I had heard about the Kool Aid one, but the rest are new. Are they gang related or just seemingly random violence?

Thanks to everyone for their insight/comments. I'm gonna need more coffee before I can write anything coherent.

it's pretty awesome and i have managed not to set myself on fire thus far. :D
