    I actually was coming out of this store a few seconds before the shooting took place.... I could hear some yelling and resistance from the victim..... and to think the only thing this man was trying to do is cash his SSI check and was unalived behind the store..... sad situation all around.... RIP to the man who lost his life

    Death penalty for gang members and repeat offenders. I don't care about age.
