It was a two year old's party.

Supposedly. But 2 yr olds don't need a hundred people at their party. They are just as happy with 4 or 5 family members,balloons and cake.

100plus guests mean it is a party for the adults, IMO

That venus is a minimum of 1000 bucks.

Snipped for clarification - Do you believe this only happens in California? The same types of horror happen in Florida, Texas, Michigan and many other places. It's not just California.

Good grief. California is becoming the land of "Mad Max" out of some sort of dystopian science fiction movie. Random violence occurs on a routine basis there. And I guess it is so pervasive that society there just ignores it, or lives with it as just part of life in California?

I'm wondering why the family is being criticised for throwing a party, when they're the victims.

Because it seems clear that there is a LOT more going on here. A 2 year old party with 100+ people ending in a shootout?

thank you for correcting me on that. Highlights my point even brighter I think. No toddler wants or needs a rapper drawing a crowd of 100 to 150 at their birthday party. The event was about the adults and not the children they dragged along. JMO

No one wants to blame victims, but I think the police are clearly indicating that the victims' family know full well who the assailants are and are not cooperating. And that makes for a difficult situation.
