Yes, you read it right folks. Five teenaged males getting offed in a hail of bullets might possibly be drug related!
Color me utterly shocked!
Isn't this sort of the same thing as pointing out the Pope may be Catholic?
Woof! OK, so I am cranky this morning.
Are our news services really getting this vapid? Oh, wait, I forgot, the bothered to tell us where Britteny Spears is having her baby.
Never mind.

Just to be clear, I was not mocking those that died. It is indeed sad and a shame and a waste of life.
I was mocking our news organizations for telling us something that was actually pretty obvious to start with.
I really don't know what to say about the violence centered around drugs, except there is obviously something pretty wrong with the way we are handling the laws on them. Of course, that would be another question and another -5 points...

HOLY SHIITE! THE POPE IS CATHOLIC?!?! WHERE DID YOU READ THAT? I haven't gotten to that part in the bible yet! thanks for spoiling it! you really should warn people about spoilers like that so they know if they come here, you're going to ruin the plot!

Thats pretty sad and its a shame, I dont think it's appropriate to be mocking, those people died.
The REAL shame is that when the president chokes on a pretzel or when Britney Spears gets pregnant it makes news for days, and real life stories like this get overlooked.

This happens every day in the US and now that New Orleans is being repopulated we will continue to see this type of thing coming out of New Orleans. I live close to Dallas and since the evacuees came here our crime rate (which was high enough) has sky rocketed. Especially violent crimes (rapes especially). Personally, I think that Louisiana needs a much stiffer penalty phase of their judicial system.
As for the report, I found it amusing where it said that the motive was obvious, "They wanted them dead." Well, duh! Drug related - what isn't anymore?

The News in US is really getting retarded. CBS is trying to get rid of Dan Rather. We need more men of integrity like Old School Dan Rathers, Peter Jennings, or Larry King who take responsibility and ups the quality of worthy news that increases the knowledge of average Americans. Instead of people like Dan, networks want ratings so they replace him with Hacks like O'Reilly and Hannity.
Luckily theres hope, with a new breed of reporters like Anderson Cooper.

A recent visit in Germany by the pope shows that he doesn't know GOD,hence the question,
"God,why didn't you help the people here.(concentration camps)
The 5 teeanage boys didn't either.
You are referring to old services,we are installing the new ones now by your very question.brittney speares is irrellevant.

I thought the same thing. Like doesn't this happen every day around the U.S.? Since it's New Orleans it makes news?

The more complex the game of deception gets, the more those who control it will try to distract us with CRAP in the media. Maybe that's when we KNOW something's really going on in the background...
...hmmm...
