Boss up, Bytch!~

I’m just shakin’ my dayumm head.  What is wrong with these parents these days?  What are they really drinkin’ thinkin’?

Another pistol-packin’ grade-schooler in the news, this time in Queens, NY.  This one had a lil game though.

Ignacio Galvan, 54, was arraigned last night in Queens Criminal Court on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child.   He was being held in lieu of $3,000 bail.

Why?  Because his 8 yr old son took a loaded 9mm pistol to P.S. 107,  and sold it to a classmate for $3.50.  It had three live rounds in it. (Another one was found on the floor at the school.)  To add to his plate, he admitted buyin’ the piece off the streets (illegally).  Guess he had to,  since the serial number had been scratched off.  He says they bought it for protection and kept it in the garage, but bought it inside recently because someone had tried to break in.

This came to light when the lil boy who bought the piece took it home, his mother found it in his backpack and called the school, who told her to bring it and the boy in.  They called the people.

Thank God, no one was hurt.  This is the second incident like this that turned out ok.  But people can’t (and shouldn’t) count on that.

I don’t understand why these parents don’t get it that guns are not toys and should be kept out of the reach of some grownups, let alone children.  I remember when the news was filled with stories of children accidentally killin’ their siblin’s and schoolmates with guns they found just layin’  around their homes or in unsecure places with the safeties not intact.

The lil gun dealer is facin’ three counts (over one gun?) of weapons possession, and the lil boy who bought it,  was suspended for a week.  Mom if fightin’ that,  sayin’ her baby thought he was buyin’ a fake gun.   I wonder if the lil gun dealer thought he was sellin’ a fake gun?

Normally, three strikes your out.  I hope that we don’t have a third incident of this irresponsible shyt.  It may not turn out so good…

I’ma pray on it…

Gladys and Jamie

by datGurl!

There’s a lot if controversy swirlin’ around this story, and I don’t know why.  I think it’s a ’feel good’ holiday blessin’…

These two sisters, Gladys and Jamie Scott, were arrested in 1993 for settin’ up two guys to get ambushed and jacked by three of their homies.  Some homies; they got caught, and implicated  snitched on  Gladys and Jamie in a plea deal.  They lil  assess got 10 months.  The Sisters didn’t even get action at a deal, and were swiftly convicted and sentenced to double-life each

For $11.00.  That’s so  ugly.

On the way home!

The NAACP and other civil rights advocates, started pushin’ for their release based on the f*cked up cruel and excessive sentence they got.

So for the last 16 yrs or so, Jamie has to have dialysis treatments and needs a kidney.  Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, lookin’  at checks and balances  more than the human aspect of the case, suspended those dbl-lifes under the stipulation that Gladys give a kidney to Jamie.   Jamie Scott’s three-times-a-week dialysis was costin’ the state about $200,000 a year.   Multiply that by 15!

The controversy is swirlin’  on two things:  That the man did this for political self servin’ reasons (he’s another one plannin’  to run against Bam in 2012), and that the stipulation is unethical.   Some folks are gettin’ all  hypothetical, wonderin’ if there is not a tissue match, will the healthy one have to go back to jail.  And then the extreme ones are sayin’  this is like buyin’  and sellin’  organs, or forcin’ the one gurl to choose between surgery and freedom, which is against the law.

People should calm down.  It was Gladys’ idea in the first place, so she’s definitely committed to it, and  she wants to save her sister’s life.   I think it’s a good deal for everybody; The Sisters get out and back to life, the state saves $200ThouWow, and that Barbour dude gets the publicity he wants.   They not free just yet; they want to go to Florida with their mother and children.  The state has to approve that and with the wheels of justice grindin slow as they do, they should be on the streets in about  60 days.  I’m cool with that.

I know ‘Mother’  is happy too…
