FYI, "9News" is the promotional name for KUSA-TV, the NBC affilliate in Denver. It's a pretty good news organization, owned by Gannett Corporation.
The Broncos, as a team, fly to Texas today for the funeral after having met with Williams' mother in a reported very emotional meeting yesterday. |

Fan950 reported that the Tahoe was painted black (except for the roof -- how subtle!) and not burned. I'm not familiar with the Green Valley Ranch area, but it's out in what I would consider the boonies, although the Mr. says there are houses and stuff there. If you look at an aerial image of the area (you can see one here) it looks like it was found at the end of a street in a suburban-sprawl type neighborhood. That seems like a weird place to leave it -- did they know someone living in that community or was it chosen at random? If it was random, why there, where I'd guess someone would promptly notify the police on noticing a weirdly painted Tahoe? I hope there's a wealth of forensic evidence -- LOL I sound like Dayle Hinman from Court TV. |

Also, take back what I said earlier about where the car was found -- it actually was at 38th & Himalaya, which is not in a subdivision. Now the police are looking for three gang members -- story here. I've heard there are pictures/sketches out there, but haven't seen them yet. ETA: here's an article about the clubs on South Broadway, where Darrent was hanging out before he was killed. ETA again: The Club Shelter Myspace sent out the following bulletin: There seems to be a witch hunt for the wrong person going on here! All stories like this do is draw attention away from the fact that a young man has died due to an act of horrific and senseless violence. I heard a point worth passing along: If the story were to focus on the fact Darrent Williams' vehicle was shot at numerous times on a DENVER street where the crime occurred, then we as a city would have to admit that our streets are unsafe, but if the focus is put on a nightclub or it's owner then we can rest easily. I doubt that this area of town looks any different than LoDo's does at 2am. But that seems to be a santioned area by media and city officials. Why the lack of focus on the real issue? I think these guys are assholes of the highest order, but that's just me. |

The part of the article that really pisses me off is this:
When contacted at her home Thursday, James declined to talk about who might have been driving her husband's Tahoe, saying to do so wouldn't be "doing any good." "I ask people to pray for us," James said. "We are victims in all of this, too." No, you stupid cow, you're not victims. Saying that it wouldn't be "doing any good" to talk about who might have had the Tahoe implies that she knows who it was but she's too much of a pussy/bitch/accomplice to say anything. It takes A LOT for me to be disgusted with people. A lot. I'm so disgusted with this I don't even know where to begin. Also, Rev. Kelly called into the sports radio station the other day -- he has a website. |
The shooter was probably someone from Iverson's posse.

As for Rev. Kelly, as I recall he lost a son to gang violence some years ago which started his anti-gang campaign. He's a pretty street savvy guy. |
