Broncos CB Darrent Williams killed in drive-by

This is a sad commentary on today's society where perceived slights against one's manhood are almost routinely settled with gunfire. I blame a lot of this on hip hop culture that glorifies thuggish behavior.

"thuggish" behavior has always been glorified.
Most old western movies are based on gunfights.
Violence has always been apart of Film/music and our culture in general.

On the local news(San Diego Channel 8), They are talking about a man who walked into a cafe and shot two people.
The man is a white male in his 40's. Completely random violence.

You're comparing apples and oranges. A random shooting against total strangers that the shooter has never met or seen before is the act of an insane person. When a group seeks retribution for one of their own being dissed at a club, that is vengeful, and all too often in today's society, young people feel justified in taking another life in the name of "defending their manhood". For that, I do blame hip hop culture. Bill Cosby has spoken out for several years about this cultural problem: AllHipHop.com : Daily Hip-Hop News (http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=3380)
