Huffington Post: Chicago Weekend Shootings: 12-Year-Old Among At Least 15 Shot

Posted: 06 May 2012 09:22 AM PDT

It's been another violent weekend in Chicago, with at least 15 people wounded by gunfire and 2 killed since Friday afternoon.

On Saturday night, a 12-year-old girl was standing on a sidewalk in the 500 block of North Springfield Avenue when she was shot in her left foot, the Chicago Tribune reports. Though the circumstances of the shooting were unclear, police told the paper that the child's family did not cooperate with police. She was hospitalized in good condition.

Donnel Rankin, a 16-year-old from suburban Sauk Village, was not so lucky. Rankin was found in the 12100 block of South Green Street Friday night with a gunshot wound to his head, the Tribune reports. He was dead on the scene. No one was in custody for the slaying as of Saturday night, and police told the Chicago Sun-Times it was likely gang-related.

Huffington Post: Joe Biden Gay Marriage Reaction: Frustration As Officials Walk Back VP's Same-Sex Marriage Comments

Posted: 06 May 2012 09:24 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- Excitement quickly turned to frustration amongst gay rights activists on Sunday after the Obama team walked back Vice President Biden's remarks on NBC's "Meet the Press" that seemed to signal his endorsement of marriage equality.

When asked by host David Gregory on Sunday whether he is "comfortable with same-sex marriage now," Biden replied, "I am vice president of the United States of America. The president sets the policy. I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties. And quite frankly, I don't see much of a distinction -- beyond that."

Biden's comments, which were stronger in support of marriage equality than any made by President Obama, were quickly hailed by LGBT groups.

Huffington Post: Oil Prices Suffer Largest One-Day Decline In Nearly Six Months

Posted: 06 May 2012 09:26 AM PDT

NEW YORK -- The price of oil suffered its biggest one-day decline in nearly six months Friday, falling below $100 per barrel for the first time since February. A drop in gasoline prices can't be far behind.

It's a welcome trend for motorists, with the summer driving season just around the corner. And it eases some pressure on the U.S. economy, which has shown only agonizingly slow growth in the nearly three years since the Great Recession ended.

Huffington Post: Savannah Hardin's Death And Trial Of Joyce Hardin Garrard Debated On Facebook

Posted: 06 May 2012 09:29 AM PDT

GADSDEN, Ala. — Relatives and friends of the grandmother and stepmother charged with running a 9-year-old girl to death as a punishment have been defending and attacking the women on Facebook and in at least one case nearly divulging what could be considered evidence.

A judge has warned prosecutors and defense lawyers not to discuss the murder case, and so far they have obeyed. But experts say the hundreds of messages posted online since Savannah Hardin died in February show the legal system has yet to catch up with the social media explosion. They say it highlights the difficulty of making sure witnesses and jurors aren't swayed by outside influences.
