It happened in Koreatown. The sushi restaurant had fallen three months behind on rent, so the landlord, along with some construction workers and a real estate agent, went to the place and asked them to vacate. That’s when the incident occurred. Everyone involved was Korean. This is based on information from local business owners around the Dallas area.
it’s crazy to think that if we could all just come together and agree on one thing, we could make a significant change for the better, we just have to rise up and work together for it, no other way around it
Wtf now 4 shootings since sunday?
Damn what’s happening, there’s been some mass shooting almost everyday…
