Notes from the Resistance...
Hip-hop star 50 CENT has dismissed accusations his movie GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' glorifies violence and gun crime, insisting the film is being unfairly singled out for criticism.It is unfair. Where's the "community" outrage over this?
Even if the gun was real, the officer could have shot Penley in a non-fatal area.Poor Heather Forgione. She had my attention up until that point, what with her talking about "simple communication and common sense," and all.
The idiot evidently prefers people being stabbed to death by those who do not share his share his sheeplike bent.
A statement from New Scotland Yard said: "Mr Eastman is extremely upset about the article.
"He does not recognise the quotes attributed to him and does not condone anyone carrying a knife or a weapon of any kind."
Over the weekend, an attorney for the family said Penley's father told him that he contacted law enforcement before the boy was shot to tell them that his son did not have a gun and that he only had a pellet gun, Local 6 News reported.If that's the case, then the outcome can't be judged unreasonable. When I posted this, press accounts were very different, citing the boys father, a brother and a classmate all corroborating police and school authorities being told.
However, phone records obtained by the FDLE showed authorities did not make contact with the dead boy's father until about 45 minutes after the boy had been shot, according to a report released Tuesday.
