In a scene witnesses describe as looking like a Hollywood set, a confrontation between a group of men escalated into a shooting, multiple vehicle pileup, and an exploding taxicab. The incident left three people dead. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
The driver of a Maserati that was shot up early Thursday morning on Las Vegas’ famed Strip, causing the vehicle to crash into a taxi cab and leading to a deadly explosion, was a 27-year-old aspiring rapper, according to his family.
Three people were killed and at least six injured as a result of the 4:30 a.m. shooting and subsequent car crashes in a section of the Strip that includes Caesars Palace, Bally’s and the Bellagio.
The shooting came after the occupants of a Range Rover and the Maserati got into an altercation in the valet area of the Aria hotel and casino, according to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
“We have numerous witnesses to this,” Las Vegas Police Sgt. John Sheahan said. “But what is the genesis of this? We don’t know yet.”
A major manhunt is under way for the occupants of the Range Rover.
Kenny “Clutch” Cherry of Oakland, Calif. was at the wheel of the Maserati, his father told NBCBayArea.com on Thursday, when a black Range Rover with tinted windows and black rims pulled up and allegedly opened fire near a stoplight in the pre-dawn hours.
A passenger was injured by the gunfire and Cherry was killed, causing the car to spin out of control. The careening silver Maserati smashed into a taxicab, trapping the passenger and driver and causing the cab to burst into flames; both occupants were killed, police said. Then, the Maserati smashed into three other cars before coming to a stop.
The Maserati driver was a Chico State dropout who had gone to Las Vegas to pursue a rap career, father Kenneth Cherry, Sr., told NBCBayArea.com. He had filmed a music video on the Strip featuring his Maserati just months before. Cherry left behind three children, including a toddler and 2-month-old baby girl.
“I heard there was some sort of disagreement and the guys pulled to the side of him, and rolled their window down, and he rolled his window down,” Cherry said. “They just started shooting. My son for the record did not have any guns in his car. There was no gun battle. Nothing like that.”
Attorney Vicki Greco told Reuters she had represented the deceased Cherry in a civil case and a few traffic issues.
The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner confirmed Cherry's identity and said he died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The taxi driver was identified as Michael Boldon, 62, of Las Vegas. His passenger was Sandra Sutton-Wasmund, 48, of Maple Valley, Wash. Both died of "multiple blunt force injuries," the office said.
All three deaths were classified as homicide.
In Las Vegas, visitors and law enforcement reacted with shock to the violent spectacle. The Strip has seen other recent incidents of violence, including a man who fired a gun inside the Circus Circus casino on New Year’s Eve and a parking garage shooting on Feb. 6.
“We get stabbings and gang violence,” Mark Thompson, a visitor from Manchester, England, told The Associated Press, “but this is like something out of a movie. Like ‘Die Hard’ or something.”
Officers are searching for the Range Rover with paper dealership plates and its male African-American occupants, police said. They are combing through surveillance tape for clues.
“Finding those involved is a top priority for my agency and law enforcement here in southern Nevada,” Sheriff Douglas Gillespie of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told NBC affiliate KSNV.

rap
rap.rap, rap ,rap,rap,rap,rap,
But it wasnt the criminal gang bangers in the car, heaven's no, couldnt be. It was those nasty guns right?
Yeah, get rid of the guns and all those pesky criminals and mentally ill folks will go away as well.
The thugs should have used baseball bats. It would have been a way more satisfying debt collection method.
And then this article wouldn't be a national headline on MSNBC.
...could be taxi cabs. Had it not caught on fire, two people would still be alive....ban the taxi cabs....and maybe fire.
Anyway, what I am trying to figure out is why a wanna-be-rapper getting shot is even news. A. who cares, and B. like it's uncommon.
Can we have one day where this site does not push the anti-gun agenda? Every day they post another story about criminals messing around with guns. Certainly there are more things going on that deserve attention.
I agree 100% This would only be local news any other time. Oh I have a news flash for them....Gun Shots were fired at a local shooting range today......ahahahaha
Never had trouble with gangs like this before.... BLAME the RAP
You usually this kind of crap down around Circus Circus. That's where the gang bangers hang out.
Never had this trouble with Devil worshiping Rock & Roll. Only trouble we had was sex and drugs. We knew how to bang!!!
Rappers don't aspire, or else they'd be something other than a rapper!
Steve-446003
I think you are on to something. Ban Rap, not guns.
This crap wouldn't dare be going on if the real Mafia were still running Vegas. The Range Rover and all occupants would have wound up going through a compacter. Sometimes corporations and their fleet of Lawyers just aren't going to get the job done.
Dang those guns!
Now quick, let's make sure that white middle-class Americans with no criminal records can't buy clips, silencers, and 'assault weapons'!
Typical gutter trash.
Aspiring Rapper! LMAO!
You got to be kidding me! Rap is a "JOKE" whatever happen to having to actually be "Talented" to be a singer?
This world is upside down! Take another look at the picture on this article and carnage left behind by this "aspiring rapper!" What a loser. How many times back in the 80's or before did you see dead bodies laying around and bashed up cars all over the place perpetrated by singers and band members?
This is what Black Culture has brought to America!
Hummmmmmmmmm ... And Vegas bills itself for "Families?" LOL
Nobody said the human race will stop killing each other if sensible gun laws are passed, but the bad people will have a harder time procuring weapons of war and hiding that fact from the authorities in such case. If my "rights" were infringed upon in such a way, it would be a better world because then American children could enjoy their right to pursue their lives. But the conservatives would rather take away the rights of women to determine their own health care which is constitutionally protected, deny the rights of gays to marry, obstruct a path to citizenship for undocumented workers because try as they might-they cant figure out how to be fair to them, leave this country without a Secretary of Defense during a time of war, dismantle the Post Office which is also supposed to be my consititutional right as an American to have one, and go to the extremist position that no laws at all should be imposed on guns and ammo. Women and gays arent smart enough to make their own decisions, but they can sure have the most deadly weapons in the world that money can buy-no questions asked. How can anyone align themselves with this bologna- boggles the mind. Oh yea, and people who arent smart enough to vote need to be obstructed- but they too get the right to arm themselves up the ying-yang. What planet?
Not real sure what he was aspiring to. Even by rap standards this seems pretty bad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3CIpf2cBFHE
Why aren't we seeing senseless violence like this in the Country music community? Oh yea, never mind :)
Are you trying to tell me that a rapper was involved in gun violence? Come on, surely you must be kidding!
How does an "aspiring rapper" afford a Maserati?
I thought your type died off long ago.
Yikes...that was not good rappin. I'lll just show pics of my watch and car to make up for the lack of skill.
Skup
That was worse than pretty bad.
Wow... just wow. I only made it through 20 seconds of that video. Calling it "Bad Rap" would be an insult to bad rap.
the article said he left behind two young children, and another on the way; however no wife, out with a girlfriend in a 200 thousand dollar car, got in a argument with some local duds of the same id; and gun violence was next; the rapper scene nation wide is overflowing with gnagbangers and their hanger on's .
I think this is one time that you can blame the music for violence.
DingleB - exactly. It's amazing that people think this was 'brought'!
It was fabricated to sell cd's and make money. It's marketed to certain demographics, and very successfully.
Which hasn't helped anybody except those at the top taking their cut.
rapidrush.............spoken like a true liberal hack. You go on and on about all the rights liberal are for and protect yet you attack the constitutional right to bare arms. How in the hell do you expect anyone that isn't liberal to agree with you? Oh thats right liberals don't care about anyone elses rights if it doesn't conform to theirs.
Rappers and shootings...just a by-product of "Free Market" Capitalism, right?
Why would the Right be up in arms about this?
They get the fusion of the "free market,the love of guns, " and the elimination of "brown" people...the Party of No, Neo-Conferdarate Dream.
Rap, guns & gangs go hand in hand. It's just the way it is.
I remember when Rap first came out. I was like, WTF?! This will never fly...
Just like the first time I seen a store trying to sell a bottle of water. I was like, WTF?! This will never fly...
TrollHarder, I don't know why you're raving about the post office on this thread, but I'll bite. The Post Office does not run on taxpayer dollars - they have been self sustaining. The trouble began for them when congress decided to require that the fund retirement for employees 75 years into the future - that's funding retirement for employees who haven't even been born yet. How is that rational? Who else is required to do this? Finally, how much do you think Federal Express will charge to send a rent check? Do you think it will 50 cents? Do you think they'll deliver to every person in the US, no matter how rural? Do you think the Postal Clause is silly? Do you realize that we have the best, most reliable, cheapest, widest reaching postal service in the world? Honestly, do you ever think?
That video is terrible.
Shootings have nothing to do with Music or for that much the color of ones skin, but the really bad shootings Like the Hook incident just happened to be by White folk. So what message does that send. Is it that RAP music.
rapidrush is an idiot that has never learned from history. Like what happened after the libtards passed prohibition! Ignore him!
I think we should ban laws. As soon as some new law is created, people rush to start breaking it. And let's not get started on current laws and how often they are broken.
Sam627556
When my son was 13, I heard him listening to rap. The lyrics were racial, violent, anti social and abusive to women. Whether you believe it or not, it has permeated our society and brought us all down to the level of the environment we have allowed.
It is no longer allowed in my home, and if I were to hear it, I would not again.
You would be surprised how many white kids listen to it. The school my kids go to is around 70% white and you can't walk into the school without hearing the crap.
Betch-ya a buck that the driver of the Rover wasn't an NRA member...
Also.. news like this that happens in Vegas should STAY in Vegas
How does a college dropout afford a Maserati????????
@DingleB
Made it to 20 sec myself and not more.
Hate to say it but glad he is off the streets hate to see if kids listen to his crap..
And if you ask me the Black culture is not helping themselves with crap like this.
You know, if it wasnt for the news we wouldnt even know it happened.. Ban The News!!!
Black. That is all.
Aspiring rapper driving a Maserati? Awesome! I bet he was really good at something else, like selling drugs, to afford this kind of a car.
SCAPEGOAT TIME!!! Let's blame the music!
This murder was a ROAD RAGE incident that started at the Valet area of a casino. Clearly, words were exchanged and the guys in the Range Rover decided they would end the argument with a firearm.
I don't dislike MSNBC, but it's total cheese-bag journalism to use "aspiring rapper" in this story. If this guy was 2 weeks away from earning a Ph. D in metallurgy, we all know he would not have been identified as an "aspiring metallurgist".
Yet, if he was an aspiring metallurgist that brought his mouth to a gun fight, the results still would have been the same. Let's face it, anyone who argued with the men in the Rover probably would have met the same fate.
This STORY has nothing to do with rap music or metallurgy. We are all being "played" by MSNBC as they make money off of the number of views. Knowing that, keep their tricks out of comments. Pretend the person who was shot is something other than an aspiring rapper.
And remember, the aspiring rapper was unarmed. He didn't deserve to be gunned down. Stop trying to justify his death by bringing up the uber-lame excuse that it was somehow the music.
rapidrush - I guess I missed the part in the Constitution about protecting a womans right to Abortion, written by Jefferson perhaps?
Please I am ready to stand corrected when you can find that part.
@TrollHarder: There is more at work with the downfall of the USPS than the US gov.
For starters: Considering most people use E-mail than regular Snail Mail, the lower usage has contributed to lower profits. That is why Stamps are at $0.45 now.
Secondly: The USPS has the worst organization skills. Considering how much mail is lost each year, is it any wonder people go to Fed Ex or UPS rather than the USPS?
Finally: The USPS has the rudest customer service this side of India. USPS employees can be as rude as they want to you and they can't get fired over it. Not to mention the USPS gave us the phrase "going Postal" when some nut bag shoots up a business/place.
Add those up and it is just a plain bad business that's time has come and gone.
rapidrush:
typical liberal retarded troll; ranting your hate will not change anything; your buddies in government keep trying and keep failing; get your fact straight before you make an ass of yourself in these posts: The USPS is failing because of you bleeding liberals retarded the whole of you!
You all have always failed because lacking of brain or realistic critical thinking; you failed before; are a failure now and will always fail; liberalism will never work in this country as long as there is a single patriot willing to defend our constitution and bill of rights!
Not surprised about your twisted comments; purelies will do wonders for your "cause" and "agendas" keep going; you are doing a wonderful job as more and more minds are freed from your hate BS!
Trolling Alert..................,
There are foreign forces, non-American pretending to be Americans, hard at work on these threads. They have an obvious agenda to promote gun control and disarm Americans.
They're easy to detect as they often type with a middle eastern accent and when they try to make a point using our history they almost always get it wrong.
I'm having fun vetting them out; the following are but a few of the examples I have discovered thus far!
@ rapidrush
@ Never Stop Asking Questions
@ Pedestrain in SF
Happy Trolling, you're busted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
It's contradictory as in, to "ban" anything, there has to be a "law" in place to initiate it.
So, to "ban" laws, you need a law to initiate it. How can we ban laws without initiation of the ban if it doesn't exist in the first place?!
LOL..... Have a nice weekend.
CD
Harold of the Rocks
When you can prove that the music of the 1960's didn't influence free love and increased drug use, then I will accept your premise that rap has not degraded society.
it's a shame it wasn't Kanye and Kim. God bless this world for that atrocity.
Speaking the truth on this particular blog, with the responses shown by some of these people is futile.
Here's 15 in the link below you can ask
http://www.businessinsider.com/the-15-richest-people-without-college-degrees-2010-11?op=1
Rappers, Maserati, Ranges Rover, shoot-out on the Las Vegas Strip, people killed...now,now; not politically correct to profile. Time to ban black Range Rovers and grey Maseratis.
First off, I bet you didn't hate saying it. I bet you LOVED saying it. Secondly, you just justified the death of an innocent person because of the music he produces.
The only thing I hate more than rap music is Country music. I would never ever celebrate the death of K. Chesney or any other lame-ass country twanger. The murder of an unarmed person at a traffic light GOES BEYOND what music they listen to or even produce themselves.
I also hate people whose rock music is so BAD they have to sell Satan to get anyone to notice (Rob Zombie or M. Manson anyone?). I wouldn't wish this kind of thing on those 2 losers either. Don't forget, white guys like Zombie and Manson poison young minds with music too.
Rap - Nuff said
I'm just curious...is there a black person out there with a little clout who has the balls to stand up and call-out their race for what they've become?
We know liberals won't do it because the only people they attack are white American conservatives, and we know conservatives won't do it in any meaningful way because we don't want to be sued (most of us couldn't care less about being called bigots. Liberals have overused the term so much it's meaningless today), so it's left to the blacks to police-up their own.
Jesse, Al and Louis are a bunch of filthy race-baiters so they're essentially useless, so we need some high-profile backs to get serious and start holding their people accountable. Denzel? Chris Rock? Arsenio? Bill Cosby? Oprah? Spike?
C'mon, some of you need to stand up, address this ghetto, thug, drug-dealing, welfare, food stamp, Section 8 bullsh!t, and make an appeal for personal accountability. This chip that blacks have been carrying around regarding slavery, and using as a convenient excuse for underachieving, is tired and no one cares any longer except them, in spite of the fact that no one who ever owned slaves is even alive any longer.
Get over it, stop feeling sorry for yourselves, learn a skill, get out in the workforce, and start creating the kind of life for yourself that you want.
Believe me, the liberals aren't going to help you because they need you to stay dependent on government entitlement programs so you'll continue to vote left every election. Conservatives do want to help you, though; we want you to be able to take advantage of the American dream, participate in the free-enterprise system that couldn't care less what color your skin is, and create a great life for yourself, but it has to be a two-way street. We need you to also want something better for yourself.
Trust me, these fake-ass liberals do not have your back, they're just using you to stay in office so they can continue to press their selfish agenda; an agenda that I promise you carries absolutely no benefit for you beyond that paltry check many of you are getting every month.
Stand up collectively and do something about it!
Good shooting IMO, the guy was obviously a drug dealer.
“Finding those involved is a top priority for my agency and law enforcement here in southern Nevada,” Sheriff Douglas Gillespie of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told NBC affiliate KSNV.
Yeah, like we believe that... What ever happened to Tupac Shakur's killers? Wasn't he gunned downed in Las Vegas also?
WTF is wrong with ALL you people? This was the son, brother, Father and friend to those who knew him. Just because he was a Rapper doesn't make it right. I pray for him and the family he left behind. What, Rappers are less human just cuz they Rap for a living. For all you people who have responded with such disdain, have you even stopped to think how your words are hurting an already devestated family? Apparently NOT. So you can't to a casino cuz the area is blocked, boo hoo. You obviously think that your wants are more important then the lost of a persons life. What, he was a Rapper so his life didn't count? WTF is wrong with you people, had he been just another bussinessman gambling. Would that have made a difference. I'm a 58yr old grandmother and I listen to Rap, Rock, Country, etc.... It wasn't what he did for a living that killed him, it was a group of cowards, such as yourselves, that took this young mans life. This "happens all the time", so what are you implying, that he was a nobody. That his life was worthless and it was ok to take it! this has nothing to do with Rap, it's about a young man who's life was taken from him for no reason. All lives have meaning regardless of who or what they are. SHAME on all of you HATERS who think that your lives means more. In my opinion, your lifes mean less when you can't find even the tiniest compassion for the lost of another human being. Who TF are you to judge the worth of anothers life. 'Judge not, unless ye be judged" and have walked in his shoes. You sound like animals, no offense to animals since even they feel and moarn when one of them die. God forbid this could have been your brother, son, friend or Father. I guess than you would be writing about the loss of a meaningful life. HYPOCRITS and HATERS go hand in hand, and the day will come when you'll have to answer to God why he should let you in. You can all go to HELL because you are not in anyway Human. I pray his family reads my words, and finds some comfort in knowing that there are others like me who feel there pain and loss. This young man is with God now, where are you? By the way has nothing to do with Gun Control either. So quit bitching about your rights to carry arms, etc... This is ONLY about one thing, the senseless lost of a young mans life trying to make a better life for himself and his family.
Why aren't these shooters labeled as TERRORISTS!!!! Isn't that what they are????
Unfortunately we will never stop people from fighting it's part of the human condition. But we can change it back more like it used to be. You used to be able to have a one on one fist fight and and that was considered honorable and legal. We should bring back dualing and create dualing grounds in every city and town so we can promote settling these fights in a safe and honorable way. So no Innocent bystanders get killed. Shooting someone in a drive by is a cowardly act but since we've outlawed any honorable way to settle disputes people settle them in dishonorable ways. If there were a legal way to dual honorably then these thugs would look like cowards in the eyes of other thugs if they were unwilling to fight fairly one on one with guns, knives, or fists. I'd rather have a bunch of people shooting at each other on Saturday morning on the dualing grounds than shooting up the streets and killing everybody but the one they're shooting at.
The Civil Rights Act started the downfall of all Blacks in the USA. In 1965 80% of Black families had 2 parents households. Now 0nly 20% have 2 parent households. Welfare serves only to keep the Blacks in society down and to never to attain a net worth greater than zero. FBI statistics reveal that Black males between 14 & 35 commit 56.6% of all violent crime and make up only 3.5% of the US population. 92% of all violent crime on Blacks is Black on Black crime.
Dude, you're stereotyping all black people into one category. "What they've become". Really?!
First off, you have balls to write such a ridiculous comment.
Secondly, I'm going to guess but, there will be more posts like mine saying similar things. Wow man...
why didn't anyone get those people out of the cab? "the crash trapped them in" so.. break the window or push the cab with your car out of the pool of gas dumping under the car or pull the door off with a chain and your car... Too many people don't think on their feet and are too afraid of getting hurt or killed to help others in need.
i'm sure the little douchebags PARENT will be bringing lawsuits against everyone in vegas. is Al Sharpton still around
Whatever happened to hip-hop artist KRS One, Sean Hannity and the FOX News Gang went beserk when Obama invited hip-hop artist Common to the WH.
The truth is out there! We give all the nourishment to the weed and shrubs and wonder why the good grass cannot grow. And, when I say "WE", I mean all of us. The Whites and Jews who control the entertainment industries soft and hard production mechanisms. For, the Blacks who perpetuate "The self hatred mantra, as loving the n-i-g-g-a in us mentality"
oh for the days when bad rap was getting blamed for something you didnt do an gang bangers involved a groupie!
as with people who climb mountains and fall to their death...
so to do I not feel an ounce of sadness for this rapper who died because of his thug ways. I watched the video for maybe 20 secs and I saw him raise his arms and pretend to "shoot" a gun like the real hardcore thug he is.
Well, guy, looks like you went down in the blaze of glory you were hoping for...
just incredibly sad that two innocent people in a cab had to lose their lives because a bunch of ignorant thugs with guns had to prove who's the bigger thug.
nice of the dad to make certain everyone knew his thug son didnt have any guns on him, uh sir, you just ruined your sons thug rep...tsk tsk tsk...no real thug rolls without his manhood.
Yes because we don't have enough @!$%#ing gang killings already, let's help to reinforce this macho bull@!$%#. Nice.
Thugs killed,no big loss!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have an advanced degree and years of experience, there isn't a Maserati in my driveway. Is it too late for me to change careers? Are there white middle aged rappers? Do they all get shot eventually?
I have to laugh. Just the other day, all these folks were posting that it must have been some black rappers in those described vehicles and they got all chewed out. HAH HAH. Stereotyping or not. When you're right 95% of the time, yes, then I'd say it's fair game to comment on.
GOod thing we are all created equal... considering 90% of all the crime I read about it black, could you imagine if they were smarter than us?
ban FORD Crown Victoria /police intercepters they are driving bombs as there fueltanks are known to rupture EZ,most police depts modify the tanks,but the taxi firms do not
Above God - *face palm
Yes, it was the passage of Civil Rights and all the those freedoms that caused black families to fall apart suddenly.
Or perhaps, it was the massive lack of work for black people and complete inability to ever rise up beyond poverty, from the start, that ensured that a good chunk of black people forever remained poor.
Poverty & Lack of Opportunity is at the root of todays issues.
I will absolutely agree, hands down, that Welfare does a lot of harm in many ways and has created the situation where we encourage women not to marry the father of their children, because it ensures a bigger assistance from the govt.
But ZERO assistance and just saying "good luck" will not, REPEAT, WILL NOT make things better...I thought we wanted to solve the issue of poor black and latino's turning to gangs and drug dealing?
I have long advocated that we require work in exchange for govt assistance - and that work can be put on a resume, so when they try to get real jobs...they have real work experience, which is a HUGE KEY to getting better and better jobs.
People who work for what they get look at the world differently, and tend to have a lot more self-respect.
Also, i'd suggest that if someone keeps having kids they cant take care of and keeps turing to the govt for help, instead of helping the adult - we help the child.
The only way to do that is to remove the child from their parents...permanently.
I would suggest boarding-style schools, where the kids can grow up in a positive environment focused on education and becoming productive members of society.
It might sound harsh, but someone has to take care of those kids...
and this crosses all races and socio-economic realities. there are lot of white kids who are neglected while their parents drink their lives away...
I'm shocked and saddened by this terrible, heart-rending, tragic loss...
I'm talking about the Maserati, of course...those are some fine automobiles
Steve-446003 - "Never had trouble with gangs like this before.... BLAME the RAP"
In this case it may have had nothing to do with Rap. The local news reports that Clutch was a well known pimp and had quite a police record. It may have been a business altercation.
By the way, he died only yards from where Tupac was killed.
and we think the crime and danger its only in mexico ffffffff.
carryingconcealed: You must be a fool. What's important to you might mean nothing to the next person. When a person start selling drugs he or she might lose their life. That's the chance they are willing to take.Staying alive in the drug game is more important than the police catching you. All you have to do is give the police some money. I'm a 70 year old New Yorker and knows what goes on in the streets When my city had a high murder rate in the early 90's. GUYS like me went into the streets all over the city telling these young IDIOTS "There's enough money out here for everybody" They took heed!!! That's their life style!! They deal drugs!!
Carryingconcealed
Yes there are a few, but as I
recall when Bill Cosby called out the black community, rappers and gangbangers
he caught a bunch of crap for it! Are these the people who you really want after
you? Rappers and gangbangers will shoot everyone in a group because someone wore
RED and don't care who they kill!
Well Jag, the numbers don't lie, people do. The FACT of the matter is black people in the USA kill each other at a much higher % than every other race by huge %'s, and that is a fact. Black males account for 53.6% of violent crimes in this country, another fact. When you have 76% of that community being raised by single females, and with no man in their life this is what you get. Where's Bill Cosby when you need him? He is 100% correct on his assessment of his own people, they have lots of work to be done to end this never ending violence within there culture. Deal with it....
Jessica-1170252
I know my opinion on this is not popular, but there is a solution. Free birth control for all and a wind down in welfare. The cost of the birth control would be more than paid for by less people on welfare in one generation. And this has to do with the human race, not just one.
@Yvonne Navarro
He was a piece of @!$%# drug dealer with no real job and driving a Maserati. How many people did he kill when slinging those rocks? Not a big loss to society. This is called addition by subtraction.
Please no profiling....that's a no no...lol
Rappers who only rap about gangster @!$%# like violence and drugs/alcohol are only puppets in a much larger scheme. There are alot of positive rappers and hip hop artists out there that don't get exposure because record labels and the money men just want rap to be a giant advertising tool to sell liquor, name brands, and cars. Oh yeah, and perpetuate violence so they can keep their prisons full. Don't forget rap was very positive music when it began
Those of you who don't think Rap had anything to do with this, you're not seeing the big picture. Rap encourages this kind of behavior, it promotes it, it even glorifies it. Carrying guns, thug mentality, drug dealing, abusing women, shooting anyone who disagrees with you, these are all very common themes in rap, and it is a large contributor to the decay of our society. These "role models" have infected the youth of today, in all races, and it's scary to think what the future will bring when they get older.
@ Yvonne Navarro post 1.59,
How can you defend any of these people and leave out the 2 that died in the taxicab? You actually have no idea what caused this but you claim the victim is due some respect. Shame on you for not mentioning the innocent bystanders, they had no part in it. I pray for them and their families/friends. I haven't met a rapper or heard of a rapper that didn't sing about his life and the more dramatic the more money they make. They do nothing but thrive on violence. If they want to do some good in life they need to stop this and turn themselves into authorities for this horrific crime.
An 'aspiring' rap star is driving a Maserati???
I gotta start rapping!
Rollin' dirty wit my nine, 'cause I've gots to gets mine...5-0 lets me run wild, so they can make the genpop mild...

You are absolutely correct. We are hell and gone down the wrong road...but don't worry. These things have a way of working themselves out...like over-extended deer populations.
@tombones - doesn't mention if it was paid off. It is easier to get a car loan for $100,000 than it is to get the same amount for a home. It's just another gift he leaves for his family - a huge debt to pay off!
That video just confirms my belief that rap and music is a contraction in terms.
Corporate lawyers can make someone's life so much worse than death by compacter or any backroom torture that the mafias were known for. But they just don't care one bit about who gets killed or why. This article breaks and everyone in the PR department of Caesars Palace, Bally’s, and the Bellagio are all standing up and high-fiving eachother and hugging. "Did you see that?!?! FREE ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!"
Perper you are dilussional. You think that taking guns away from these violent criminals they will just stop their killing? The Home office for England and Wales put out clear and concise crime statistics. England has incredibly oppressive gun laws yet they have a higher violent crime rate than we do.
@TrollHarder
Apparently you don't learn enough, GOP is the cause of post office going under because they think it is a good idea to mandate them to set enough money for employee to retirement. No company would be able to survive with that kind of mandate.
If you want to talk about something, learn about it first.
Rap music sucks so 1 less rapper is no big deal. The real bad part of this is the poor people in the taxi cab who died. If these druggy gang bangers want to kill each other there is plenty of desert to do it in and noone will miss them. As far as this guy not having any guns in his car,,,,,I guess the was his mistake. I wonder if the shooters went thru a background check to get their guns????
Man I just love when white people get all rednecky about rap music. Its as close to that pure, white power, picnic lynching atmosphere that made this country what it is today: a white man's cultural burden of hypocrisy.
Yep, rap music is leading to decline and fall of black culture the exact same way Heavy Metal music was supposed to lead to devil worship and teenage suicide among white kids. Funny that now that those metal head kids are all grown up and having kids of their own we forget how much we demonized metal bands back in the day (say, remember "backmasking"?) for some of the very same bullshyte.
Oh yeah, and remember those "Rock and roll has got to go" white parents getting their panties in a twist over Chubby Checker and Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis; those guys were supposed to bring the end of civilization with their love of the "jungle music"... same with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones with their hippy music... same thing with Big Band Music and Swing, and Beatniks and Mods and Greasers and the Punkers, and all the other white fads that were supposed to signal the end of "decent society" and the beginning of the negro takeover.
And yet none of that happened, but somehow rap music is so much worse because its full of black people.
Well riddle me this, Caped Crusader: mainstream rap music is almost exclusively marketed to suburban WHITE kids, not urban black kids, simply because that's where (truly) the money is. So if such is in fact the case, and rap music is now (and has been for a while) "white music" how long before mainstream rap is no longer demonized because white kids grew up listening to it?
Afterall, its only alright when it becomes all white, and only whack when blacks try to take it back
What would Ted Nugent Do?
My father used to be a world-class billiards player (he's still formidable enough that I can only beat him if he forgets his glasses), and he played tournaments in Vegas all through the late 60s and early 70s. Once, when we were talking about all the new construction in Vegas, he said,
"Disney has appropriated the idea that was Las Vegas, but for all their efforts to make it a more respectable place, they've actually suceeded in doing the exact opposite. When Vegas was a Mob ATM, it was the safest place in the world. You could stumble drunk down the Strip, dropping $100 bills and high-dollar poker chips all over the sidewalk, and people would pick up your money and hand it back to you, because they knew that if they did it any different, they would end up explaining themselves to people holding sledgehammers. There was no crime on the Strip. Never."
The Mafia was and is a disgusting and degenerate organization, but at least they knew the story about the goose and the golden eggs. If this was 1972, the guys in the black Range Rover would already be coyote poop.
Citizen Frank - those tin foil hats need to be adjusted periodically or they cut off all circulation to your little tiny brain. My thinking on gun "control" is the same as Scalia and Reagan. Get a clue.

Wow, I've seen a wide variety of ignorant comments made before but this thread has an exorbitantly high number today. One individual stood out quite well in this aspect.
@rapidrush
Try reading the Constitution, none of the things you mention as "rights" are listed anywhere in the Constitution. There is no right to healthcare, marriage (gay or straight), postal service, or citizenship for illegals. It isn't there not a word. BUT, the one thing you DO mention that is a right guaranteed by the Constitution is the right to keep and bear arms, which you speak out AGAINST! Educate yourself rush, you only made yourself look the fool.
As for all the racist comments, not necessary people. Not only should you keep those opinions to yourself, but you only hurt yourself in the eyes of the world. While it is true that the majority of violent crime is perpetrated by Blacks, screaming this fact over and over does not change the outcome of this story. Rather than ranting about something, try doing something about it or STFU, you're not helping.
As far as the whole "rap is bad m,kay" argument, it's a worn out argument that has been used forever with equally no effect. "Rock is the Devil's music" "Heavy Metal is going to make our kids criminals" "Country promotes promiscuity" etc. etc. etc. Yes I think rap (for the most part) sucks, but blaming it for this crime? Why waste your breath? The only way rap was to blame was if someone was actually trying to prevent him from produce another horrible rap video. (Yes I listened to the video posted above, truly horrible even for rap)
And just to prove a point, not all rap is bad nor does it all self-aggrandize nor promote negative lifestyles and choices. Here is an example of a good rap song, with a good message, and a positive upbeat image.

""Rock is the Devil's music" "Heavy Metal is going to make our kids criminals" "Country promotes promiscuity" etc. etc. etc"
(snicker) G' Afternoon Mr Ed. U have a valid point.
Last summer, 1 of my nephews (a 15 year old) played some Christian rock for me. After just a minute (maybe 2) I had 2 ask: "This is Christian music???" Help me, I thought Satan himself was trying 2 come through the speakers..........and this is coming from a person who grew up with AC/DC, Black Sabbath & KISS.
And people wonder this stuff keeps happening. The last guy summed it up, never mind three people got killed and at least six injured by these thugs, their biggest concern is that they couldn't walk here or there and go to this casino or that one. It's like, never mind them, I'M being inconvenienced, my vacation plans are being disrupted, how dare they get shot and how dare they do all the shooting while I'M here. NO concern for getting criminals with guns off the street, no concern how they stole them in the first place or bought them from cartel smugglers now bringing tons of guns INTO the U.S. No it's all about them, their plans, and oh yes, banning certain rifles and pistols, that are being smuggled in ANYWAY. Stupid people, strict enforcement of the current 27,738 gun laws will works, more that no one enforces won't. Especially if the only ones that give them up are the law abiding people. Them criminals won't follow the law, never have, never will, ergo, the term criminal. BUt, that makes sense, so certain political groups will never go for it.

I just love it when black people try to justify bad behavior and lack of morality. You want to change the perception of Rap, change the content. As this case shows, he wasn't such a badass, was he? Don't try to pass it off that it is whitey that is the problem.
My comments have nothing to do with race, they have to do with the crap in the lyrics. Some of my favorite artists are African American.
MrEd7451
They also used to have warning labels that specified that it might be offensive material, which parents could judge and determine whether they thought it was appropriate for their kids. And then it became a free for all as if the freedom of speech extended beyond morality.
FYI I am not even remotely religious and many times not right, but most rap is offensive to what this country should stand for. As is some of all types of music. I don't want to ban music as it tells a story and I value art, but I should have a right to not have it shoved in my face or down my kids throats.
liberals steal your money
You do realize that is very offensive, right? We all need to hold ourselves to a higher moral standard. It has nothing to do with race.
@Carryingconcealed...it's not likely, the only member of the Black community who has come out and tried to argue against the dimunition of the culture exemplified by 'Ebonics', ass dragging pants, etc is Bill Cosby. Jackson, Sharpton and their ilk have evolved into nothing more than media whores and represent nothing in the way of adult male role models.
I am of an age that I heard the live speeches of Dr. King, who legitimately was a man among men, he inspired me to be a better person and not judge by color, so I Have a Dream and perhaps someone will stand up.
I hope so, because I'm tired of the division in this country and the half cracker in the WH isn't the answer.
MSNBC actually described wanted suspects as "African American"?????
Whaaaaaa?? No simple "police are searching for 4 males"?
RACISTS! YOU BE RACISTS!
carryingconcealed:
Bill Cosby has lots to say. And many blacks in the US don't like what he's saying. Look into it.
He's right.
A true art form...
Rap is not the cause of violence; rather, it is a direct reflection of a culture...the completely amoral, animal-like behavior of its creators, purveyors, and fans.....a societal group with absolutely no sense of right and wrong.
WTF is wrong with people like carryingconcealed on here! Well i should have known by your name your a douche but i looked past it when reading your post... Black people and rap music kill people?? Where were YOU when 20 or so innocent victims including baby chidren were shot at sandy elementary by a young WHITE male?? Where were you when ted bundy, BTK, gacey,dahmer, etc killed all together hundreds of victims if not thousands?? Whites make up the majority of crazed killers and serial killers. This could perhaps be because of population differences but it doesn't change the fact that whites more often than blacks are serial killers and shooter uppers like we live in the wild west! This problem lies with the completely fu*ked up class system we have in america that will never change until greed and love of money end. The rich get richer, the poor are forced to fend for themselves. That welfare check despite contrary opinion does not pay much. How much do you guys really think people on welfare make?? Blacks have been opressed along with natives since our country began.. Did you all miss this part in history or our so called great nation that was actually built on @!$%# morals that our constitution even protected? You praise the constitution so much and say it shouldn't change even though we have ammended it for very good reasons! Do you think the founding fathers could even fathom how much we have changed as a nation with the tech weapons etc! How can a document created hundreds of years ago be the final authority in everything? I am a liberal if you didn't notice and i disagree with leglislation to remove firearms from law abiding citizens because i don't trust the police to help me out when someone breaks into my home. I hate the police they are a bunch of pigs. I don't like the government telling me what i can do or cant do. LIBERAL means free of govt constraint and progressive. You all paint with broad brushstrokes.
Over-sensitive, macho-acting, ButtHurt Sissy Boys with loaded & concealed guns loitering in public.
GO HOME, sissies. Quit pretending to be men deserving of respect & Freedom.
"How much do you guys think people on welfare really make?"
Nothing. "Make" implies "earn". People on welfare don't "make" anything. They are given the money.
Mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients.
Mandatory birth control for welfare recipients.
I had to piss in a cup to get the job to make the money to give to you. You should piss too.
Receiving welfare is an admission that you need financial aid in order to survive. You shouldn't bring a child into that same situation. Norplants for female welfare recipients until they secure a job and get off the taxpayer's dime.
Not on welfare thanks ass wipe. Let me rephrase: How much money do you think people on welfare receive monthly? How is that douche
Also I would like to see you all just try to take away the benefits the poor receive from the govt and let them fend for themselves... You think shootings are bad now? YOu think burglaries are bad now? Haha you would see complete anarchy unfold before your eyes. Of course I would just laugh, give up the very small amount of money I have to my name and say I told you so. I can't wait until you conservatives get what you want a jungle forms right in your front yard. Desperate times call for desperate measures... Isn't that how it goes? with obama doing absolutely nothing for jobs in this country, with our defict etc if things stay on course that is exactly what will happen. The elite rules the govt and the govt rules us. The govt is there merely to mask the elite. Wake up folks.
I had a nice vacation, came back home and checked these boards for a dose of reality and you people didn't fail me... sam ignorant, refined right wing sh!t. Loads of moronic comments, this one really stood out. And it had nothing to do with the subject at hand... Go figure.
USPS: Government-managed "company" involved with the transport and delivery of goods to a specified person which is going bankrupt from bogged-down bureaucratic red-tape and ineffectiveness; Government in action!
I realiz there is a-lot to read here, so please don't let words and facts get in the way. Amazingly enough it was doing great on it's own and making money from postage and other avenues, it was self supporting. That is until 2006 when they were forced by congress to pay 5.5 billion per year until 2017 for "future retirees" spanning 75 years and more into other federal accounts along with almost 6.5 billion overpayed until 2011. The post office was enacted back in 1792 and Ben Franklin was the first Postmaster General for sh1t sakes. It has done pretty well for itself UNTIL 2006.
Link to 2006 US Postal Service Accountablity and Enhancement Act.
Understandably, 7.5% average reduction per year in 1st class mail income due to internet/technology has an effect. However, if FedEx, UPS or any other company on the planet was held to this same standard and required to pay their future retirees for 75 year IN ADVANCE by law... then the ink might be a little red in their books as well or simply out of business.
Seems to me like some people are laying in bed with FedEx or some other private postal delivery corporation.
Tom Davis, Republican, Sponsored the Bill and of course it passed house and senate and no question that idiot bush signed it into law. It went through 100% unopposed by both parties in senate if I remember. Nobody is clean on this one.
ashp -
I'm sorry you feel the need to name-call, but I suspected you were a very small person from your initial post. Thanks for the confirmation.
Having never drawn welfare, I have no idea what amount that check is per month, except that it's more than was earned.
I believe you ARE on welfare. Your rhetoric gives you away. For example;
"try to take away the benefits the poor receive from the gov't"
People NOT on the dole understand that welfare doesn't come from the "gov't". It comes from the taxpayers, and is distributed by government. But, as someone who doesn't pay taxes, you don't understand that, do you? You just believe you are entitled to "benefits", because "obama [is] doing absolutely nothing for jobs". Perfect example of welfare mentality. "I'm poor because someone else isn't doing enough."
Have a nice day, neighbor. Oh, and when you have dinner tonight . . . you're welcome.
ashp
That's funny! So you freely admit that the only reason there is welfare is so the scum does not rob and kill us in our sleep? Funny.
A little lesson on welfare in this country. WE spent nearly a trillion dollars last year on welfare and healthcare for welfare.
Last year a woman in MN was complaining that because of the government shutdown, she was not receiving her child care payments. $3.400 a month or $40,800 a year for her five kids by five different fathers who were not paying for their progeny. Unless I am mistaken, that income alone makes her middle class. Besides the fact that the payments were made to her mother, in the same home that she lived. This did not include any other payments for food stamps housing assistance or any other program.
Last year I was working on a home on a lake. The lady of the house was complaining about a couple that moved in two houses down from them with their five kids. She stated that they were continually out in the street fighting for all to see and their kids were unkept and thugs. These people moved into a home on a lake on section eight.
I have a cousin that was receiving child care credit, food stamps, welfare payments, and housing assistance, for her three kids by three different dads. The whole time she was living with a millionaire and making over $100,000 in cash a year. A family disappointment, total white trailer trash.
So before you state that there is not abuse in all of it, perhaps you should know some truth that people refuse to accept. It is not only the government that is corrupt, but society.
JMarine0811
The moronic thing about government run departments is that if they actually charged more for the junk mail I receive they would be doing well. There is no reason they should not charge just as much for junk mail as letters.
liberals steal your money
It is offensive when you try to point out that there is black crime as if that is the only crime that is happening. There is just as much scum in other races.
These men were obviously law abiding citizens, the ones who did the shooting, so lets punish the rest of the law abiding citizens.

Everything you wrote is f-in bullsh*t! First of all, criminals WILL ALWAYS have guns - laws do not stop criminals - hence them being criminals!
Wrong again, we conservatives just don't want to pay for their screwing around and getting pregnant, then wanting to kill their child. They want to screw around - fine, pay for birth control yourself! They want to kill their child - fine, pay for the abortion to kill your child yourself! I don't need to pay one cent for the idiotic choices you make! Nothing in the Constitution allows you to make personal voluntary choices and expect others to pay for it!!
Marriage is between a man and a women - period.
What is fair to criminals is sending them back to their homeland. THEY ARE CRIMINALS - and should be treated as such!
Obama's nominee is worse than having no one. They guy has no clue to what is going on (as he obviously couldn't put a sentence together or answer 1+1 questions, and is no friend of Israel - like Obama.
Well, why don't you on the left pay for it then? And just which Constitutional Amendment gives you the right to a federally run and taxpayer paid for Post Office? The USPS has become an abyss of OUR tax dollars, and is clearly being poorly run and managed.
Extremist position? According to who? You? Doesn't really matter what YOU think. Since you like to point out our Constitution, try reading the 2nd Amendment!!
We have never said women or gays aren't smart enough - just that women can pay for THEIR CHOICES and just wrong (and creepy) for two guys or two women (who actually only make up about 3 - 5% of our population which a lot of people view as an anomaly) to get married.
A lot of us on the right of the aisle are just as mind boggled about people like you as you are about us!
I'll agree with you on this one. The can't wipe their own a**es, still sucking off mom and dad (or the taxpayer) while attending college should not be able to vote! The vast majority of college age people are not touch with the real world or understand what it takes to function in it. I'm for raising the voting age to 27 as the "children" are not viewed as that by the Obama administration and the left according to Obamacare. If you're too young to take responsibility for yourself, you are too young to vote!
One moron down....a few million to go!!! The only reason Ocrapa wants more gun control is he thinks it will stop his "people" from killing each other. Good luck with that one! LMAO! I say let these idiots kill each other off, and then good people of all races can co-exist!
After seeing this on my local news where they reported the rapper brags about carrying a loaded pistol in his Maserati and acts like a gansta, I guess he should have been ready to live it in real-life when some real ganstas came calling on him. I feel sorry for his family and the innocent people who were killed. He was such an idiot in life and he died like an idiot!
ashp said:
Fu*ked up class system? What a pathetic joke. Yeah, I'm responsible for all the loser's in the world and they should get my money because I make more?! I certainly don't expect people that make more than me to give me their money.
And you know what? That welfare check is paying for way too much! You might want to read a little and become a bit more informed about what you write. Take a look at the stats of what the "poor" have now in their possession compared to what they had 50 years ago. That's right - cars, tv's, cellphones, computers, cars - all those luxuries in life. Oh yeah, they can now gamble and go to strip clubs too!
And as far as blacks being oppressed - that's getting to be about a 50 year too old of an excuse. I don't think its the white guys going into the black neighborhoods and killing the blacks off. They are doing that themselves. Why is it blacks still only make up about 13% of the overall population?
what happen in Vegas...should stay in Vegas...cause rap master jessse gimmmy jack joe-joe...say hay to da hoe-hoe...watch the the bang bang drop'em to da flooor...come get da body ...from da maserati...

But no sweat, I understand your kind....
well my country version...by country clem clawed chain sawed and the four legged farm animal i've been with band...as a new hit out...ya'want to hear it...
It is sad when such a young person dies. That said, one does wonder why these Rap artists want to act like thugs and gang bangers. First of all, that is usually a very short life span; secondly, it is stupid and pointless. As long as record companies are going to promote and reward "artists" for producing this garbage, we will have the rest of the behavior. I'm sure they all think they'll be the next Jay Z; unfortunately they will NOT.
In the old days, before they 'cleaned up' Vegas, if something like this happened you were lucky if the cops caught you. The mob didn't like 'freelance' stuff, and guys like these would disappear into the desert... ;)
not even autotune could save this mess he tried to pass off as music.
Blacks on crack doing what blacks on crack do, surprise surprise
moto87: Before you throw around false accusations about "libtards" causing prohibition, perhaps you should learn some facts first:
The Volstead act (the law that banned alcohol in 1919) was named after and introduced by Andrew Volstead, a REPUBLICAN congressman from Minnesota. It was vetoed by Woodrow Wilson, Democratic president, and then overridden by a REPUBLICAN-controlled congress (both chambers), led by Christian conservatives.
Education helps with the right-wing stupid disease pal. Try it out.
No, MOSHULUU, your foolish criticism of OTHER people being ill-informed is what is FUtile and exposes you for the pompous idiot you are, along with MANY other tragically uninformed pawns of the media-narrative who are such frequent regulars of this site's newsvines. JUST because they aren't REPORTED on frontpage headlines to push an agenda and try and save the black race from stigmatization more than it already has overwhelmingly brought upon itself/themselves, DOESN'T mean that black mass-murders and murderERSaren't JUST as bad and gruesome as "demented ol' 'Whitey's'." Some are stated to be more sick and demented than Dahmer & John Wayne G. Hate to bust that bubble you're constantly retreating to after you throw in your snide, condescending comments so you won't have to deal with Reality; and the Truth in the matter that your assumptions are always, at least, HALF-wrong. Whites are NOT the most prevalant mass murderers racking up the body counts, as you convince yourself is so to soothe that itching disposition towards their constant "step ahead" in Society throughout all of time. All of you chew on this, then BITE onnnn...

I hate rap. It sucks. Only thing that pisses me off more than hearing it is some stupid ass white person with their breeches hanging off thier ass listening to it.
WHATEVER HAPPENED to that good boy, Hootie, and his BlowFish ?
that Hootie made some nice, gentle music.
Question, has anyone ever heard of desensitizing, well this is an effort to sensitize the public through compassion for the victims of certain crimes so that the public is more willing to change his or her opinions or perspectives about a certain political agenda. In the instances of gun violence reporting hopes to gain more favor in changing or even omitting the second amendment of the constitution. I am not going to say this is no place to discuss these issues because NBC chose to report this and make it public so deal with the repercussions NBC or any other news affiliate that can't respect the dead. I will tell the truth if you don't want the truth then go back to your political deep pockets and tell them your not going to be a party to their agenda any longer and get on with reporting the real news. Now that politicians have had their way with taking the peoples attention away from our troops abroad. I can say they are almost quit good at multitasking.
WOW....
I Am in awe, after Reading the Commentary Here....
I sometimes think there is some Seriously crucial element missing from Folks consciousness these days, that actually was fairly common amongst the folks that I remember growing up around... is it "Heart" that's missing ?... well, that's just one thought that comes to mind... and I am pretty sure my observation is out of Focus, because it does seem logical that these comment pages invite so many people that NEED to push an Agenda or just spew Hate, that it actually REPELS allot of Decent and well rounded individuals, from even participating....
And I HOPE that "Easy to swallow" Explanation I was pondering, Really IS the reality of it.... Because it pains me to think that the cross-section of folks I encounter on here on "Newsvine", ACTUALLY IS a fair Representation of the true Depth of my Fellow Countrymen... Because if it is, we are pretty Screwed.
In my eyes, this is a Seriously Tragic Event...
I would just like to point out that I don't give a crap to ARGUE anything...
But I feel it is only Right and Proper to Remember that at least a few, if not Many people are Reeling from the News that Their LOVED ONES...are Dead.

Michael Boldon, graduated from Detroit Southwestern High School
in 1968 and attended Ferris State University, where he studied business,
his brother "Carl Bolden" said.
"He sold cars, but things fell apart here so he decided to move to Vegas.He had been in Vegas just shy of a year; he'd been commuting back and forth for some time before he finally moved there."
Michael Boldon is survived by an adult son and a grandson, his brother said. He was not married.
"He was a great person — the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back," Carl Boldon said...
The Passenger of The Taxicab... Was -
Sandra Sutton-Wasmund... She was 48 years of age.
Sandra was from Maple Valley, Washington.
According to the Maple Valley-Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce,
Sandra joined the chamber’s board of directors in 2004 and served
as board chairwoman from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. She retired
from the board in 2001, but was the marketing representative for chamber
membership and directory ad sales at the time of her death.
Debbie Tvedt is the office manager at a Maple Valley plumbing company
that Sutton-Wasmund started with her husband, James Wasmund. Tvedt
called the death "a big loss" and added tearfully, "This woman was
everything to this community."
Tvedt said Sutton-Wasmund
co-owned a dress shop called The Dazzled Dame and had gone to Las Vegas
with her partner in the shop for a trade show.
Sutton’s family released the following statement:
“Sandi was a loving wife, mother, daughter and sister. Her
innocent and tragic loss will be felt by all of those who knew and loved
her and by the community at large. Her family appreciates the
outpouring of love and support, and respect for privacy shown throughout
this very difficult time.”
((( These two good people, Michael and Sandra.... are Real.. and I have little doubt that they will be missed terribly,... to say the very least. My Sincerest Condolences to Their Families, Friends, and co-workers.... who will Suffer The PAIN OF LOSS.... Because of the Selfish IGNORANT CRIMINAL Actions of the Wretched... Barely Human Scum, that Deserve NOTHING LESS than a Death Penalty... of course, that is only my Humble Feeling on the Subject. if they were my Family, and I could find them? I would see them Murdered in the street... it IS what they Deserve....... )))
annievoracekxxe3 - fake name obviously... i wonder what can be done to shut down "savebang.com" who thinks they should get any business at all, when they are criminals looking to steal credit and debit information from their customers... nice try, we consumers know what you are doing and we are coming after you... trust.
WHOA - NO YELLING ON "THE VINE" ? REALLY ?, well I owe you 10.000 apologies... don't I .
I was only letting the spammer know that even though "The Vine" cannot seem to discourage these criminals from using "The Vine" for expanding their Criminal Enterprise... Someone will.
MEA CULPA... oops, (mea culpa... is that better ?)
Crazy Steve-1996926
Remember when Metro cops Mortensen and Brady got caught doing driveby shootings from a SUV in poor neighborhoods for the fun of it, just east of where this last driveby where Kenny Cherry was killed by someone also driving in an SUV? After Brady admitting to being in on the killing Mendoza on one of their joyrides, and both getting jail sentences (2 years later), one of the perps, Mortensen is now trying to get off.
Then too, in the years that followed, it was found that the driveby killings dropped by half in Las Vegas.
Troll,
As a matter of fact you are correct here but also wrong. It is the Republicans, and some Democrats, in the Government that are sinking USPS. Congress passed a bill a ways back requiring USPS to find their pension and retirement funds 75 years in advance.
This is the only reason USPS is bankrupt. Not because the Government is involved but because Republicans are involved.
"I want to hear you scream"..."Play some rap music"... best line ever said by Bruce Willis.
You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded , and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out , you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times.....
And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient , Ed Freeman , died at the age of 80, in Boise , ID ......May God rest his soul..... I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing.

There are more hero's that have died silently than gang bangers making their big debut for one I don't care to hear about a death unless it personally affects me ie: my child, parent, sibling or other family member. Death of a loved one is a personal affair not a media affair. Thank you NBC for being so kind!!!!!
@ LawfulUSCitizen
good call, And thank you for letting me know (at least a little) Ed Freeman.
And to the families of the innocent ones caught up in this 'tiff' between these self absorbed losers, my sincerest, and deepest condolences.

@TrollHarder
Apparently you don't learn enough, GOP is the cause of post office going under because they think it is a good idea to mandate them to set enough money for employee to retirement. No company would be able to survive with that kind of mandate.
If you want to talk about something, learn about it first.
Speaking of the Post Office, I heard from a major ammunition supplier this weekend that the US Postal Service has bought 40 million rounds of .22 LR. Why do they need it, and where did they get the money...from dropping Saturday delivery?
Lawful
The sound of a Huey is mighty comforting, to this day whenever I hear that wop-wop-wop it takes me back to Nam. I wasnt in the Ia Drang Valley, but from what I heard it was a particularly nasty slice of hell. Glad you made it home alive brother, a lot of our friends and comrades didnt.
CreekDog - I've read a few of your posts and always took you as someone who marched to the beat of their own drum, not someone who would pander to the liberals on this board, but apparently I was mistaken.
For you to even imply that there was anything in my post that isn't one hundred percent true and accurate is laughable, and shows me exactly what you're willing to do to gain brownie points with these knuckleheads on here.
Here's what's wrong with the crooked logic people like you try to employ: Yes, other races besides blacks commit crimes, and some ugly ones. Yes, 99% of serial killers are white. Yes, there is such a thing as southern, white, welfare-receiving, trailer park-dwelling trash. And no, you cannot paint an entire race, culture, group, etc. with one broad, sweeping stroke like you liberals are so fond of doing with . . . well . . . let's see . . . religion, the BSA, white Conservatives, etc. etc.
However, when you look at statistics relative to the percentage of the overall population a certain race comprises, there is no denying that blacks are much more prone to committing violent crimes, taking and dealing drugs, walking out on their families, spending time in prison, etc.
And here's something else that's indisputable: There is not a single country in the world dominated by blacks and governed by blacks that could be considered anything other than a dangerous, corrupt, third-world country. None!
And right here in our own country although there are a few white neighborhoods that are not safe to walk through at night, there is not a single all-black neighborhood in the entire country that is ever safe for a white person to walk through at any time of the day or night. Now please explain to all of us why that is exactly?
The thing you liberals don't seem to get is that no matter how badly you want it to be so, it simply isn't racist if it's true. After all, while liberals stand around in their Birkenstocks with their collective heads in the sand, someone has to stay diligent before we completely lose this country of ours.
Lawful, Steve: I'm a former 10+ year Marine. Too young for 'Nam but was in the 1st Gulf war.
I want to thank both of you for your courageous service to our country, and also apologize for the disrespect so many on here show toward you and others like you, as well as the rights and freedoms you risked your lives to protect.
Guys like you and Ed Freeman are the true heroes...
And as we all know that's the one and only casino in Vegas....and it was so important he couldn't tell you the name of the casino...... pretty inconvenient alright....
And NEW Mexico? which one? the old one or the one that use to be called Called " __________"(Pick your state)
Hold on, I'm going to call Judge Chavez a waaambulance.
Guys ... I lived in North Vegas 1978-81 and this was happening there then. More on the weekend when 1/2 a million would come in town. Back then the pop. of Vegas was around 330,000. There was almost 1 killing a day and more on the weekend. Vegas is Vegas !!!!!!!!! If you think I'm kidding go to Vegas and look south on I-15 on a fri nite it's a line of headlites as far as you can see coming to town to party.
Axe me if I care........
Aks me if I care...
ON'T CARE...
I can imagine a whole lot of people smarter. It's quite easy actually, especially when we're given constant and endless daily examples by the NRA and Tea Party.
I wonder what he did before becoming an "aspiring rapper" to afford that maserati....
I'm Betting on not paying child support.
He's a known pimp.
That's what I was wondering. Those things start out around $125K
I was thinking that aspiring pays a lot more now than when I aspired.
Ed 3.5 - you win the wittiest comment award. Nicely phrased.
Trickle up economics Im sure.
He probably rented it.
lisa
I was going to go with probably stole it.
I was going to go with 'Drug Sells and Pimpin'...
Maserati = 100K outright or about 3k a month leased w/ insurance + 10K down
The guy wasn't signed and his work was crap.
Late 20's...
This was drugs, gangs or some other illegal activity. The 'rapping,' has nothing to do with this story.
MSN just gets worse and worse at telling us anything relevant.
If the two words "aspiring rapper" were left out of the story, would this question still be asked? Rappers make a lot of money and so do lawyers and doctors. All 3 could afford a Maserati.
So if it had been an aspiring doctor who had been killed, would you still be asking this question?
The person who was killed was UNARMED. He did not deserve to die, yet many of you seemingly CAN'T WAIT to justify his death or disparage him in death (must've been a pimp, must've been a dead beat dad, must've been a thief). Your comments wreak of racism, intolerance, and unfettered bias.
A man was gunned down at an intersection. If it had been a white guy making his living playing Zeppelin covers in a bar band, his occupation or his musical tastes would never enter the discussion. "Aspiring rapper" clearly changes everything when it should change nothing. Mr. Cherry is no different than a white guy playing classic rock covers in a bar band.
Hold on Harold.....He may have deserved to die! Did you see that video??
I just want to point out that a 2004 Maserati QuatroSport is going for under $40k right now...
I want to be an asiring Rapper if I get a Maseratti out of the deal. I'm guessing he was along the lines of B-Rad from Malibutte' as in Malibu's Most Wanted. Regardless of all of the details I feel bad for all of the families losses.
The best part about rap music is the wonderfully creative stories they tell. It puts you right into a dream.
An aspiring doctor or an aspiring lawyer are not rich yet. They are still paying for school. So yea, I would still ask.
At no point did i ever insinuate that the "aspiring rapper" was not white. So why bring that into the discussion?
Please explain why it should change nothing. There is a whole cultural background to rapping. Why is it that so many rappers have been shot or come from thug life? And you're right in the last aspect, at least if the white guy playing classic rock covers had made some decisions that lead him to be in a situation where he gets shot.
I guess you caught on to what my original question was rhetorically stating.
There is plenty of cultural background to rock music too. While I personally hate Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson, they both have huge followings. And I bet 99.9% of the kids listening to Zombie and Manson are NOT performing satanic rituals with sacrificial killings and the like. Just like 99.9% of kids listening to rap (most of whom are white suburbanites) aren't taking up the gangster lifestyle.
Yep. They dress like gangstas in the same way the goth kids who like Rob Zombie dress up like Satan worshippers. Just cause you're a wannabe doesn't make you the real thing.
How many rappers have been shot from the thug life? I'm going to guess LESS than the amount of rockers who were killed from the drinking/ drug drinking life. Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle, John Bonham, Pigpen McKernan and Brent Mydland (GD), Tommy Bolin (Deep Purple), Lowell George, Elvis, Bon Scott, James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon (both Pretenders), Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy), Hillel Slovak (RHCP), Ike Turner, Steve Clark (Def Leppard), Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon), Brad Nowell (Sublime), Jonathon Melvoin (Smashing Pumpkins), Allen Woody (ABB, Gov't Mule), Layne Staley and Mike Starr (AIC), Dee Dee Ramone, Amy Winehouse. All dead from either overdoses or alcohol toxicity/vomit asphyxiation.
Why is it that so many rock stars have drowned in their own puke from drinking or died from overdoses? Do they come from a drug life?
Are there this many dead rap stars who died from the trapping of their "culture"? If he was an aspiring rock star, would there be this many posts celebrating his death and cheering that's it's just 1 less alcoholic druggie?

Congratulations NBC!!! Even your liberal cohorts acknowledge you are now NUMBER 5!!!!! How about reporting some NEWS instead of pandering for Obama???????? Toilet bowl bound!!!!
Hold on a second there Harold - I quote "most of whom are white suburbanites". There is no statistical data to support this one way or the other, just conjecture. Spewing unsupported BS does not help an argument.
lol...interesting, I wondering what exactly does a Devil Worshipper dress like..?
i have always told my kids, that there are three ways professional musicians die...................................
death by drug overdose
death by aircraft crash
and with rap coming on to the scene ,
death by automatic weapons................the gangsta side that is......................
funny but true to a point
not all rap is bad there is some really cool stuff out there,give it a listen.
there is really bad music in all forms,some of it is great and some is bad , and some of it is over promoted and it really sucks, justin bieber is proof of that. but even the really bad ones you hear on the radio or a cd, are getting paid. now THAT is a real tragedy!
We hear from his family that he did Gangsta rap but he wasn't that kind of person.More clueless people.An aspiring rap artist from Oakland,California,gang capitol of our state.I'm betting this was a drug deal gone bad.Whoever killed him and the innocent taxi driver with a passenger(so charred the person can't be identified),they will be sorry.Nevada prisons are not a nice place to spend the rest of your life.These thugs can share a cell with OJ Simpson,another murderer of innocent people.
Since you're "Busy in NV," are you talking from experience?
I love the way the white folks are going off the deep end with their racist ignorance, but, they'll turn around and lie right to your face and say, "I'm not racist!!"
"The white folks" - mushmouth. You want to see racist; look in the mirror.
Liberals Steal Your Money
Country music is about crying in your beer because you lost your girl, Rap is about hitting you with the beer bottle, before they shoot or stab you for stealing their string of ho's, or just wearing the wrong color.
The blame here goes to Political Correctness. The police aren't allowed to profile. So, gangs roll into town and nobody dares to stop them and check for weapons. This isn't the first gang shooting in Las Vegas and it won't be the last. Frankly, I think society has a right to expect that we should be protected from these anti-social cretins. We need a zero tolerance policy on gangbangers.
There something to say for the old Chicago controlled days with Tony S. There way what happens in Vegas stays in Veags, a hole in Vegas.
How hilarious would it be if Dave Matthews was in the Range Rover and John Mayer in the Maserati.
Hard core thugs they are...
Need to bring back the Mafia. They didn't put up with any bs like this, the harbors and rivers of NJ and NY are full of dudes who wanted to be flashy and kill for no reason. Let the dons back out of prison, give them some federal funds to get them started again and this will all go away. They ran a better lottery too, no taxes for the real criminals to get. Omerta.
If Obama had an aspiring rapper son he would look like Clutch.
Luv it Marcus!!
chris, nice... there'd be far too much weed coming out of the windows for them to see each other.
All you people dissing Rap. I am white and 54 years old. Some of it is really good and entertaining. I have several "RAP" records. Give it a break would you? God almighty people. Such haters man.... ease up....
54 years old and listening to rap huh?
Grow the @!$%# up!
Fall 1979,The Dawn of this music on charts: Rappers Delight, Sugar Hill Gang(NYC). He not to old to b e a fan. May God Have Mercy(RIP) on the innocent victms.
I'm70 and listen to RAP!

How do you define a gangbanger visually? You can't! I wear a suit and tie at work and wear what some would describe as "urban hip hop" clothing when I'm not at work. Does that make me a gangbanger? Just as I cannot call a white guy in tight jeans, leather boots and a bald head, a skin head. You can't "judge a book by it's cover." If you went around profiling so called "gangbangers" that means you would have to harass everybody. Lets not forget black people don't hold the market on gangs. If he were white he would not be associated with a gang although there are white gangs in America just as there are latino, asian, jewish, and italian gangs just to name a few. We need to think before we make such remarks....
If you can't define what a gangbanger looks like,you better
be careful where you go and who you look at in a certain way!
Basically it comes down to thugs killing other thugs. That's why the police don't give a s--t. Unfortunately innocent people get in the line of fire from time to time. The gang banger problem is almost as hard to solve as our national debt. You would have to put the national guard in some of these neighborhood's for extended periods of time to eradicate these thugs.
The people I really feel sorry for are the law abiding black folk in these neighborhood's that are trying to bring their kids up right.
Effumann,You said that there are Jewish gangs.That's a new one to me.If you come to California I can show you who the Hispanic,Asian and Black gangs are by their attire and neighborhood.The Russian Mafia is another story in California.I couldn't tell you who they are but I am sure the good people in Sacramento know what they look like.
cleaning lady
Of course there are Jewish gangs, its called Hollywood and Wall St.
"A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more than 100 men with guns".....Don Corleone
Gee, rapper from Oakland CA, driving a Maserati, getting shot up by a driver in a Range Rover. It must have been road rage because looking at the various elements involved, there is no way there was any criminal activity involved.
Can you imagine the rage when someone cuts you off at the Hotel Parking Garage Payment Booth? "Quick honey, hand me the Glock and the Uzi, this guy is mine".
No, I can't imagine. I best Oscar Pistorius could, though.
When I first heard this story, I suspected that Celine Dion was in the Maserati and Wayne Newton was driving the Range Rover
...boy, was I ever wrong!
Aspiring rapper my azz, it takes a lot of money to have that car, and he is being responsibel and taking care of those kids right? Sure. To bad MSNBC doesn't call this exactly what it is, black and black crime again. but we had better take away everybodys guns because 13% of the populations is responsibe for more than half of all homicides. Take care of your damn kids so I don't have to. Surprise Jessie Jackson doesn't say anything, but oh thats right he is visiting his son in prison. What a credible voice he has become.
DM57 declaring the truth around here will only lead to mass cries of, "Racist!" by the brain donors on the left. They'd rather spew the same tired old rhetoric demonizing inanimate objects than tackle the real issues which are cultutral and behavioral. I personally would like to see our politically leaders address the evils of lifelong government dependancy and personal accountability but this would be taboo in the realm of the politically correct.
Am I a Racist if I say they ALL look like Obama's son? OR is HE the only on that can say that?
DM57, when someone on the Right tries to claim there is no racism in their party, I will fondly think of you. Thanks. And I love your malapropism, "black and black crime." Like this crime was doubly black -- so black that it was black twice. But there's no racism on the Right. *wink
So he is not allowed to have that for what again? What happened to if you work hard enough for something you can get it?
nbones-95 so you can make fun of things but but you can't discount fact. Let me see you are an English major right, parents are paying for your school and you have been a parasite your entire life. Here is me azz, middle 50s, two kids in college, make 6 figures, went back to school in my 30s,Master, Cpa, former Peace Corp, kind of green so ride a bus. There smart azz, ride an inner city bus some day. But you grew up in a gated community right, in your parents home. Black on black violence is real and if this president is the one person, if he has the courage, who could bring it up. 20% of black are raised in 2 parent families and black fathers are not taking care of their kids. (Did I write that OK, I know you are to gutless to talk to the facts so I hope I am gramatically correct) So nbones-95, kiss my azz, gutless wonders like you and the extreme left are exactly the same as the tea party and the white trailer trash that composes it. You never have and never will contribute a single damn thing to life.
Back east, it would only go there if they were pulling out of Popeyes slinging drumsticks first.......your right on the money.
DM57: YOU talk like a fool!! What in the Hell can OBAMA say about black on black crime? Some of you knows nothing about the streets.Bill Cosby,AL Sharpton , Oprah,etc..Who are they ? They can,t street guys what to do! I know the streets of New York palm of my hand. The will listen to old timers like me.They look up fearless street wise old guy. these guy don't care anything about the people you guys think they should admire.
It's sad to see innocent people die at the hands of degenerate pond scum thugs that haven't got one shred of empathy for human life. I hope the police find these vile little maggots and put them where they belong, with their peers, for the rest of their pathetic waste of flesh lives.
Let us not forget that the the fighters came from a single parent home and it is whitey's fault.
@Ed.....exactly! Nothing the blacks ever do wrong is their fault.....just axe them.
Im sorry that the blacks ancestors were slaves, that wasnt cool, but why do they think that they should get a free pass because of it? Whites dont owe blacks anything, blacks owe it to themselves to get past slavery and move on. Most whites have ancestors who were slaves, but we got over it, maybe its time blacks did too, you cant move to the future if youre stuck in the past.
Surely you are not suggesting that drugs, prostitution, loan sharking, or other entrepenuerial enterprises that would force a person to carry a firearm in the city of sin were in play here. The best part of this horrific firefight and explosion was the claim by police and city officials, "This was an isolated incidence" and "Las Vegas is a safe place for visitors". Just read the Police Reports for the last two months.
From what I can tell, "Aspiring Rapper" covers thousands of people.
Ricardo
"Aspiring Rapper" covers any black who can talk, and the mutes who have the ability to sign with one hand and grab their crotch with the other.
We need a Federal law making it illegal to be incompatible with society. Pay some country like North Korea to accept and deal with violators as they see fit for the remainder of their lives.
How does an "aspiring" rapper afford a Maserati?
Drug money....or should I say Du-uh?
The eyes were on the Prize. And that Prize was freedom, dignity, & equality. But somehow the Prize became wealth and fame and the lust for those things spawned this terrible breed of lost in human being that relies on exploiting human weakness and the threat of violence to get there.
Why aren't these people and their acts labeled as terrorists/terrorism?
good riddance
Left behind three children. No wife. No girlfriend. At least he won't be making any more "baby mamas". Good riddance. If only the gene pool were always so easy to cleanse. obaa-baa-ma gimme my obamaphone!!
Probably the aspiring rapper stole the car from a drug dealer and got tapped for his trouble...
Well this really is the positive thing about rap - they are shooting each other... continue gangstas...
I'm sure the innocent people in this don't agree.
No, I think this kind of gutter trash on gutter trash is just fine. Hooray, another piece of trash bites the dust. His kids are already on welfare so no harm there.
Hank- -let's be fair--you don't know whether or not his kids are on welfare. Their mother may be a hard-working woman who supports them and doesn't take from the taxpayers. Just sayin- -
He's right, Hank, she's probably a bright young woman who will hoam skuul the children.
...an "aspiring" rapper in a $250,000 car at age 27 has three kids (by how many baby mama's?)... no one has ever heard of him so, why are the rest of us struggling so hard pay our bills with real jobs?.....we better pull our pants down below our asses and start working on those third grade rhyming words, yo....
Yo Blow !
You'er my mama ho!
Grab my crotch!
don't make me cry!
If you don't I'll make you die!
I'm 55 and white think I got what it takes??
LOL! Isn't that the truth.
Bubba, just throw this in and you got a HIT SINGLE!
Slap your bi&tch cross the face
Sh00t your momma in the head and grab her purse
Dont take that job, its fuh suckas!
On your knees ho..
There ya go, add those lines to your HIT SINGLE and your now an "aspiring rapper". Just add the usual jungle beat that they all use. No need to make up any music to go with those inspiring words our kids are growing up listening to, just use the same ol beat.
Shovelface & Bubba at the Grammies, I fall down on the red carpet, I got no AZZ to keep my pants up. Besides they aresst me for being a dirty old man if I grabed my crotch in front of kids.
You are bi!%@ honey in the light

Tupac-shabubba, Two-bits_bubba_ho-dropa, hmmmm. We definitely need to find you a good stage name and some neck bling. Maybe some 22" rims fo yo ride....
You guys are on a roll, daggone! LOL!
Bubba & Shovelface,
I think you two need to get together and put together a cd, send it to 'weezy' ya know Lil Wayne, or Kanye West, they might set you two up... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Two bad it wasn't them two in the Taxi...

Can you throw me some beat box and I'll rap a limerick:
There once was a man from New Brighton
Who said to his wife, "you're a tight one"
She said, "upon my soul, you're in the wrong hole, but there's plenty of room in the right one."
Shovelface and Bubba
I think you're acting like Red neck white people with no brains. Sad but true
may I also suggest a wicked, yet tasteful tattoo on the face
Brooke, lighten up!
robbopaloobop, a tasteful tat for a rapper, an AK with shells ejecting on the cheek shooting up into the eye??
Brooke in the dale
Take it EZ
Neks get red in the AZ
We might be a little laid back and lazy
But I read in the paper like you we aren't Crazy
Im a bad Mo Fo from Nantuckett
My Johnson so long I can suck it
An I says with a grin while I wipes off my chin
If my ear was a Ho I could phuck it.
And that be a rap....:)
Rapper. Why am I not surprised?
Kenny Cherry had multiple arrests for gun charges, one resulting in a conviction in 2007. Sounds like a low life scum bucket has removed another low life scum bucket from the earth.
Who wants lunch?
Remember though, Obamarama says we're all equal. Who knows those involved could have been his sons.
What about the two people who burned to death because of this violence, you puke?
What about them, Sandy? Birds of a feather flock together, right? So, in my opinion, 2 extra gooses were cooked. Nothing lost.
Any tourist could have been in that cab. I wouldn't say that they were birds of a feather or that they deserved to be cooked just because they were at the wrong intersection at the wrong time.
farmall... the 2 that burned were innocent people in a cab, completely unrelated to what happened at the intersection. They were victims, pure and simple. They could have easily been your relatives or friends.
I don't at all minimize the deaths of the two people in the taxi or those injured. My point was that the shooting occurred between two groups of people who, based on a variety of self-evident variables, are predisposed to blast away at each other with little to no regard for the safety of others.
rap a rap a rap they called him the rapper, rap a rap a rap you know what he's after. If he's not dealin , he buyin, any way he pi$$ed somebody off
You all notice the usual libtards are strangely silent on this story, right? Fisty, Pigot, Seeking Stupidity, Mullato Mamma, where are you? What? Doesn't fit your agenda? Doesn't fit your employer's (MSNBC) agenda? Stoopid racist libtards. obaa-baa-ma gimmemy obamaphone!!
I am a democrat and fine with this trash on trash killing. Catlover? That's rich and you have issue with "Mullato". Calling others racist, that's really the pot calling the kettle er, black. You are the cat lady because you are too fat and obnoxious to fina a man let alone any friends. Crawl back into your litterbox and STFU.
I also notice the bigots are all out in full force. Please, continue to show your true colors. We'll watch.
HAHAHAHA Stoopid libtard sheep. obaa-baa-ma gimme my obamaphone!! I love how the tolerance you libtards profess and demand of others stops when confronted by an opposing view. Is there no room for people to think differently? You don't even know if I'm a woman or a man, black or white. There are a good many people of color who don't buy into all this PC crap. You won't hear about it here, though. Stoopid racist libtards. Your assumptions regarding my race expose you for the racists you are. And about my sex, the sexist pigs you are. Got a mirror? Come on, make some more assumptions based on your narrow libtard, lib-world views. obaa-baa-ma. Sheep!
Oh catlover: The phone is for low income people. It is called lifeline. You get 200 minutes a month to use. Not very many. Just enough to let a senior or disabled person know that if an emergency should arise they can make that call. So try growing up and stop the hate. You may be in a situation some day when you will need a hand up. Now go play with your cats.
I wonder if Obuma's ILLEGAL Aunt and Uncle have one heck she got a hip replacement and #8 housing from us the taxpayer !
wytravelr: Where do you get your information? And if they are illegal as you say, and living on Section 8 housing (NOT #8 housing) it is your duty as a taxpayer to report fraud, if indeed you know for a fact that they are defrauding the Government. Do you have the facts? Maybe you just got that info from Rush or Hannity the two most real Patriots on the planet!
NoNation, it's been on the news. ALL the news. King Hussein decreed that they shoul not be deported because they MIGHT face hardships because of their relationship with the King. Funny thing is, they aren't even his real relatives. His real father was Frank Marshall Davis, the communist radical. Read here if you dare:

Stoopid libtard sheep. obaa-baa-ma gimme my obamaphone!!
catlover: Been on ALL the news? Oh, conservative news and the internet? I got it! Now I KNOW for sure it is true! It HAS to be true! You must be retarded, I pity your poor cats! Oh, and you may well be entitled to a phone. After all mental illness is a disability. And I am sure you will meet the income requirements.
If this guy had been in the Navy he could have been a Sea Rapper, aka C-rapper.
God, you people make me sick and sad that I am a white American. Shame on you ALL
Brooke - I am sad you are a white american too! HA
Explain me two things.
1. How a 27 year old dropout moron has a Maserati
2. Why it's so horrible (and unexpected) that somebody shot him?
I'm with you how does that add up to being a Maserati owner. More likely he rented it with a stolen credit card. And when they say "aspiring rapper " aspiring to what. Rapping has a cult following made up of people for the most part with limited education and hoodlums. Most of them have very little respect for anything or anybody. Basically rapping has a great attraction for people in general that have a very low mentality. If I have offended them then my day has been made perfect
Sorry One Nation. It has been on the news. They both live in Boston. Auntie in Dorchester illegally, and Uncle, who works in a liquor store and was caught drunk-driving, which led to his deportation hearings. In fact, Uncle told the Boston PD to call the President as they were arresting him. Not Barack's fault, but they curiously have been given a pass so far, when others are sent packing.
Aspiring rap artist, sure he was. Unmarried criminal gangsta wanna be driving a 200,000 dollar car, not very good at being a tuff guy did not even get any shots off. To bad they didn't kill each other off. Good riddance scum bags.
Agreed, but there's always more talentless people out there to take his place. Oh well, its not like he had a job or anything to contribute to who he thought was his kids. I bet it wasn't an hour after she heard about it before she was standing in the welfare line giving them some sob story about not making enough screwing every door knob that came around.
Hope Mr. Cherry didnt decline Hertz's collision damage waiver on that rental.....
How much do you want to bet this POS also did the welfare thing. Another of obama's suffering 47 percent. I know longer have compassion when trash like this dies.
Did someone say "expiring rapper?" I'm all choked up. What a loss to Oakland. Think of all the good things he would have given.
And it's not like his three kids lost a father!
ZING!
I wish he would have stayed in Oakland. That way they could have thrown him off the Bay Bridge and no one else would have been hurt.
Isnt Oakland where San Francisco keeps its ghetto?
Wannabe poser probably started the whole thing
Oh my, aren't rappers ever so classy. I have no sympathy for those POS.
Actually the gentleman in the Maserati tried to abscond with gentleman in the Range Rovers Grey Poupon.....so dude hadda pop a cap in his ass!
Well, why it is sad Innocent people were killed, another crap rapper gangsta was taken out of the gene pool.Wish all gang bangers could be taken out of the gene pool...every last one of them.
