[@334ben10]

Her age most likely got her off easy but being a accomplice is just as bad as committing the crime in the eye of the law and no matter what is told to you can not seek revenge which is what they did. If she was older “ traditionally” the one who sets the person to be murdered is given the most time

That’s back when a woman could get her boyfriend, brother or cousin to murder you and she would get off with a lighter sentence or scott free because a brother and cousin are not going to tell. The boyfriend maybe 🤔 but not the family.

[@youngblood4127]

Great video. Merlin Santana had the complete package. I feel like Merlin and Tupac created an archetype for young black actors in the 90's, that would play out into the 2000's and 2010's. Young, Charismatic, looks, artistic depth, street smart/hood ideal with crossover appeal.

[@Rondondemarco]

FACTS in fact Merlin low-key reminded me of pac. I met Merlin at LAx airport like a year before he got murked. He was a real down to earth dude. He was swole as hell in person too, it actually stood out like someone that was admiral just by the physique alone. He was with a female and wearing a beater. I can picture him vividly. He was real charismatic in person just like the TV. RIP to bro.

[@vsnrygaming8954]

There was a story similar to this around my way. A well known local basketball star named "K" and his boy hooked up with some chicks at a hotel. After hooking up, the guys refused to take them home and kicked them out of the hotel room to find thier way home. One of the girls lied and said they were S.A'd. The girls' brother and another guy later came to the hotel room with a shotgun and shot K in the neck close range. K ran after getting shot didn't get far and collapsed and died K's friend was able to escape. I was 17 at the time and K was 21. This tragedy taught me a valuable lesson. When it comes to lust and women, Just because you could doesn't always mean you should. It could cost you your life.

She did it cuz she was a lost one. Daddy issues and for the streets. Yet she got into something she didn't want anything to do with in the first place. I don't think assault happened. But I think consensual sex was had. Now that ain't legal cuz she 15 but she lied about it being non consensual or that she was forcibly r word. She wanted to do it and then felt bad about the sex cuz of the difference in age but instead of going to the police she did the dumbest thing ever.

[@86Firebird]

@@simpleysimsif she didn’t want to get into it in the first place then she wouldn’t have called the shooters and set him up. Don’t make her a victim too. She played along the whole time. She went there and faked being drunk and set them up. Also, you don’t know if she had “daddy issues”. Even if she did, that’s not an excuse to set someone up to be killed. Don’t be a street therapist. She deserves life in prison, as well as the two junkies that killed him.

[@simpleysims]

@86Firebird it's hard for a 15 year old to make a decision and truly decide if it's something they want to do or not. When they about 17, 18, 19 yes. But some 15 yr olds still in middle school. Complete blame goes to her. Wasn't trying to make excuses for her. But that's the world as I see it. When I was 15 I wanted to fit in. And that's what she did. She faked drunk to fit in. Lied about her age to fit in. If she really wanted to be drunk she would have. But maybe her not actually drinking was that indecisiveness along with apprehensivenss. Still not a victim. That's why I said she did the dumbest thing which is what a criminal would do.

Because it doesn't happen anywhere near as often as yall like to pretend it does. Men killing other men and women is as common as breathing here, maybe you all should check your violent tendencies. Why are men so quickly and easily able to end another mans life for trivial reasons? No accountability ​@@CALIISRUTHLESSPT1

The law needs to stop being so easy on women. She should've gotten life too. they let women get away with everything.

That area of South L.A. near Crenshaw is known as "the jungle." This has taught me to trust your gut feelings and to be cautious with whom you meet

This story always bothered me. Who shoots up a house on the word of a homeless girl that they just met? I didn't and still dont buy it.

[@matheuslemos8555]

It wasn't a house. The guy shot up the car, because he was dealing with this inhumane human being smh

Can’t link with random woman it’s too dangerous FR

Yes! I don't know what he saw in her but the lesson in this is if you're doing well in life do not hang out with low lifes. You don't have anything in common.

Many men locked up or dead today trying to show out for some female, who eventually forgets about them and moves on with her life.... smh...

I get what you mean but in this case she said she was assaulted

[@torachan23]

​@pleaseshutup7053 So? She should've went to the police. It's foolish to believe a woman at face value, especially if something bad supposedly happened to them and they didn't go to the police first
