And Justice for All?
Once again, Kevin Lyons negotiating skills have me in awe. The brick throwing asshat received a 22 year sentence for arson and killing someone with a patio block and after his “good time” he will probably only serve 10 years. Other than the obvious, you might wonder why this pisses me off so bad. Here is why:
In the summer of ‘06 the gangsta wanna be who shot a guy in the head behind the Mc Donalds on Knoxville was on house arrest 6 houses away from our house. This upstanding citizen spent his house arrest selling drugs from a lawn chair in the middle of the sidewalk, getting visits from his other thug buddies and bringing a criminal element into our neighborhood. One of the final straws was when this fine citizen was running down the sidewalk (at least he wasn’t in the middle of the street!) shooting at a car that was trying to get away after screwing him in the drug deal. We banded together as a neighborhood and put pressure on the landlord, the family and the police to get this guy out of our neighborhood. After all this he was able to plea bargain and received a sentence of only 8 years! Another slap in the face was that he got time served for being on house arrest. So selling drugs and trying to bring down my neighborhood will help him get out of prison earlier. With his day for day “good” time now he will be out in 2 and a half years!
Since I currently have a raging case of PMS I think I will just start taking the law into my own hands. With my clean record and Kevin Lyons’ plea deals I am sure I’ll only get probation!

Well you’re in luck, Barbie. PMS = Permissable Man-Slaughter…
Let me know and I’ll be a character witness haha

Sounds like a valid defense — I’ll represent you.

Instead of the PMS defense you could use the “disadvantaged youth” excuse or the “didn’t have the same opportunities as others” excuse. Those seem to work pretty well, particularly when you get a jury full of people who use those same excuses themselves.

Are YOU serious?!? That is all that kid got? Holy crap. Well, he will go to prison and get out…only to become…an even bigger criminal. Hmmm.

I am more pissed about the “shooter” as we came to refer to him. If you seen what his presence did to a nice, quiet neighborhood you would be shocked. For the longest time people would still stop at the house his family moved out of looking for drugs. I know alot of people are wrapped up in their own lives but you have to be aware of what is going on in your neighborhood so this doesn’t happen to you.

Now we have more and more reports of people throwing stuff off of overpasses ever since the sentencing was announced. Yea, that will show us.. KILL MORE PEOPLE.. low-life scumbags
