What the fuck? See, this is what makes me hate Omaha right here.........people just fucking shoot at you for no reason.

I would like to know what the hell Veland was doing in North O though anyways........

i remember about 10 years ago, some Husker got shot at 27th and vine or so...I don't believe there was a purpose behind that one either.

I remember when Abdul Muhammed got shot way back in like 1992 or 93.............of course he was visiting his hometown of Compton at the time

I think this is what I was thinking of (i was off)

Riley Washington, a junior wingback, continues to practice with the Cornhuskers despite having been charged with attempted second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony in connection with the Aug. 2 shooting of 22-year-old Jermaine Cole at a Lincoln convenience store. Cole told Lincoln police that he and Nebraska undergraduate assistant football coach Abdul Muhammad were fighting when Washington pulled his gun and fired, saying, "Your life is gone." On Sept. 11, two days before Washington pleaded not guilty to both counts, Osborne said, "I think there is a very, very good chance that Riley didn't do what he's accused of. I've talked to a lot of people.... I feel pretty comfortable about Riley's case."

Veland went to Benson. It's his neighborhood. It was only 9:00 pm. If it was 2:00 am I would be questioning his judgement.

Fucking north omaha dude. Jesus. I'd rather drive through compton.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I guess my question then is why does he still live in North Omaha..........I seriously duck down in my car just driving through that neighborhood so I don't get hit by any stray bullets

 

[huskers1217]

y'all some scared ****as....come to Houston where we really know how ta bang.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

lol.......North Omaha has been labeled as one of the most violent parts of any cities in the Midwest actually........it has gotten drastically worse over the past decade.

I've been to the ghetto in Chicago, NYC, and D.C., and I don't see much of a difference with the exception of them being bigger.

He was apparently shot on 52nd and NW Radial. That's about 2 blocks from where one of my sisters lives and across the street from where my niece (other sister's) just graduated from high school. It's not great in that area but certainly not the worse in town. You gotta go a mile or so east and north of there for the bad stuff.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Oh I thought it was 44th street

Ive lived in some big cities out west but the poverty stricken ghettos in the midwest are much worse. Omaha is pretty bad in comparison, Little Rock and Memphis are terrible. They're all ranked up there for violent crime nationwide.
