I wonder why you are continuing to slander this guy Bonx Nov 2015 #66

The judge didn't pull him over. Cops did. KamaAina Nov 2015 #68

I'm arguing that he got the maximum possible sentence because he's black KamaAina Nov 2015 #67

Okay, so the petitioner doesn't know the ins and outs of the Broward County judicial system KamaAina Nov 2015 #95

It's not the petitioner, it's the author of this bogus article who doesn't know his head from a hole Freddie Stubbs Nov 2015 #98

Note that he was on probation for the weapons charge at the time. KamaAina Nov 2015 #86
