Maybe you should stop licking your cat's scrotum and do some research. Why o why do people ask for proof while on internet blogs as if Bing or Google are hard to spell?

VPN - did you see the link below posted by 'nottoosma­rter'?????­????????

My question to you is why can't you do the research yourself?

You seem just like one of those people who rely on others to keep you informed.

The information is out there for all to see and read - stop listening to Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reily, etc.

Keep informed and stop asking for a "link", you have a computer and you know how to use the search engine. Or do you???????

Geesssssssh!!!

Precisely. No one can say anything about those 2 instances. No follow up. The stories got buried.

EXACTLY. Obama wasn't even there. This is how the justice system treats black people. I'm not saying he's an innocent bystander, but seriously. These fricking white supremacists are gunning for Obama and they find this low life and throw him in jail in two months.

Of all of the threats that have been made against Obama, only black man carrying a gun goes to jail. He made no threats and was known to be an Obama supporter. I wonder if the NRA will come out in his defense; somehow I doubt it.

He had a bullet proof vest.
He was carrying a loaded handgun in an area with a TOTAL ban on handguns. And, had no permit to carry concealed.
He had a previous felony conviction.

Nuf said.

If he has had a previous felony conviction wouldn't the Feds charge hem with felon in procession of a firearm. The story didn't say anything about that. So maybe not "Nuf said"

It was in his car he wasn't carrying it.

He was trying to get to Obama's house at 4:45 AM to ask about getting a job. Sounds like a mental health issue to me. He may very well have been dangerous even without a gun never mind with one.

I thought the same thing. They are trying to make a subtle statement. Funny how that man who shot and killed that abortion doctor was running around harrassing everyone at that clinic and the police did nothing. The problem is that our justice system is not equal. ALL people who act as this one should be put in jail.

Kinda sad for Mr. Wayans there. Maybe the guy just wanted a job and he thought a brotha could help him out.

You're driving a BMW and you need a job? What you need is some help, and maybe 5-years in the slammer will get you some.

What does driving a BMW has to do with needing a job? He probably purchased the BMW when he had a job? Just a thought.

Maybe the BMW was used! My friend got a 7 series of $3500.00!

Cost of future repairs for a $3,500 used 7-series Bimmer will undoubtedly cost more than $3,500.
