Then we had the OJ Simpson Case, after stealing his own memorabilia back, the judge ruling over the case gives him 33 years which would make him 94 years old when he get out, and they say it had nothing to do with his aquittal in the death of his wife Nicole, really I bet OJ was like dang I wish Johnny Cochran was alive, 9 times out of 10 he would have got him off again....but 33 years for stealing his own stuff back....

President Bush trying to get in good with us black folks but signing the emmit till unsolved Civil Rights Act into law- the law is giving justice department millions of dollars to investigate unsolved murders from the Civil Rights Era. The bill was named for Till because of what happen to him whistling at at white woman caused him to be murdered and found in the Mississippi river with a cotton gin tied to him...Bush did that but all he can do now is...get up out the Oval Office make his way out for the Obamas.
