Rapper's Dad Gunrunning

Who would have thought a rapper who "sings" about gun, dope and ghetto violence would have a family members involved in crime?

  • The father of rapper Mello Buckzz was arraigned on federal firearms charges Tuesday, just days after drive-by gunmen targeted her fans in River North, leaving four people dead and 14 others wounded.

    Federal officials say Melvin Doyle illegally sold 13 guns since May 20 to confidential informants working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) — including one transaction that took place after the July 2 mass shooting outside Artis Lounge, where his daughter, Melanie Doyle, had hosted a record release party.

Thirteen guns to federal informants, so he's probably going away for twenty or forty years, perhaps more, all in the federal system.

The presser was quick to rule out poetic justice though:

  • A law enforcement source told CWBChicago that investigators have found no evidence connecting Doyle’s alleged gun sales to the shooting outside the lounge at 311 West Chicago Avenue.

That's not to say he wasn't supplying other guns to rival gangs in other crimes....just not this one.

Of course the guns he sold to informants weren't used in the shooting. Great reporting. Other guns he undoubtedly sold were likely used in that shooting and others though.

Only surprising thing in that story was that Mello Buckzzz knows who her farther is.

The culture is defined by the activities.

Rapcrap culture activities define it as violence, criminalities and malice towards all.

Apply to any other cultures as you wish.

Why don't the federal government just leave those poor grieving minorities alone! Always messing with black entrepreneurs in the hood, dealing in death.
