Magnolia Shorty's Husband Murdered in New Orleans

YouTube.com

Almost a year has passed since Magnolia Shorty was gunned down in New Orleans on Dec. 20, 2010, and now friends and family members of the slain rapper are feeling the loss of her husband, Carl Bridgewater, who was shot Thursday (Nov. 17).

Bridgewater, 31, became the 181st homicide of the year for the city of New Orleans.

"Senseless," his uncle, Terry Bridgewater stated about the murder.

The victim was recently released from jail, after being arrested in March 2010, for cocaine possession with intent to distribute. In November 2001, Bridgewater was taken into custody for distributing heroin and possessing a firearm -- he was a felon. The District Attorney's office shot down the charges stemming from 2001, according to records.

In Magnolia Shorty's death, the 28-year-old rapper and another man were shot dead while riding in a vehicle in New Orleans. They were pronounced dead at the scene.

Why is it that racist only look at the evil in other races, and never look in the mirror and see the evil in themselves. There's Black on Black crime just as in every nationality people kill each other. When its White on White crime White people tend to go on a rampage committing MASS MURDER and kill everyone in sight, everyone is a target, everyone is a victim. Blacks may have an intended victim, and ACCIDENTLY kill an innocent bystanders. You never hear about Black people killing their wife and kids, or reporting them missing, so they can get the insurance money. if they kill their "loved ones" its not cold blooded, premeditated murder, instead it stems from anger.

to GOBGOTZ: I told my wife the same thing about the "First 48". I have seen about 50 or so episodes of that program, and 90% of what they show are Blacks killing other Blacks. It's sad that some of our people are that stupid! One guy who was suspected of murder, when they brought him into the interrogation room, he had watched the program enough times whereby he was able to recognized the detective doing the interrogation! Here's the stupid moronic part: You watch the program THAT much, and know how evidence leads back to you, and YOU STILL GO OUT AND COMMIT MURDER!!! W-H-A-T!!! Same with "Bait Car"! One lady even shouted out her window "IT'S A BAIT CAR!", and the idiots STILL tried to steal the freakin bait car!! W--H--A--T!!!
Here's the tricky part GOBGOTZ; Look at all the other Blacks on"The First 48" who are in law enforcement! These numbers are not quite exact, but for every Black criminal on the program, there are 5 Blacks in law enforcement. Also think of all the other Blacks out there who ARE law abiding citizens, who work hard, take care of their families, support America, try to help others, raise their children, value education, etc! Problem is, YOU DO NOT HEAR ABOUT THEM! WHY? BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T SEE THOSE PEOPLE AS GOOD EXCITING PROGRAMMING!
The other tricky part: If you watch enough of the OTHER programs (Forensic Files, Deadly women, Snapped, The New Detectives, etc), you will see that all races have their moronic stupid a**holes---not just Blacks!!
So, be careful and not judge all Blacks by a program that seems to profile Blacks more than other races (Can't quite understand that!) After all, I actually thought the old tv show "Amos and Andy was funny! I knew all Blacks were not like those characters just as I also knew that all Whites were not like Ralph Kramdon (sp) on the Honeymooners!
Judge each person individually!

I guess blacks do not accept their english community. They do not accept an international upringing. They are a seperatist group who kill their own kind to keep them quiet. The truth is you cannot look at a zebra and say it's a horse, it's a zebra. You cannot look at any black person and not see hatred in their eyes. If you wave a red flag in front of a bull you better know how to run.

Shocking, just shocking. I guess you do reap what you sew. And this was the 181st homicide of the year in N.O.? Where is the outrage for that? Probably more murders in the city in a year than Hurricane Katrina killed there, but they are still blaming the government and the corps of engineers, etc. etc. etc. for the hurricane. Go look in the mirror if you want to see what is really bad. And if you live in an area of the city that is below sea level, MOVE OUT or be prepared for it to flood next time a big hurricane comes your way.

I am assuming most of the racist, insensitive, and down right ignorant comments are being made by angry white men (I know their not being made by white women because white women can't get enough of black men). I just have a question, why are you all so hateful. I would think some of you would get tired of being bitter, stupid, and unhappy. Did you lose your job that you got through the "Good ole Boy"system to a black person because of affirmative action? Did your Ivory Queen leave you for a Mandigo warrior? What is it???? I am so glad that I am smart enough to know that not all white people are as ignorant as the ones on this post. Just like not all black people are violent.
