Busta Rhymes was offered a plea deal this morning (February 20) by a Manhattan judge that would keep him out of jail if he concedes guilt in two separate assault incidents according to New York’s WABC Eyewitness News. Busta has been charged with the assault of a man who accidentally spit on his vehicle during the summer of 2006, as well as the December 26 beating of his former driver Eddie Hatchett during an argument over the man’s unpaid salary. Under the deal set forth by Criminal Court Judge Tanya Kennedy Busta would be sentenced to five days of community service, be required to perform two weeks of service at a non-profit organization speaking to children about the perils of violence, and attend anger management classes. Should Busta decide to accept, he would avoid possible jail time on both charges. Judge Kennedy gave the rapper until March 26 to consider and accept the deal.

Nah Right » Blog Archive » It Must Be Nice says:
[...] In court this morning Busta was offered a plea deal that will allow him to basically walk away from two fairly serious assault charges with a half-assed slap on the wrist. Now, I’m not surprised by this, or even mad at Busta, but goddam this shit is flagrant. So you’re tellin me that this dude, who the police commisioner has publicly called out for failing to assist in the investigation of the murder of his bodyguard, can prance around Manhattan throwing out beatdowns all willy-nilly and it’s all gravy and mashed potatoes? Anger management classes?! We’ve all seen the world of difference those have made in Foxy’s life. Wow. If this was me, they’d tie me to a piece of wood and let me float around Rikers for 3 to 6. We need a board. [...]

LOL @ Content.
Man, I wish I could beat the shit outta two seperate people and just get slapped on the hand n shit. Dayam, expensive ass lawyers are the shit.
Heres the thing tho, if he does plead guilty, that opens him up to civil suits from those he beat the fuck outta. So, whatever.
Slow down on the clear and tha cream bussa buss.

Busta is a good dude. He needs some goons to do his beatdowns foer him. What the fuck is spliff star there for?
The scenario should have went down like this?
This nigga want his pay check. “Yo spliff handle this nigga”. Proceed to pistol whip and slam skull in car door.
scenario 2
This nigga spit on my shit. “Yo handle this nigga”
Goon 2 proceeds to beat downlike Peewee at the playboy mansion.
Then when they catch a case, you bail em out and let em kick a verse on one of your records.
THATS WHAT GOONS ARE FOR!
