A long time ago I saw a guy get stabbed to death in Oakland CA too. Gang related.
I was walking through aneighborhood in the foothill area near a high school with my friend. Suddenly I see a fat guy with blood all over him come running out from around the corner, he had already been stabbed, then some other guy came around the corner chasing him. He caught up with him and stabbed him a few more times in the stomach. He kept yelling "Wassup then Scrap! Wassup then Scrap!". Scrap is an insult to the X3 gang, so it was a gang thing.
Then he ran away. The guy that got stabbed slowly died, when the ambulance came after a little while the guy's mouth was hanging wide open and he was out.
Oakland CA = paradise
