Edd’s MANtra: More Senseless Violence

While I’m certainly not a fan of “Teach Me How to Dougie,” I was saddened to hear this. From cnn.com:

Rapper M-Bone of the group Cali Swag District died Sunday night in what police said was a drive-by shooting in his hometown, Inglewood, California.

M-Bone, whose real name was Montae Talbert, was sitting in a car in the 400 block of North LaBrea Avenue when a car pulled up next to his and someone fired two rounds that struck the rapper in his head, Inglewood Police Lt. Steve Overly said Monday.

Talbert, 22, died later at a hospital, Overly said.

We seem to lose at least one rapper to violence every six to eight months. Many have just become desensitized to the violence, but I continue to struggle with it. This dude was just 22 years old – his life had barely begun.

I think I might just bust out a Dougie, in honor of the guy.
