That's a damn good deal

There's a gas station on Nicholson near McKinley St. that sells a 16 inch shrimp poboy for 7.99.

Alton's mixtape just went #1


Ironically, he wasn't selling his music. He wasn't a rapper. He was actually selling illegal movies and music on bootlegged CDs.

I don't think you understand what a "Mexican standoff" is....

So who does "deserve to die"?

I would say that a convicted pedophile that resisted arrest while carrying a gun illegally is about as close at it comes.

Sterling was a registered sex offender, after a 2000 conviction for carnal knowledge of a juvenile, records show. The circumstances of the case were not immediately clear. Records say he was released for his offense in October 2004.

He was previously arrested for aggravated battery, criminal damage to property, unauthorized entry and domestic abuse battery, records show. In 2009, he was sentenced to five years in prison for marijuana possession and for carrying an illegal weapon with a controlled dangerous substance.


Yea, I'm ok with this.

It looks like they are selling a 8-piece Alton special for 4.99

I'm so sick of the misinformation in this thread.

I'll ask again. What part of the video shows him reaching for any gun?

What part of the video shows that he doesn't reach for a gun?

ETA - It doesn't show either way, so stop using it as proof of anything.

The fact that he had a gun in his possession and was resisting, AFTER being tazered was honestly enough.

Other videos are going to be crucial.

I also wonder what would be considered reaching for a gun. With it being in his pocket combined with the wrestling on the ground, his natural motion could appear he was reaching for a gun. But in reality his hand was just close to it.

Maybe more appearance than intent.

Its a really difficult situation to put a cop in. I think they were trying a variety of methods (taser and tackle) before drawing their guns to get this guy to jail alive.

You're bowing to someone who's opinion is that this armed person that was resisting arrest wasn't going for his gun in his pocket when two law enforcement officers are saying out loud he's going for his gun. You my friend are an idiot. The video doesn't confirm either way what the guy was doing at the time.

Exactly. But were you replying to me like we're on different sides of this issue?
