Seattle Streets in Crisis: 11 shot, 1 stabbed and 4 dead in spree of weekend violence
Filed Under News, Monk Wordsmith | Leave a Comment
SEATTLE —It was a violent weekend in the Seattle area with five shootings that left four people dead and six wounded.
Police are looking into the possibility that a Sunday night shooting that wounded two teens in a south Seattle parking lot was a gang retaliation for Saturday’s shooting that killed one teen and wounded another at the Southcenter Mall in Tukwila.
One man was killed early Sunday outside a nightclub, Vito’s Madison Grill, in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood.
One man who was found shot to death in a parked car Sunday on Pacific Highway South in Kent.
One man was killed and three others were wounded in a shooting early Saturday outside a restaurant, Afriq African Cuisine, in the Skyway area south of Seattle. (Seattle Times)
This weekend was crazy. Seattle experienced a rash of gun violence unlike any we’ve seen in quite a long time. As of Sunday night 4 people were killed and a dozen seriously wounded in violent incidents over 3 days. All of the murders involved young people of color in the South-end or South King County……The shooting at Southcenter Mall was the most heinous act bringing about the most media attention as the violence that has been plauging the hood suddenly became a problem for suburban holiday shoppers……I was most disturbed by the shooting which happened right around my way in Skyway. It happened at a spot I’ve frequented more than a few times and it underscores what has been goin on way to often in the South-end since the late spring, youth violence. By the time I heard about the final shooting at ”Rainey” on Sunday I was trippin……
The city has been ignoring the persistence of youth violence in the South-End for way too long. 2009 has seen gun violence take the lives of Seattle’s black and brown youth over and over again and nobody in a position of power seems to care. All they no how to do is pass more generic, counterproductive ‘gang laws’. Crime is reaching historic lows on one side of the tracks and epidemic highs on the other…..It’s obvious that there are two Seattles here…….and the Seattle that city hall and suburbia don’t want to see is making its presence felt as its violence boils over. It’s up to those of us who care to do someting about the violence and to force the politicians to act or send them packing. This is a problem which was born in the community and must be solved by it. To be continued…………..

Admittedly cliche, coffee has gradually become a staple in the studio. Although there “aint nuthin like a brew”, Starbucks has salvaged many a studio session and will most likely continue to as ‘09 approaches and we grind even harder on this new LP. Stay tuned..

The Bay Area has been a major stage for hip hop for decades. The early nineties saw classic releases from artists like Too Short, Digital Underground, Mac Mall, MC Hammer (yes MC Hammer) and a bunch of others. Not to be excluded from that list is RBL Posse, who’s classic song, Don’t Gimme No Bammer Weed, still goes hard.

The Sweet Science part 3.. the best fighter you’ve never heard of!
Filed Under Sports, Justo, The Sweet Science | Leave a Comment
Personally my 2nd favorite fighter next to the Great Manny Pacquiao is a 6’3” welterweight by the name of Paul “The Punisher” Williams (above). Paul has had such a hard time getting anyone of significance to fight him at 147lbs that he has been forced to fight his last 2 bouts at higher weight classes. Williams is kinda a freak of nature with his speed, volume of punching (averaging over 100 punches per round), and his reach at 82 INCHES!! (To put that in perspective the 2 Klitchko brothers that have been at the top of the heavyweight division for the past decade have spans of 80 and 81 inches respectively!)
After avenging his 1st and only loss to Carlos Quintana (via a 1ST ROUND KO, ala Jones jr. vs. Montell Griffin!), William’s followed suit with another 1st round KO of Andy Kolle at 158lbs. Now Williams attempts to again fight up at light middleweight to take on WBO title holder Verno Phillips who is coming off victories over top names like Corey Spinks, Teddy Reid, Ike Quartey and Julian Jackson (though I’m forced to qualify this statement by saying all these fighters are arguably either overrated or past their prime).
The fight is on the 29th of this month in Killa -Cali and I’m picking my guy Paul to win by either KO or UD! Check him out, the boy is straight filth out there.
Another fighter, who wants no part of Paul, “Sugar” Shane Mosley is switching plans to take on undefeated top contender Andre Berto on Jan 24th on HBO. Originally Mosley was supposed to fight the great champ Antonio Margarito (who, by the way, was utterly sunned by Paul Williams on HBO last year, see pic above) but Margarito backed out of the deal citing that it was revenge for being turned down by De La Hoya and Golden boy promotions… wow that’s idiotic sounding.
I pick Berto to win by Split Decision.
