Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't bring back the dead or heal the wounded. This is the latest mass shooting in the United States. This effects the hip-hop community and also the Black community. A well-known rapper was gunned down in Los Angeles by a terrorist. The entertainment industry offers nothing but the same old sympathy. Lawmakers offer nothing more than the same usual word vomit of "my heart going out to" and "our prayers."
The only people who have that right to say sympathy is the family of Ermias Asghedom.
The death of entertainer Nipsey Hussle has gotten America's attention.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and the 53 U.S. lawmakers who represent California won't do a damn thing about gun violence. Matter of fact, the only thing we're going to hear is "who deserves the blame?" for this tragedy.
Let's first get the sympathy out the way. The chief of the Los Angeles Police Department Michel Moore said this murder will not go unsolved. He promises that people will be arrested.
Tonight's homicide in South LA represents the latest loss in a troubling surge in violence. Since last Sunday 26 victims have been shot & 10 homicides—that's 36 families left picking up the pieces. We will work aggressively with our community to quell this senseless loss of life. pic.twitter.com/1fsJXCcflS— Chief Michel Moore (@LAPDChiefMoore) April 1, 2019
Wow. I don’t even know what to say. I’m confused. Nipsey and I had just started really getting to know each other. I feel honored to have worked on his project. Nipsey represents change, he represents evolution, he represents everything our culture needs to embrace. pic.twitter.com/BN9240BYwK— Diddy (@Diddy) April 1, 2019

Okay, you see a whole lot of entertainers come out with sympathy and condolences towards Nipsey.
His life was tragically stolen by some domestic terrorist. Nipsey Hussle was trying to build his community up.
CNN reports that the police believe the attack was a personal matter and not gang related at this time.
Two other people were injured in the shooting around 3:20 p.m., according to the department.
The shooting occurred in the area of Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard.
The victims were transported to a hospital, where one of them was pronounced dead, according to police. The other two were in stable condition, police added.
In a tweet, the department said it has no information about the suspect. They said that the suspect is a Black man who is 5'5 to 5'11. They have no other clues and they're checking video footage for the leads.
The rapper's last message on Twitter read: "Having strong enemies is a blessing."
He made moves outside the music industry, too. Last year he launched the first Marathon Clothing smart store at 3420 W. Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles. He also owned The Marathon Agency, SC Commercial Ventures, Proud 2 Pay and All Money In No Money Out Records, according to Press Atlantic Records.
His Facebook page says Hussle was "a devout member of the Rolling Sixty Crips," a national street gang that was founded in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s.
His page lists Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur as some of his influences.
Before his death, he was hoping to work in the city to end domestic terrorism. The gangs that plague Los Angeles have led to multiple deaths.

The shooting of Nipsey Hussle. The latest mass shooting in America. The suspect was caught. Who actually deserves the blame? (Expect the dumbest answers to picked by trolls)
