JUST SOME THOUGHTS...I WAS THINKING ABOUT A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE THAT IS NOW SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE FOR A CRIME THAT HIS HOMIE COMMITTED...NOW THIS FRIEND OF MINE WAS IN FACT AN ACTIVE GANG MEMBER...BEFORE I GO INTO DETAILS LET ME JUST SAY...HE WAS NO ANGEL...BUT HE HAD A WIFE AND TWO TWIN DAUGHTERS...6 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME...I CAN VOUCH FOR HIM...HE WAS IN AN TRANSISIONAL PERIOD IN HIS LIFE...OF COURSE FATHERHOOD BROUGHT ABOUT HIS SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT HIS LOYALTIES AND WERE THEY MISPLACED OR NOT...STILL...GROWING UP IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND HIM EMBRACING AS WELL AS BEING EMBRACED... AS FAMILY... WAS FOR HIM... VERY DIFFICULT TO DIFFERENTIATE...YET THE TWO DIFFERENT ACTS OF LOVE DID NOTHING TO STOP THAT FEELING IN HIM TO WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE...AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS... AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY...VERY LOYAL AND DEDICATED TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE... THAT HE BELIEVES IN...WITH THAT BEING SAID...HERE IS HIS TRAGIC STORY...ONE DAY HIS HOMIE CAME OVER AS HIS HOMIES TENDED TO DO ALL OF THE TIME...TO SEE HIM...HE WAS VERY REPUTABLE IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD...SO NO SUCH VISIT WAS UNCOMMON...HE AND THIS PARTICULAR HOMIE SHARED SMALL TALK...THE LATEST IN THE HOOD...WHOS SLEEPING WITH WHO...SO ON AND SO ON...HE KNEW HE COULDNT BE TO LOUD OR EXPLICIT...HIS WIFE WOULD YELL AT HIM...SO RESPECTFULLY...GETTING TO THE POINT... HE ASKED HIS HOMIE...WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE FOR HIS VISIT...HIS HOMIE REPLIED...I NEED TO USE YOU CAR...AFTER HIS HOMIES BRIEF EXPLANATION...HIS ANSWER WAS...OF COURSE...HE TOSSES THE KEYS TO HIS HOMIE AND OFF HIS HOMIE WENT...FEW HOURS PAST JUST AS HIS HOMIE PROMISED...THE HOMIE WAS PULLING BACK INTO THE DRIVE WAY...HE AND HIS HOMIE SHOOK HANDS AND PARTED COMPANY...THAT EVENING...MY FRIEND WAS HEADING TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE CAR WITH GAS FOR THE NEXT MORNING...HE HAD TO GO TO WORK AND DIDNT WANT TO HAVE RUSH OUT OF THE HOUSE...SUDDENLY HE IS BEING PULLED OVER BY THE COPS...A LOT OF THEM...NOT JUST 1 OR TWO...NEEDLESS TO SAY...HE WAS CUFFED...ASKED IF HE HAD OWNED THE CAR...YES OF COURSE...HE WAS TAKEN IN...REALIZING THAT HE WAS IN HOMICIDE DIVISION...OF COURSE HES NERVOUS AS HELL...REWINDING IN HIS HEAD THE THINGS HE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN...DETECTIVES DIDNT WAIST TIME...THEY TOLD HIM THAT HIS CAR WAS IDENTIFIED AS A VEHICLE USED IN A DRIVE BY SHOOTING THAT RESULTED IN TWO DEATHS...AND THAT A MALE FITTING HIS DISCRIPTION WAS SEEN DRIVING...RIGHT THEN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS...IT HITS HIM...IVE TOLD YOU THE OUT COME...HAD HE TOLD THE TRUTH...WOULD HE HAVE BROKEN SOME STREET CODE AND WOULD IT HAVE BEEN PLAUSIBLE FOR HIM TO BE LABLED A RAT?...LETS SAY YES...WHAT WOULD THAT THEN MAKE HIS HOMIE...IS THERE SOME SORT OF CONSEQUENCE FOR HIS HOMIE...TAKING HIS FAMILY CAR AND USING IT IN A DRIVE BY SHOOTING AND NOT TELLING HIM...WHAT LABLE WOULD WE PUT ON HIS HOMIE...THIS STORY IS FICTION...BUT THIS IS FACT IN MANY YOUNG MENS LIVES BEHIND BARS AS WE SPEAK...HOW DOES A D.A. CONVINCE A JURY THAT BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT MY FRIEND COMMITTED THIS HORRIFIC CRIME...WHEN IN FACT HE WAS AT HOME WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN...Q...BEFORE I EXPOSE THE HIPOCRACY OF THE COURTS...LET ME SAY THIS...HAD MY FRIEND KNOWN UP FRONT WHAT WAS TO TAKE PLACE IN HIS VEHICLE AND FAILED TO TAKE PROPER MEASURES TO INSURE HIS NON-INVOLVEMENT...WAS PULLED OVER... WAS ARRESTED...WAS CHARGED...THEN ROLLED ON HIS HOMIE...TO ME ...THAT IS A VIOLATION OF EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS INDOCTRINATED WITH...WHICH CERTIFIES HIM A FAKE AND A RIGHTEOUS RAT AS WE CALL IT...BUT THE FACT HE WAS NOT AWARE...AND HIS HOMIE WATCHED HIM GET CHARGED...WATCHED HIM GO TO PRELIMINARY HEARING...WATCHED HIM GET BOUND OVER AND SET FOR TRIAL AND STILL DID NOT STEP UP AND TAKE THIS CASE THAT WAS RIGHTFULLY HIS...INSTEAD WATCHED MY FRIEND GET TRIED AND CONVICTED...THEN SENTENCED TO LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE...TO ME...IT IS A LIFE FOR A LIFE PRINCIPLE EFFECTIVE FORTHWITH...NOW TO THE COURTS...THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT WOULD POINT TOWARD MY FRIEND WAS THE FACT THAT HE OWNED THE VEHICLE...SO EVEN THE COURT REALIZES THAT MY FRIEND MAY KNOW WHO COMMITTED THIS ACT BUT IS REFUSING TO COOPERATE...WOULDNT THAT BE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE...AND NOT TWO COUNTS OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE... SOMEONE TELL ME...
