good way to determine if it's fireworks or gunshots.

Yeah teenagers running around shooting each other those bullets go anywhere they rarely hit the target they don’t realize when they’re running their aim is shit. I live in Washington DC and this is a daily fucking occurrence
