How would that help the 28 people shot at club in Little Rock? Are you suggesting that rappers, their entourage, their audience, and innocent bystanders need something more substantial to hide behind?

We already had this debate 2 months ago when the topic was actually current. I’m not going to revisit it. Especially since it was a federal judge, not a state judge he was talking about.

That was disturbing, and shows contempt for the judicial system. The state thing is as meaningful as Obama’s 57 states comment. That is to say, not meaningful. Especially since Sessions didn’t even use the word “state”.

People make mistakes. It happens. 🙂

To date, there have been no reports that any of the shooting victims in Little Rock, Arkansas were from the Pacific island of Hawaii.

Here’s the flyer for the performance:

Hey, at least he ain’t a poser.

The worst part of this will be the impact on Little Rock’s tourism industry, when hordes of vacationers decide to summer in Shreveport or Greenville, MS instead.

OK, I’ll bite. What kind of firearm is he holding in the flyer? Because it sure looks like a paintball gun to me!

I hit a jackrabbit from 110 yards. Head-shot.

Just sayin’.

That’s nice.

But were you drunk and/or high, at 3 am, and holding your pistol sideways to look cool? And shooting in the dark at random groups of people?

I thought not. 😃

It’s an AR-15 with a red dot sight and a Magpul 60-round drum magazine, complete with him aiming with the wrong eye while holding it like he’s never held a gun before.

It can be hard to pull that off so that it looks real.

Finese 2Tymes got a visit from the Arkansas police today. They traveled to Birmingham Alabama to question him. He’s supposed to be extradited later this week.

So far, it’s only for a previous warrant in Forrest City Ark. He may just be a witness in the nightclub shooting.

As \*\*LSLGuy \*\*said, it may help explain the nonlethality of the exchange if everyone was more invested in \*\*\*looking \*\*\*badass.

And IMO when your Pimp-My-Gun accesorizing makes your firearm look like a paintball gun (you were not alone, **silenus** ), you’re not going to get respected.
