[Banjo]

Brandon Duncan has no criminal record, but could face a life sentence of 25 years in prison as prosecutors say his latest album lent artistic motivation for a recent string of gang-related shootings.

That's sick. Whatever happened to the "1st Amendment"? (A rhetorical question... What happened to the 1st Amendment is LIBERALISM!)

If we're going to have freedom of speech, you can't put people in jail for saying something you don't like.

If we're NOT going to have freedom of speech, you'll have LEFTISM.. in one or more of its nasty, freedom-suppressing forms.

This appears to be a case of severe prosecutorial overreach based on the information in the media...

I wish I was his lawyer--- I would get $33 million from our $100 million settlement with the CA authorities. This makes me sick.
