ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis teen who authorities say is a member of a gang called the “Obama Boyz” has been charged with two shootings on Saturday.

Anthony Jamal Lee, 18, fired at a group of people from the window of a Grand Prix at 2:17 p.m., according to charges. A 13-year-old boy was struck in the side of his body and had to be hospitalized; a 17-year-old boy was grazed by bullets on his face and arm.

Lee, according to authorities, then fired from his car at two passengers in another Grand Prix, grazing one of them in the back.

One shooting occurred at the 3200 block of Oriole Avenue, and the other nearby at Harney and Beacon avenues.

Lee, who was charged Friday in St. Louis Circuit Court, faces a mix of 10 felony counts of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and firing shots from a vehicle. Judge Theresa Burke set $100,000 cash bail.

Authorities said Lee is a documented member of the “Obama Boyz” gang, but did not elaborate.

    St. Louis. The next city to join the ranks of Detroit, Oakland, Gary, Ind., and New Orleans for an abundance of black thugs.

    Looks like Obama did have a son and he acts just like him. Drive by shooting a street or a nation, it’s only a difference of degree.

    i wonder how many east L.A.s we’re going to witness when Romney wins. Interesting how black on black crime never makes the front page.

    (And speaking of front pages, the paper of record for the Peoples’ Republic of Washington state featured the merits of renting over buying a house as it’s banner today. The Libya lying fest had few column inches on page 4. The Opinion page featured an article about Republicans whining about the skewed polling numbers and there was a full page devoted to Jay Inslee. As soon as the child is out of high school I’m moving to Williston ND.)

    I want to see their hand signs and tattoos. Make some bumper stickers out of them.

    @ Abagail Adams:
    I worked in East LA when the Rodney King riots went down. No destruction there. Even the gang banger element in the Mexican American communities know better than to shit in their own lunch pail. The violence was all black, and much of it was aimed at the Koreans, who were the only people brave enough to do business in the ghetto.
