    Re: My cousin Courtney "The 24th Letter" in stable condition after being shot

    I live in the University area of Charlotte, some call it north I
    guess..... but this happened in East Charlotte near the Plaza.

    I was just getting some gas man,

    So im walking up to the store to pay and see this group of
    guys....wannabe gang members, I actually knew one of them from school back in the day anyway. So as I walk by, the guy I know steps out to dap me up (or
    shake hands) all the sudden POP! POP! POP!

    it feels like I just got a flaming sword stuck through my back to my
    stomach ....I mean I know thats a weird way to describe it, but thats the
    only way to define the piercing\burning sensation I got.....after
    that, I cant remember what happened.

    I dont remember hitting my head but I obviously fell straight down to
    the concrete because I was also treated for a large gash on my forhead
    as well....

    it was just crazy man....

    Turns out I was caught in a "crossfire" of gang related shooting.
    you know what the thing is? the guy that I knew "refused to snitch" and thats what had and still has me heated, even though the shooter ended up turning himself in....18 year old kid man...

    anyway, thats what happened... more or less....I dont feel like getting TOO detailed

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              Dude, you are a lucky man.

              It wasn't your time. Perhaps God knows your child needs you. Prepare to be a great dad and let us know when your child is born.
              "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

                      That's some crazy crap man. Glad that you made it out ok. Oh, and this is why I don't like the whole "don't snitch" coda that some people live by. It's a good thing the kid turned himself in.

                                Man I want some details (I'm a sucker for too detailed), but that effed up. It's crazy but a lot of times that's how it happens, people getting caught in the crossfire. In any case I am glad you're gonna be okay man, I know exactly how your family must have felt when that went down.
