Black on Black crime has been going on for many, many years now. Its not ObamaNation. Not all black people are criminals, just like not all whites are bigots. The families and the leaders ignore the reality of what the words of a negative rap song is doing to there own communities.

Hearts - what a perfect analysis of the situation. Who could ever have seen this one coming - to be honest, one would be surprised if it didn't end one way or the other like this.

So much denial in the Black community and so little time! ObamaNation is alive and thriving!

"Dont go there", Why do you post without reading? There was not an exchange of Gun Fire! Only one person was shooting, the thug in the Range Rover. Why must people like you make things worse then they are! You are like News3, you just can not get the facts straight! People like you blow things way out of proportion!

Don't cry for 'Kenny Clutch,' an affliction waiting to happen Posted: Feb. 24, 2013 | 2:21 a.m. Updated: Feb. 24, 2013 | 8:18 a.m. The bullet Kenny Cherry Jr. courted left the barrel years ago. It arrived early Thursday morning on Las Vegas Boulevard and put the 27-year-old hustler with delusions of grandeur in the national spotlight for half a news cycle. While police investigated leads and identified a suspect in the shooting, Cherry's father, Kenneth Cherry Sr., held a news conference Saturday and defended his son, calling him a victim and a good kid who only played a tough guy in YouTube videos. Cherry Jr. called himself "Kenny Clutch," and published reports have referred to him as an "aspiring rapper" who delivered uninspiring ditties via YouTube that celebrated a thug life teeming with pimps, whores, drugs, guns and money. He knew plenty about all of that. According to court documents, Cherry was a stone pimp who beat his women and spent the money they earned turning tricks in Strip casinos. He was fond of weed and narcotic cough syrup and his reflection in a nightclub mirror. He died like a bad rap song, and good riddance. The real tragedy is that he took two innocent bystanders with him when his leased Maserati plowed into a Desert Cab on the Boulevard at Flamingo Road. Driver Michael Boldon, 62, and his passenger, Maple Valley, Wash., tourist Sandra Sutton-Wasmund, 48, were engulfed in a ball of fire when the cab's gas tank exploded. I'm sure there's a rap lyric in there somewhere. No one with a scintilla of conscience would try to find it. Cherry had a few minor brushes with local law enforcement - speeding tickets in which he gave the officer a California driver's license with an Oakland address - but his lack of convictions in Nevada don't tell the story. Despite having no visible means of income, he drove a Maserati and stayed in a $2,900-a-month condominium at the Metropolis at 360 E. Desert Inn Road.
