Shooting at Williamsburg Apts this am

Williamsburg....? is that by Northwest-Shoals?

No, Williamsburg is offof Avaln Ave. Close to the Wilson Dam Rd. intersection. It is behind Rainbow Pools

I have a friend who lives over there and this is "hear say"...but the guy shot was the neighbor and the shooters were kicked out of their apartment earlier in the week from alot of complaints from neighbors. So the victims apartment was shot up in revenge. Also heard that last night the victims truck was set on fire. MSPD came out on that inncident. Williamsburg is a really nice and quiet complex, just shows you that anything can happen.

That is a nice little complex that is for the most part quiet. Scary stuff can happen any where!

too many people are going crazy lately.

Dude that shot him should be hooked up with a Class B Felony.

Ok, so I live right beside the dude that got shot and underneath the dude that shot him. He did not get kicked out of the apt. because of complaints i dont think. And i dont believe the guy got shot because of him getting kicked out. I have my own ideas of why. The guy that got shot is a nice guy. He only got shot in his hand though so he should be ok. and yes the guy did try to set his truck on fire.

It might be your upbringing, but you shouldn't call anybody a "dude".

How old are you? I dont think using the word "dude" is the issue. get a life.

I live in Williamsburg Apts. and for the amount of rent I pay you'd think the other residents would be of a little better quality and class

I'm sure that you don't want to hear me start preaching (I'm no preacher), but I have been hearing that word out on the street for over 30 years. To some people that word is offensive as much as using the "n" word.

Instead of calling them "dude" why couldn't have said the "person that lives" or the "male/female that lives"

My friend if you walk up to someone that you personally know, you should call them by their name. Please don't say "HEY DUDE".

I personally feel like bringing slang language into everyday usuage is just one of the downfalls of our nation.

210, it's not just slang. Slang can be expressive used in the right context. It's the complete lack of an adequate vocabulary with which to express themselves.

Thanks, for adding the lack of an adequate vocabulary.

I assure you, money does not and cannot buy class. There are people in every neighborhood in the US that act as if they have had NO rasing at all.

bamablonde - . Seeing that you have first hand knowledge of the situation, your input is appreciated. My sister lived in these apartments for a long while and my cousin did also. They never had any type of problems.

when i clicked on this topic...i assumed it was a discussion on the topic "Shooting at Williamsburg Apts this am." i had no idea it had evolved into a self-rightious, anal and quite possibly banal attack on someone's usage of slang.

i'm just sayin'...DOOD..lay off. (and grow up)

Woah, DUDE! No freaking wonder you cant speak anymore without offending someone...people get pissy over the least little thing like saying DUDE instead of 'the guy that lives there'. Like it or not, DUDE is a very common way to talk about people today. I dont care what it may have meant 30 years ago. It may not be the most proper, but its not offensive in any way so I dont see any problem in using it.

Actually, I believe the individual that was shot was an innocent, Good Samaritan. I "heard" he was simply trying to help a girl in the building during a domestic dispute with the guy that shot him. Apparently, the man got mad at the individual who was trying to do a good deed...

I wonder what hurts more: calling someone a dude or getting hot lead in the hand??????????

I just wish some other dude would have saw what happened so the dude who shot the other dude would be sure not to get off easy. If this dude does not get punished he might shoot some other dude. This dude should really do some time in prison. Maybe there some other dudes could help him see that shooting another dude just isn't right. Know what I mean, dude?


210 N. Seminary, why don't you just lay off bamablonde? Just read what she wrote instead of being a language critic. It's pretty annoying when we are trying to read about a serious situation, then have to see you correct spelling or grammar. Get a grip and grow up.

210, why do you feel the need to call down so many other people on the forums? i'm not a particular fan of the word 'dude' either, but goodness gracious! why do you do this?

you did this exact same thing on another thread - your first comment was taking someone to task for welcoming me to the forums. you had nothing to say about the actual thread topic. and then on another thread, you called out 'roofer' about about a comment you totally mistook the meaning of, demanding he explain to you what he meant (when most everyone else already understood what he meant). if you have something real to say, by all means, say it. but why do you feel the need to be the forum etiquette police?

what is motivating you to do these things?

sorry, friends, for getting off track. 210 is just getting on my cyber nerve. i honestly don't understand why 210 does this. third time's a charm; i had to say something.

Interesting point, hoss gal. You've given us all something to think about, Bub!

i'm beginning to wonder if 210 is a psychology student, tasked with performing an experiment on an unsuspecting populace. 'A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF RATHER POMPOUS SCOLDING ON UNDESERVING ADULTS' or something like that.
