		<description><![CDATA[First, I like to start off saying what a dumb ass. One minute Clifford is at the peak of his game, and now his dumb ass has somehow landed him in jail, go figure. Ain&#039;t that about a bitch!!! When I just thought to myself about two weeks ago this brother has a head on his shoulders well. Well I just have to take that back. Judging by this catastrophe I don&#039;t know who he is any more. I mean the jury is out: They&#039;ve proven probable cause and now he&#039;s indicted (yikes!). 

As far as the reasonable doubt thing is concerned that few of you have mentioned earlier I doubt that prosecutors will have a hard time pinning a case of gun charges on Clifford to the jury. Any jury in their right mind (concerning the fact that lawyers have told them ex-cons cannot own and register guns) will know that Clifford is in the wrong and should be charged. Which leads me to wonder what does the defense got cooking?

But back to the lecture at hand.

The government has audio on Clifford sidelining a slick deal. The deal was slick to begin with because it was to benefit and undue none other than him self from being caught by the likes of ATF, leaving his bodyguard fronting and going out there copping guns. No doubt the bodyguard will and can do time for aiding in this sideline operation. As of now, ATF found three guns on Clifford, right in his car (blaw), and in his home found more. A whole arsenal soldiers in Iraq wished they had. O ATF had more than just probable cause, they got lucky. The sting afforded them to find out that this man also is in lust with guns. They&#039;ll be watching him from now until forever.

The investigation even without the bodyguard&#039;s help can prosecute Clifford. Self-respecting citizens now know Clifford is not at all who he says he is (do I have to say it: Hip Hop vs. America) he&#039;s a liar and two-faced. How do you explain that to kids? They love him.

Now drawing to my conclusion. There&#039;s no doubt that the government has some thing on him and will try Clifford to the best of what they have close at hand. What can Clifford do at this point? Point the finger? He could. A good one: say the guns they are not his (lol) and vehemently send for somebody else to do the time for him. Or, wish the bodyguard would retract his statements (knowing thus far he can&#039;t). If anything Clifford will do some time, and nevermind thinking about the government setting an example on his black ass. Its about some knuckle head with bad decisions. I still got love for him though; I pray he gets it together.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m hearing both sides of these arguments, and all I can think about is that he HAD to have known that someone was always watching him as much as these dudes talk about the cops and shit being all in their grills so I have to say I feel like he was putting himself in that situation.

I don&#039;t know all of the facts about this, just what I been hearing on the radio and stuff the last couple of days, but didn&#039;t his bodyguard snitch on him and set him up?  If that&#039;s the case then how could anyone have an argument?  I&#039;m not trying to get into the snitches get stitches and all that shit argument, I&#039;m just saying if it was a bodyguard that was ratting him out, chances are the nigga is guilty for doing dirt but that&#039;s just my take on it all.  Someone please clear up the story for me if I got it wrong.]]></description>

As black people we have to be above reproach. We cannot invite law enforcment and the gov&#039;t to take a look in our house because it&#039;s been proven time and time again that you dont have to be doing anyting to get locked up. So when you are doing something you have to be extra careful.  Point blank the brotha made a dumb decision and he&#039;s gonna have to pay for it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Posted Oct. 15, 2007 – Attorneys and family members of the 14-year-old boy who died after being beaten, kneed and kicked by guards at a Florida boot camp say the officers would have been convicted if there had been African Americans on the jury. 
 
On Friday, an all-White jury accepted the defense’s argument that Martin Lee Anderson’s death was the result of sickle-cell trait and not because seven guards beat him and shoved an ammonia capsule up his nose while a nurse watched. 

&quot;You kill a dog, you go to jail,&quot; an angry Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the family, said on the courtroom steps following the verdict. &quot;You kill a little Black boy, nothing happens.”

Saying that having sickle-cell trait is responsible for Martin’s death is “adding insult to injury,&quot; Crump said, decrying that the fact that the jury lacked Blacks, who are more familiar the disorder. 

Sickle cell occurs in one out of every 10 African Americans, according to the Illinois Department of Public Safety. 

“Usually, people with sickle-cell trait do not have any medical problems and they can lead normal lives,” according to its Web site. “They do not develop sickle cell disease.” 

The initial autopsy blamed sickle-cell trait for Martin’s death, but a second autopsy said the death was caused by the severe beating and because the victim was forced to breathe the ammonia while officers covered his mouth. 

During the weeklong trial, the jury repeatedly watched the graphic videotape of the ordeal, which triggered outrage from Black leaders, children’s advocates and human rights activists nationwide and led to the end of Florida’s boot camps. Said Robert Anderson, Martin’s father: “There was enough evidence. It was there in Black and white. What do you need, a rocket science? I&#039;m sick of this crap.&quot; 

THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE EXAMPLES OUT OF US... WE NEED TO WAKE UP AN STICK TOGETHER. AND TRUST ME EVER SINCE T.I. GOT ON HIPHOP VS AMERICA, THEY BEEN WATCHING HIM. LOOKS LIKE A SET-UP MOVE TO ME, THE ALPHABET BOYZ BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE.]]></description>

<p>The initial autopsy blamed sickle-cell trait for Martin’s death, but a second autopsy said the death was caused by the severe beating and because the victim was forced to breathe the ammonia while officers covered his mouth. </p>
<p>During the weeklong trial, the jury repeatedly watched the graphic videotape of the ordeal, which triggered outrage from Black leaders, children’s advocates and human rights activists nationwide and led to the end of Florida’s boot camps. Said Robert Anderson, Martin’s father: “There was enough evidence. It was there in Black and white. What do you need, a rocket science? I&#8217;m sick of this crap.&#8221; </p>
<p>THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE EXAMPLES OUT OF US&#8230; WE NEED TO WAKE UP AN STICK TOGETHER. AND TRUST ME EVER SINCE T.I. GOT ON HIPHOP VS AMERICA, THEY BEEN WATCHING HIM. LOOKS LIKE A SET-UP MOVE TO ME, THE ALPHABET BOYZ BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Yo TPAR  let me ask....isnt it true the possession is 9/10ths of the law.  For instance, if i got a bag a weed on me but it belongs to someone else...it is still considered mine in the eyes of the law.  Correct?  otherwise, the &quot;it was him (points at someone on the corner)&quot; defense would work alot.

Therefore, how does reasonable doubt come into play when a convicted felon has 3 guns in his possession (car) and is on the wire talking about ammunition for the guns he is illegally purchasing?  Not to mention the guns in the crib...Nuff said....]]></description>

Good stuff man.  I laugh and didn&#039;t mean to come off like that, i just get annoyed when people talk trash to me for no reason.  And yes, this is XXL, but a lot of important issues get discussed here and many of the comments are very thoughtful.  Your comment was on point and very valid.

		<description><![CDATA[Umm, I&#039;d say his first mistake was going to a registered gun dealer and asking about buying assault rifles an not getting them registered.  That shits gonna get everyone&#039;s attention.  And I&#039;d have to say there&#039;s substantial evidence against him since they found like 12 guns in HIS car and house(in a fingerprint identifying safe?!?!), and since HE is a convicted felon, he better pray they don&#039;t link them to any crimes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TI IS SCREWED, PERIOD POINT BLANK. IT COMES A TIME IN EVERY MAN&#039;S LIFE WHEN HE NEEDS TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHAT TYPE PEOPLE THEY ASSOCIATE WITH. IT&#039;S ALWAYS PROMISING TO SEE A YOUNG BLACK MALE MAKE IT IN LIFE, BUT STUPID DECISIONS WILL GET YOU RIGHT BACK WHERE YOU STARTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BARRELL. I HATE TO SEE ANY BLACK MALE GO TO JAIL BECAUSE THAT EFFECTS OUR FAMILY SOCIAL STRUCTURE. TI EMPLOYED A LOT OF PEOPLE AND HIS ARREST IS GOING TO EFFECT A LOT OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILIES WHICH HAVE TYPICAL MIDDLE CLASS INCOMES. NOW HIS CHILDREN WILL BE WITHOUT HIS FATHER FOR A WHILE AND WITH THIS RAP GAME, EVEN 5 YEARS OUT OF THE GAME YOU WILL BE FORGOTTEN WITH THIS NEW GENERATION. I DON&#039;T KNOW IF PEOPLE REMEMBER THE BILLBOARD JOHNNIE COCHRAN HAD BEFORE HE PASSED STATING &quot;IF YOU ARE A CONVICTED FELON AND CAUGHT AND CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF A FIREARM, I CAN&#039;T EVEN GET YOU OFF.&quot; FORGET THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF GUNS, ONE GUN IN TI&#039;S POSSESSION WILL GET HIM MANDATORY FEDERAL JAIL TIME PERIOD. HELL, I KNOW PEOPLE WATCHED THE SERIES AMERICAN GANSTA ON BET LAST YEAR AND WATCHING IT THIS YEAR. ONE THING EVERY GANGSTA STATED THAT IF YOU ARE DOING WRONG AND THE ALPHABET BOYS (FBI) WANT YOU, YOU PROBABLY NEED TO BE GETTING READY FOR A LONG VACATION AT CAMP FED. WE NEED TO WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE AND SEE RACISM IN AMERICA IS GETTING WORSE. MIKE VIKE GOING TO JAIL, TI GOING TO JAIL, JENA 6 TRAVISTY, AND THE NOT GULITY VERDICT FOR THE BOOTCAMP STAFF AFTER KILLING THE YOUNG BLACK INMATE IN FLORIDA. THIS GENERATION NEEDS TO CHANGE AND LOOK AT THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS WE ARE IN AND THINK ABOUT OUR CHILDREN&#039;S FUTURE OR THEY WILL NOT HAVE ONE AND WE WILL BE BACK IN SLAVERY.
