Don't cry for 'Kenny Clutch,' an affliction waiting to happen!

[ohiosmith]

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.

1. While I think very poorly of rap, I am not comfortable with this level of real life grave dancing

2. A no hit wonder Rap star, was just a cover for his other activities....

no one seems to know or speak about. Too bad the other victims in his dance of death aren't getting the attention.

7. FYI this is the paper that sued DU a couple of years ago

Although they used a legal-mill proxy. It's a right wing paradise where the conservative viewpoint has infiltrated even the factual reporting. The entire editorial staff got shitcanned a few years ago and it's STILL the biggest right wing shill of a daily paper I've ever seen.

Not to mention that when they need to report on schools or teachers, they either quote a locally-based Koch-funded group or actually just make stuff up from scratch. Never seen anything like it, not even on Fox.

Even though it's my local daily, I won't click on their links because that's how they make their money.
