The saddest part about Ricky's death


Imo was Doughboy trying to comfort his mother, and the bitch turns around slapping and blaming him. Even the stupid a55 girlfriend was screaming at him when he was trying to take the baby out of the room.

That scene was gut wrenching.

It's horrible, painful to watch.

Emotions run high in a sudden tragedy. They were looking for answers and somebody to quickly blame the situation on, and Doughboy was a gangbanger and he had a fight with Ricky just earlier. He was the easiest target.

reply

^^^ Agreed.

Plus, she had always hated Doughboy & treated him badly.
So she naturally would blame him no matter what.



I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I took it as them fighting at the gang culture that killed Rick which Doughboy was apart of.

That scene was definitely hard to watch and I've thought Ricky's death would've been a great opportunity for Doughboy and his mother to get along better and for being more accepting of him but she instead ends up having to lash out at him.

The mom is a bitch, no matter how you sugarcoat it. Hope you can process that someday. The only crybaby on here is you because we all see his mom for the bitch she was. Doughboy may have been a lot of things, but not a murderer. Maybe if the bitch didn't treat him bad as a child, he wouldn't have resorted to gang-banging. If this is really a true story, I hope she feels the guilt.

Throughout the film he wasn't, til they killed his brother for no reason at all. And this was after his bitch mom wrongfully blamed him. I think she was retarded.
