DUDE! Thank you very much for the quick referral. Much appreciated, indeed.
I don’t know whether this would be an appropriate true crime post or not. Thus I leave it to my trusted friend Rusty to determine. I put it on Jen’s blog in late Nov. when she said blogging would be light, and I told her something like this might help her in her criminal law exam.
The Ga. Supreme Court ruled this month in Rankin v. State, 2004 Lexis 1033, as follows: Evidence was sufficient for murder verdict where witness saw defendant driving a vehicle that struck the victim and then backed up and struck the victim again before driving off. Two men brought to scene by defendant then beat and stomped victim.
No problem Steve!
We need one to air our concerns. I am a Latino who has seen the rise of crime in every town. One of the major factors is popular teen culture in America now endorses criminal active as “coolâ€Â, especially in the minority community. Gangster rap, and the culture that is associated with it has been very popular, yet most people don’t want to acknowledge that it exists. Guns, violence, incivility, drugs and drug dealer, anti-social behavior is now considered normal and by many children as “coolâ€Â. Most people living in “suburbia” in the United States have not this trend. It is because many community leaders of our minority groups, including mine, have not addressed this fact. They are too busy blaming everybody but the true causes of this, Music and Media corporate interest. Being a “gangstaâ€Â, criminal, big-mouth, a-moral is considered something to be admired by children, because the media has not denounced it. I think it might even be too late. Low rider and Vato culture has now been exported to other countries to through their respective ethnic communities. You can know find low riders, American style hip-hop ‘gangstas’ in Vietnam, El Salvador, Mexico, Laos, and other countries. People, especially the white intelligentsia have never discussed this because they don’t want to appear ‘racists’ or live in a safe bubble. It is now destroying many different communities and it is growing. Many whites, like those who live in the suburbs have children who have never been exposed to this, but it is growing so fast that it is spreading wildly though out all communities and even into the suburbs. It has been going on for years since the early years of rap. Guns, violence, rape, murder, drug dealing is being glamorized and young people are now brainwashed to believe it is very ‘hip’ to be stupid and a criminal. They see education for “whites†and ‘weak nerds’. VH1, MTV, videos, music and movie industry and even games push that being a low life criminal Gangsta is what is cool now. This is only going to get worse unless something is done. This not only affects the crime rate, but business, housing and other things. We reap what we sow.
