Culture Buzz For those who haven't been closely following this tragic story, here's a primer on the awful facts surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin. There is plenty in here to warrant outrage.
Culture Buzz Sad commentary on our priorities as a nation or the saddest?

Because sometimes you need reassurance that the attempted murderer isn’t going to sue you for shooting at him. Sarah McKinley, an eighteen year old widow, waited with surprising calm as her stalker made his way through the house towards her and her infant son.
Culture Buzz Disturbing. In order to better reconstruct his horrific shooting spree, Oslo authorities returned Anders Breivik to Utoya Island. A police spokesman later said Breivik showed no remorse as he detailed his cold-blooded execution of 69 people, mostly teenagers.

Culture Buzz A gunman dressed as a police officer opened fire on an island youth camp outside of Oslo, Norway shortly after the devastating bombing within the city.

[Ed. note: Here is an entirely contextless video of a small child shooting his dad in the stomach with a gun. YouTube is full of all kinds of stuff, apparently.] Guess you shouldn't let babies play with guns. Who knew?
Another patriotically bad-ass presidential portrait from Jason Heuser, this time depicting the Father of Our Country slaying his way through the zombocalypse. He chopped through that zombie's brain pan like it was a cherry tree.
A Fox News crew was attacked by mourners at a Sacramento IHOP while attempting to cover a shooting death in the parking lot. What is it about 24 hour chain diners that bring out the worst in people?
A video shot by Jared Lee Loughner in which you hear the accused Tucson killer's voice for the first time. Removed from Youtube in September but resurfacing today, the video is shot from Loughner's perspective as he walks around the campus of Pima Community College. Loughner describes the college as a “genocide school” and accuses it of engaging in “the torture of students.”
Howard Stern had some choice words for Sarah Palin regarding her handling of the shooting in Tucson. The kindest thing he could find to say about her was that she was a “fucking crybaby.” It goes downhill from there. Because Howard Stern's the political commentator America deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
In light of current events, this is more ominous than funny. But still pretty funny.
One ball less. [Ed. note: But what is he holding? Why the sash? So many questions!]
Los Angeles based filmmaker and one-time professional gamer FreddieW's low-budget parody of first person games like Call of Duty. One day video games will really look like this, which is a slightly disconcerting thought.
Culture Buzz Video of a man interrupting a school board meeting in Panama City, Fla., spray painting a red “V” on the wall, then shooting at the board members. He fortunately missed and no board members were harmed. The man, Clay Duke, later shot himself. This video does not contain footage of his suicide.
When Hollywood inevitably ends up making the Lego Movie, let's just hope it is as badass as this. Violence!

Celebrity Buzz Irish alleged Assassin used Facebook to talk about his 'hobby' of shooting. He and his Facebook friend were shot dead in a downtown Bolivian, Santa Cruz hotel on Thursday 16th April. See Michael Dwyer's Facebook here! Facebook ‘Gun For Hire’ Michael Dwyer, alleged Bolivian Presidential Assassin used his Facebook and Bebo profile to talk about his ‘habit’ of shooting, and dressing up in Military Fatigues. Dwyer, who is accused by the Bolivian Government and Police of being involved in an assassination attempt of Evo Morales, was shot dead in a shoot out at a downtown Bolivian Hotel, where his Facebook friend, Eduardo Rozsa Flores (49) was also killed. Flores was Bolivian/Hungarian and was Commander of a Balkan Brigade in 1991 during the war there. Dwyer, 24, was a graduate of Galway Institute of Technology. His favourite television show according to his FaceBook profile was The Unit, an American drama based on a top-secret counter-terrorism military unit. Recently he had uploaded hundreds of photographs entitled “hols” showing him and unidentified friends socialising in high spirits in what is believed to be Bolivia.
