Extreme overnight violence in Rhode Island

When will Woonsocket put an end to the Drug and Gang related violence in the city? This shooting according to words of the victims friends is gang related, by the gang called as the Outfitters. We need to all work together as neighbors to make the stand that this will not be tolerated. This is another sad ending to a 17 year old young mans life that should have not happened. Good Parenting is also needed across the whole country. If we as parents know what our child is doing we need to be a strong role model, giving positive influence in their lives.

Yeah thats why you dont put ur name up huh? you fucking piece of shit. Brandon was a good kid who did go down teh wrong path. I knew him my whole life and when he got out of training school he was doing right. So when you got the balls to say ur name then get the balls to come see me

Awww some wittle a-h*ole went down the wong path...He was 17, old enough to know better.I'm not an outsider either. I lived at the corner of Hamlet and Mason for quite a few years. I seen and heard alot of sh*t. Quit making excuses because the little dumba$$ went and got himself shot up. My little niece has a boyfriend headed for the same path and I keep warning her that she should open her eyes and leave him alone or she may end up like this kid.Would it hurt me? Hell yea! Would it be her own stupid fault? Absolutley! These kids want to act all "grown up" by carrying around guns and killing people. They should grow up for real and stop the BS!Get a real job and put the drugs down. Contribute to society instead of take away from it. Friggin losers!

I completely agree that Woonsocket...pretty much all the urban cities in Rhode Island are getting out of control with the gangs and drugs and whatnot, but let's be serious guys, a kid, no matter how fucked up, doesn't deserve to die. Jail maybe, but not death.
