...the hell is wrong with people in my city?
The ignorance of loading up people (and weapons) to go confront some other broad over a cell phone and a man is one thing, putting a child (let alone eightchildren) in that situation is beyond reprehensible.

Eleven people were arrested Tuesday after an argument between two groups of people over a cell phone erupted into a gun battle that left two men wounded.
Fulton County police spokeswoman Melissa Parker said the 12:45 a.m. brawl on Westford Circle off Old National Highway began as an argument between Reba Talton, 28, and Pamela Thompson, 20, over a cell phone and an ongoing dispute involving Michael Caine, the father of both of their children.
"Ms. Thompson drove to Ms. Talton's residence with approximately six carloads of people wanting to fight," Parker said. "Thompson and Talton got into a physical altercation in the front yard at which time several others joined in."
Shortly after the fight began, the two groups exchanged gunfire.
John Talton, 22, and Fernando Broughton, 30, were wounded by gunfire, Parker said. Both men were in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.
"There were many juveniles on the scene at the time the gunfire was exchanged," Parker said, adding that one of the vehicles that drove to the scene had about eight children inside, ranging in age from one to nine.
After conducting interviews with everyone involved, police arrested 11 people on charges that included aggravated assault, battery, disorderly conduct and cruelty to children.
