They argue that all of this violent stem from the vaguest shooting the big issue. As far as gang members were concerned, wasn't the attack on Tupac. It was the attempt on symbol, life night was seen as a symbol of the pirates. They wrote shoe get him was an act of epic disrespect disrespect one! You disrespect all although nobody was killed in that cluster shootings and allay gang detectives, were overwhelmed with all those crime seems to visit couldn't keep an eye on known gang hotspots in with the cops otherwise occupied.

other wars that have existed between the pirates ethnic groups, but I mean this was definitely an intense conflict. No one was charged with any of those kids things. Instead of making a few targeted arrest, law enforcement went bigger, it began before dawn. The crime sweet involve three hundred officers, ten agencies, including the FBI, at more than thirty seven locations in the content. When a long beach areas police say the arrests were for local crimes in connection with twelve shootings that occurred in the city of Compton.

Hours of October, second, twenty three people were arrested that day One of them was Orlando Anderson, the South side crib who to pocket gone after in LAS Vegas Anderson, was arrested on suspicion of an earlier murder that wasn't related. The two pox shook night was arrested later that month, we helped to part B.

On a Lando Anderson he'd, violated the terms of this problem. Foreign earlier fault charge. He was placed him up Angeles County jail to await sentencing should have been born in Compton he grown up around gangs and it brought gang members along with him when he became a successful businessmen. It was predictable An attack on him would give rise to recur imminent soy violence that The pattern in Compton for very long time Parkes murder was also seen in the context of another bow. This one was, rivalry between EAST Coast in West Coast that conflict. It only gonna to get serious with the Clyde studio, shooting a nineteen. Ninety four: it was a clear how that feed would play out. Ninety ninety six in the wake of two Pox murder, There be recriminations there too,. Nine days after two packs death, the nation of his convened what he called a day of atonement for the hip, hop community it

the sad period, but it was something that was not totally a shock and, as an activist and as a minister I knew instinctively. The community needed healing. That's reverent, Conrad till who was then known as Conrad Mohammed. He was the man stir the nation of islamic mosque. In Harlem too many he was known as the Hip hop minister, till it was arising star in the nation of Islam, which was in the it's. The resurgence the nation had real influence and black communities in the Eightys and Ninetys.

There's a memorial for the wrapper and as an opportunity death row and bad boy to reconcile, but he also wanted hip hop in it

audience to mend their ways, we were in the sea then of atonement the million men March. That just happen, and it was right note for what young people needed at that time It turned out to be a blessing that it rain that day, because by five thousand people came- and you know we Didn'T- have room for everyone. We put speakers outside and so and people stayed in the rain. The problem was. The major players in the feud showed puffy said he would come and biggie it would bring biggie, and I told him I said this is important. You need to be here because I have gotten word: some death row, people we're gonna, be there and he said I'll be there and I mean the coup de grass tat. They would have been puffy and biggie. There.

Most of the represent in attendance veterans who made their bones before gangster rap existed among them Grandmaster Flash block all well what it was made.
