(44,583 posts)66. (Las Vegas) shooting suspect who bragged about life as a pimp now on the run
Last edited Fri Apr 2, 2021, 10:42 AM - Edit history (4)
LVRJ.com: The suspect in three deaths on the Strip bragged openly about his life as a pimp on social media websites, where he instructed his prostitutes and recruited new girls...He flaunted expensive cars...and reveled in luxury homes in two of the country's most glamorous cities...Tweet by tweet, post by post, Harris meticulously documented the life of a pimp, creating a virtual diary for the world to see.
It had been a rough week in Miami for Harris (in early December 2012). He was arrested...by the Miami Beach Police Department...for driving without a license...He was released from jail the next morning, only to be shot later that day...Harris wrote...from his hospital room..." (He) shot me, but aint kill me...biggest mistake..." The circumstances of the shooting are unclear - Miami-Dade police say they have no record of the incident.
His final post came two days before last Thursday morning's shooting...

A motive is beginning to take shape: If Harris and Clutch were rival pimps, maybe their argument in front of a nightclub preceding the shooting had to do with whose girls would be "working" the concert going on inside.
P.S. I thought hospitals were required by law to report ALL gunshot wounds to the police.

No, and I can't imagine Jay-Z or Method Man or Rakim or Kendrick Lamar or KRS-1 committing one

You say pretty concretely that the ghetto traps young people. Really? All young people?

Somehow I doubt the NRA will claim this could've been prevented by arming all rappers

When I heard about the crash, I said it was probably a rapper; I was thinking back on this news:

The temptation at this stage will be to blame the *real* victim here: the precious gun.
