Alright, you guys might not care about this at all, but i'm just informing you that i am in the most surreal moment right now. I live in Seattle, WA and last night, Halloween, i was told that somebody was shot near my school (Garfield High School) in the central district. I was joking with my friend that it was probably this kid quincy, and now i regret saying that, because it actually was him that was shot and killed. i don't really know what to do right now, but he was well known at our school for rapping in a group called Shankbone and selling drugs. there is a huge conflict going on right now and basically a gang war might erupt.

Rest in peace quincy

"but he was well known at our school for rapping in a group called Shankbone and selling drugs"

not to be an ass, but as far as I see its just the consequence of his poor life choices.

a consequence, yes. but there are drug dealers everywhere, only a few of them get shot and killed. and at that age, it's a tragedy no matter what. you say you're not trying to be an ass, but you are.

peter,
prayers go out. I was stoked hearing their music, I hope they can still keep on going with quincy gone.

yeah, no one can be held completely liable for their poor choices at 16, and they surely don't deserve to die for them.  quincy was a nice guy, he just grew up in a bad situation, and hung out with the wrong crowd no matter how cliche that sounds.

matt, next time you come to seattle, gimme a call and i can give you a cd.  quincy wasn't a major member, but was featured on a couple of tracks.

wow you are a douche

of course it was a consequence, but we're just trying to remember him for the good kid he was on the inside.

if anyone wants to buy a Quincy Coleman Shirt, they're 20 dollars, and all the proceeds go to his family. Thanks for starting this thread peter

so he sells drugs and his death is the result of a war going on between gangs meaning he was most likely in one... sounding less and less like a tragedy and more of just a dumb life choice. sucks regardless though.

not to be an ass to the OP, but i agree.

it's definitely tragic, but it is his fault for falling into that crowd of people.

^^^ man FUCK YOU.

being in "that crowd" is stereotypical as can be. selling drugs these days isn't shit.

I see some of the most straight edge kids trying to sell half's of bud to make a dollar all the time now. more and more frequently too.

as far as the gang war...it said a gang war would soon erupt. not necessarily gang violence.

really? if youre in a gang, thats a tad different than being a "straight edge" kid selling some bud to his friends. get some fucking sense before you say something retarded. also again, it sucks that happened but you choose your life style, you pay what comes with it.
