Okay I admit not everybody is scum there, but it's called the "hood" for a reason. The majority of people there are still scum, and what you're basically saying in your posts is that because they have a reason killing is allowed. In that logic there could be a person in the KKK who lost his whole family by a black murderer and starts killing everybody black. Just because someone has a reason for something doesn't make it alright, at the end of the day a lot of people (not all) living in the "hood" and are gang affiliated and kill innocent people and they aren't much better than the KKK.
