WEST PALM BEACH— Police are investigating three shooting deaths, two of which occurred at the same apartment complex within 12 hours of each other.

Around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, a 25-year-old man was found, shot in the face, at 1017 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Police identified him as Edward Burkes, who was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he died. Police are treating Burkes' death as a homicide.

At approximately 3 p.m., another man was shot and killed at the same two-story building — an empty lot away from Hook Fish & Chicken, which sits at the corner of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and Tamarind Avenue.

The "homies" tend to vote for liberals.

The situation grew emotional with the arrival of family members of the victim, whom police have not yet publicly identified. "All the homies dying," said one bystander.

Don't be a homie...

Sometimes I wonder if people so degraded and depraved in life actually DO vote at all...

When notified of Burke’s death, economist Adam Smith was quoted as saying that Burke was “the only man I ever knew who thinks on economic subjects exactly as I do, without any previous communications having passed between us”.

If they don’t vote, I’m sure that somebody in ACORN or the SEIU will vote for ‘em.

These people who should be praying the the Government would lock up the bad guys , are doing just the opposite they believe that too many bad guys are alredy in the jails.

I say turn the criminals loose and send them back to the Hood where they can shoot and kill more of their homies. That way they would be happy and stop crying about the disproportionate amount of blacks in America’s prison.

Well...the government housing project residents in Chicago were eventually convinced to remove the trash and garbage (sanitation issue) from their own apartments only after they were paid (taxpayer money) to do so.

Isn't that what 'walking around money' is for?

I think this is why the left fights so vehemently against voter ID.

They know that the class of people they’ve created, degraded in character to the point that they eat, drink, and fornicate, and nothing else,

will not vote and must be “voted for”,
or the left would never win another election outside of their little blue cesspools.
