-Lurid Crime Tales-
Wannabe Bronx rapper and 'gang member', 16, charged with shooting NYPD cop last week walks FREE after posting bail with his record deal money following just ten days in juvenile detention
2022-01-28
About that whole 90/10 thing — I think we found a candidate.
  • Camrin Williams - aka C Blu - was locked up in Brooklyn on gun and assault charges for shooting Officer Kaseem Pennant, 27, just a week earlier

  • Williams was arrested after officers responded to reports of unrest on January 18

  • He refused when officers asked him to take his hands out of his pockets and a scrap ensued

  • During the battle, a gun Williams - identified as a member of a subset of the Crips - was holding fired
    ...how very passive voice...
    and a single bullet struck and wounded Pennant

  • The shot also wounded the teenager

  • Williams, who is already on probation for a 2020 gun possession arrest, posted $250,000 bond to get out of the juvenile facility on Thursday

#18  "Williams, who is already on probation for a 2020 gun possession arrest, posted $250,000 bond to get out of the juvenile facility on Thursday."

What kind of "Juvenile" has access to that kind of 'ching? I certainly didn't, even after adjusting for freshness of dinosaur meat.

Either (1) His and his parent's (plural just for formality's sake because I can't find otherwise confirming data) taxes should be looked at or (2) Someone is financing this PoS.

#16  A reading, a curse, and a hearse.
A wreath with a note, nice and terse:
"I intended to spill
Only ink with this quill,
And shall henceforth write only blank verse."

Probably in High School.

#13  Hard to tell if true or not; such a loose cannon.

#12  According to unreliable sources, the last book he read was "To Kill a Mockingbird".

#11  He reads just enough to be able to shoot from the hip in conversation.

#10  I am shocked to find Alec Baldwin connected to literary circles, even as a term. He’s the kind of man who reads the blurbs of the New York Times best sellers displayed on his bookshelves so he can pretend to have read them at cocktail parties, the kind who gets his opinions from NYT headlines and Saturday Night Live.

#8  Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of... animate objects?

A gun-grabber waxes choragic:
"It's baked in the breed! Automagic!
Croak, clutching your laws
In your cold little paws!"
Such incorrigibility! Tragic.

#7  ...how very passive voice...

In certain literary circles, the passive voice is now known as the Alec Baldwin voice.

#6  "...A subset of the Crips"--does that mean he was a member of the JV?

#4  Poor kid. All the problems he's got and then his gun goes ahead and shoots a cop.
