American Justice=Paradox in Equity

So here's a paradox in Justice and Equity. Wesley Snipes is sentenced to 3 years in jail because he did not file tax returns while 3 police officers are exonerated for killing an unarmed man. The aforementioned statements don't create a paradox in and of themselves, but the next bulletpoints do:

1. Wesley Snipes is going to Jail for 3 years for not filing his taxes. He is not going to jail for refusing to pay his taxes. An appropriate remedy could have been a levy on everything he owns until he pays the $250,000 in taxes.

2. The Police Officers in the Sean Bell shooting were acquitted of all charges including Reckless Endangerment. Reckless Endangerment is the reckless disregard for the potential danger in a situation.

So here are the problems:

1. If Wesley Snipes's crime is for financial malfeasance, why wouldn't his punishment be specific to a financial remedy.

2. If Police Office Oliver fired his gun for 45 seconds, stopped with no return fire, and reloaded and continued to shoot, didn't he prima facie have a reckless disregard for the potential danger that was present. If his bullets were found in a neighboring house and Amtrak train, isn't that proof enough that he, at least had a reckless disregard for human life?

American Justice is at a Paradox.

I've changed my mind again

Okay so a while back I posted a blog and I didnt have nice things to say about the title of Nas' new album, "Nigger." But after hearing the first record, I must recant. I don't like being wrong, but I'm glad that I'm wrong in this instance.

This song is so the reason why I just cant completely leave Hip-Hop alone. Filled with it's hypocrisy, inconsistency, faults, and all...Hip-hop was created as the embodiment of emotional energy that had no outlet for expression. This song is expressing an unbridled emotion that is not fueled by money, sex, drugs, or anything else materialistic. This is the expression of anguish and angst and his desire to be above it all (including his ignorant ass Aston Martin reference)....and this is why I love Nas...and this is why I still love Hip-Hop.

Barack Obama, Nas...let's invite the world to "be a nigga too."

Stay tuned....

I'm really working hard on the novel....coming sooner than you think!

Forgive me Father....

So my good friend Omar is a photographer and he decided to take my children out and do a photoshoot. Great right? Well, the catch was that he decided to let them dress theirselves and do their own makeup. Further, he let them pick location (some were in my house).

Without further ado, peep the hilarity that I call my children.















I love my kids. Did you peep the mink with the Helios?

I'm not a vegetarian but this touched me...

3 am call?

Questions:

1. What financial crisis could occur at 3 am that couldn't wait until 8 am?

2. Are the financial markets even open at 3 am?

3. What could be done at 3 am? Could Hillary go to the ATM and fix it?
