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.

MBnel, real name Johnel Dongon, had previously fled Stockton and was living outside Sacramento.

He had returned to the crime-ridden city of 300,000 people to meet with his fellow rapper pals at the birthday party, his dad said.

“He just came to drop off a present at his friend’s party, whose daughter was the celebrant,” Junior Dongon said.

“He was shot, but he is OK. … He called me and said, ‘Don’t say anything to anybody,” he continued.

The Stockton-based rapper moved out of the area two years ago because he feared for his safety, including an incident where other thugs “shot 22 bullets” at his parents’ house a few years ago, Dongon recalled.

Are you saying you think some of the adults could or should have predicted something like this might happen if they gathered that many, or certain, people together? Or why is it a negative thing for the adults to have had a huge party?

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Assuming there was one target, WHY did they have to go after their target by killing kids? They knew exactly where he was and could have waited until he was leaving the premises and wasn't near others.

(I don't mean to disregard the value of the "target's" life but hopefully I'm making sense.)

There were three pretty well known local rappers who came to the children's birthday party. At least one of them was already aware that he was a target because he had been shot at many times recently already.

I think it was reckless behaviour for him to show up at the child's party. imo

Rapper MBnel was among the 15 shot at a birthday party for a friend’s 2-year-old daughter inside Monkey Space, a banquet hall in Stockton on Saturday evening, said his father Junior Dongon

And appropriately the father used the correct word.... THUGS.

Wonder if he also attributes that label to his son.
