The Golden Gang Banger Award

The race pimps have been hard at work ever since Trayvon Martin met his demise at the hands of your friendly neighborhood watchman. It's a shame that their attention doesn't include some of the following:
Two weekends ago in Chicago:

Ten killed and forty wounded in one of the most violent Chicago weekends in recent history.

A rare testimony to the efficacy of strict gun control laws. Bravo Chicago!

Last Thursday in Chicago:

Thirteen men shot — two fatally — during a violent six-hour stretch in Chicago.

The wind in the Windy City is being caused by people running away from gunfire.

Then again (surprise!), last night in Chicago:

One dead and eight wounded in overnight shootings. Police report that nine people were shot between 11:10 p.m. Saturday and 5 a.m. Sunday.

Apparently Chicago is seeking to win the coveted Golden Gang Banger Award previously held by Detroit for this incredible display of marksmanship last August, 2011:

Violence has erupted in Detroit. Since 6 a.m. Friday 16 people have been shot, 7 of those are now dead, and the Detroit News reports that police are scrambling to curb the bloodshed which has put the city on pace for 350 murders this year.

Then just a few weeks ago Detroit shows the 2012 Golden Gang Banger Award Selection Committee that it is serious in passing the reins to a new generation of murderous thugs:

Three teenagers, all between the ages of 14 and 15, have been charged in two separate incidents involving a mother shot to death in her own home and a six year old child killed in the cross fire of a carjacking spree.

Not satisfied with their most recent triumph, just a week later, Detroit dares to push the envelope again:

A nine-month-old boy is shot as he slept after a fight over the seating arrangements at a baby shower. Thirty-seven rounds from an AK-47 were fired into the home, killing the child.

Detroit is the city to watch as they have definitely upped their game. But both Detroit and Chicago need to keep an eye on an up and coming underdog during this March Murder Madness.

Yesterday in North Miami:

A shooting rampage at a Miami-Dade wake where one member of a gang touched the deceased and a member from another gang took offense. Two people were killed and twelve others were shot in this outbreak of mayhem outside the funeral home.

This Darwin Award funeral was for twenty-one year old Morvin Andre who plunged to his death from the fourth floor of a parking garage while trying to evade arrest for petite larceny.

Now the good news; Morvin was successful as no charges were filed and he got to keep the bag of Skittles.
