The men said video of girls laughing during an armed robbery showcases what they have already known and have invested their lives trying to change. “Violence is routine with them so they have to gear up and get themselves ready to deal with the everyday violence. When you see them acting like they don't care it's part of their armor they can't show a weakness in the streets," said Cook. “To laugh at something as heinous as that is definitely a problem in our city right now," added Lowery.

Lowery, a former Latin King, runs gang diversion programs in schools and says girls are becoming more violent. But the root of their problem is the same as their male counterparts. “We got to show them love in spite of the condition that they're in," said Cook.

The robbery originally occurred back in August.

The victim was attacked in front of customers and the store owners and no one tried to help him.

2. Do you ever recover from getting shot in the knee?
I seem to recall the practice of "capping."

Knee-capping is a form of malicious wounding, often as extralegal punishment or torture, in which the victim is injured in the knee, usually using a firearm to damage the knee joint and kneecap. This practice was common among paramilitaries in Italy and Northern Ireland. Contrary to popular belief, the patella is usually not injured in these incidents; rather damage to soft tissues that include nerves and arteries is the primary issue.

Wikipedia

Contrary to contrary to popular belief, I would think that if the patella is injured at all, you're looking at someone who will limp for life.
