I don't disagree, but the same exact scenario applies there.

You aren't gonna blast the entire crew faster than they can whip out their own and start blasting back, if you even see them all because they love to ambush. Some chance they disperse after you shoot once that is equal to them shooting back because that's just how the hood is.

You are within your right to do so, and I won't say anyone is wrong in the slightest either. Only that the mindset isn't purely based on brainwashed "pro-black" cowardice, but a learned helplessness because society has organized itself where the beating or shame is massively less damaging than you fighting back.
