A man fires a gun at an intruder, but the bullet just goes through a door.
In one scene, there is a young boy walking home, and in the background you can see a beatdown behind him.
Not a lot of violence but is occasional and all sequences are built with threat.
A young man is gunned down in a drive-by shooting. His family and friends carry his bloodied body into the living room of his house. His family cries inconsolably over his corpse, with his mother blaming another young man (her other son) for his death, and proceeding to savagely beat him shortly thereafter. This scene is very hard to watch.
At the beginning, the boys find a body in the bushes.
A few young men are shot with machine guns in a drive-by. We see some blood on one of the young men as he is killed point blank (offscreen) while begging for his life. The killing is shown offscreen, as we only see one character's face, shooting the gun to end his life.
We see a slightly bloody dead body.
Guns are pulled in a few scenes and used to threaten people. Shots are sometimes heard being fired in the distance.

People are always drinking on porches or just anywhere in the movie. Also a reference to crack and a crack pipe is visible early on in the movie. Some tobacco smoking. Drinking is the most frequent act seen throughout the movie.

This film is very emotional as it realistically depicts the hard real life struggles of African Americans living in the ghetto of Crenshaw Los Angeles.
There is an intense scene where a cop holds a gun to a man's throat.
