Asshole opens fire in a room full of Chris Brown and Justin Bieber, and only manages to hit Suge Knight? Someone put that guy in a cell with Mark David Chapman, who’s still in prison for missing Yoko Ono five times at point-blank range. :mad: ---

I find it vaguely amusing that everyone is shocked (shocked!) that this sort of thing could happen to someone who espouses violence in song and deed. ---

Just out of curiosity, I took a look at Suge’s page on Wikipedia. It contained this little gem: > [@Wikipedia](#): > > On February 8, 2012, Suge Knight was arrested in Las Vegas, after police found marijuana in his car and several warrants for prior traffic violations. Suge is currently on three years unsupervised probation for driving with a suspended license. That’s why you should never keep warrants in your car. 😉 ---
