So yesterday, with all the hoopblah over Lil'Wayne going to jail [btw, he's not waiting until March 2, because they had to get rid of those diamond toofeses...], someone thought up an idea, Why not have President Obama pardon LilWayne?
If you are currently lifting your jaw up from off the floor then congratulations, you have common sense. This person argues that LilWayne is not a threat to society and actually supports his community. That simply because he had a gun, does not mean that he planned to use it. Yes...I carry guns just for the hell of it too. Often times pulling the triggering to make sure it still works O_o
Look, I love Lil'Wayne. I've followed him since he was just the lil kid that jumped on Juve's tracks rocking the Nike sweatband and a mini fro. But if you're going to jail, there is a reason. I don't agree that jail should be the consequence for all, especially since so many of our black men are getting thrown in there for petty crimes. BUT, just because you're a "celebrity" I don't think that is enough reason to think the President himself should grant him a pardon! Hell, there are plenty of people trapped in the prison system who probably don't deserve to be there. But because they don't make millions of dollars, or contribute thousands in donations or even sing on the damn "We Are The World" remake, THEY should just be ignored while WeezyF.Baby gets out? He's already getting 8months! Thats NOTHING compared to what would happen if Dekalb County caught me with an illegal gun in my car. #hohaveaseat At the end of the day, lil'Wayne will get out, make music and make more money. People need to stop worrying about the people who have and worry about the have-nots because those are the ones waiting for the spotlight.
