I remember listening to old NWA and Fishbone songs that told about how bad things were in LA. As bad as things were in Columbus, I couldn't relate to their experiences. Now, not only is LA in bad shape, the whole country has taken a step back to join it.

    Sorry to get sidetracked. But video only helps if people do the right thing when they see it. And for those idiot jurors to watch that video in the previous trial and buy into the "it was doctored" excuse bugs the heck out of me. You don't have to be technologically savvy to ask yourself why somebody would bother to do something like that.
    Actually, the victim of the shop owner was a young girl, LaTasha Harlins, but your point still stands.

    Thanks for the correction. 25 years was quite a long time ago and I don't have as many brain cells now as I had then. How sad that little has changed in 154 years, let alone in the past two decades.
