He still got shot to many times for seemingly no good reason. <BR/><BR/>Ending the war on drugs will only hurt big corporate scum, corrupt politicians and profiteering drug gangs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190274.post-1166884579478358302006-12-23T09:36:00.000-05:002006-12-23T09:36:00.000-05:00The above post reminds me so much of the COINTELPR...The above post reminds me so much of the COINTELPRO operations used to discredit black activists and their supporters. Using slang to give the image of street cred, the post is probably put out there to take attention away from the real criminals, Ray Kelly and the NYPD who brutally MURDERED AN AFRICAN in cold blood.<BR/>Anonymous' post is straight bullshit and conjecture, pure and simple. No facts, just slander and an attempt by forces to discredit the Bell family and their supporters. Sean was killed due to police brutality zealously, as usually in relationship to the Black community.<BR/>Please take careful note of the tradtion of goverment informants using black slang to discredit and misinform people in general and black people in particular. <BR/>Power to the People!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190274.post-1164731899787452942006-11-28T11:38:00.000-05:002006-11-28T11:38:00.000-05:00Lets engage in some real talk people. If you are n...Lets engage in some real talk people. If you are not from the streets then you are at a major disadvantage in understanding what could possibly lead up to any shooting -period. Saying "Stop the Violence" doesn't mean its ever going to stop. Before the execution of Jesus people were getting killed and it has never stopped, no matter how much anyone screams and prays....but lets talk real. If you are really about it.<BR/><BR/>This isn't about this one night, let us backtrack a moment to get a proper perspective. And unless you understand the law of the streets; which always is about personal responsibility and choices; not excuses; you may not get this.<BR/><BR/>The groom Sean Bell graduated in 2001 from John Adams HS. He was a PSAL standout as a baseball pitcher. After HS all outstanding baseball players become eligable for the draft. Minimum salary to sign with a team? $30,000 per year with a signing bonus. Some people pass on that and opt to go to a 4 year college to play ball so they can get a higher pick and more $$. <BR/>Sean Bell's family is saying that he didn't go to the majors so he could take care of his family -but- there is a major flaw in that story....He graduated in June (or August) of 2001; his oldest child is only 3 years old and it is November 2006. He didn't have any children in 2001 or in 2002; why didn't he go to the majors and take the salary? Hmmmm. Reminds me of another NY street sports legend who passed up a career in the NBA back in the 70's...he had his reasons too; and they involved a different source of capital. If you don't know his name then you don't know the game.<BR/><BR/>It is said that Sean Bell asked his girlfriend to get married less than 2 weeks ago; but their reception and Wedding was scheduled for Saturday and they were expecting btwn 160 and 250 people. Wedding receptions cost maybe $75, $100 a head. Thats alot of bread to drop just like that; feel me? thats almost$18,000. Sean Bell was a milk delivery man who was not employed consistantly. I don't know about you but how does one support 2 kids, have a late model Nissan Altima and can drop $18 G's just like that? Plus he was going to move to ATL, that costs dough too. <BR/><BR/>Southeast Queens is one of the most drug infested murderous spots in the city. Fat Cat, Pappy Mason, The Supreme Team and we can go on and on of all the street legends that came from the Jamaica Queens area. The drugs don't stop down there and Sean Bell had some really nice gear and a sharp haircut with 2 diamond studs. The milk delivery business must have been paying REALLY well homie. <BR/><BR/>Now, Sean Bell is from Rockaway Queens and everyone knows that niggas from Rockaway and niggas from Jamaica don't get along. The dude Guzman was from Ocean Village and if you know anythng about Rovkaway then you know how niggas from Ocean Village get down. I'm not suprised that he did 2 bids for robbery and sale of controlled substances. Sean Bell got bagged 3 times in four years for drug possession; in all his pictures he is dressed too fly to be a user. The nigga was a drug dealer, someone posioning our black community. Just like the rest of his crew. Thats why the came 20 deep to Jamaica in the first place. The spot they were at was just that; a spot. Hoes and dope sales. You bring on to yourself what energy you put out there. <BR/><BR/>Lets keep it real. Rev. Al is gonna get burned on this one. These niggas were at a spot in Jamiaca partying with Whores and probably got into beef with another crew. Or it could have been a long standing beef. Jamaica Queens has been in the middle of a war for a while now. But if you are not from the streets you wouldn't know that. Just look up the murder statistics if you don't have your ear to the streets or know the players and the lifestyle. Sean Bell said NY was "too violent" but crime is way down from the 80's I grew up in...so unless you are in the game its not that hazzardous. Maybe thats why he wanted to get out of NY and get married quick; because cats were after Sean Bell for something he did. 2 members of his crew have robbery charges and they're are so many spots in Jamaica and the rest of southeast queens you can definetly make some extra cash sticking up some other peoples dope spot. The cops got to him first ironically, but he would have caught it anyway yall.<BR/><BR/>Lets keep it real. We all understand the consequences of the streetlife. Jail or dead in a casket thats it. If he wasn't in the street life he would have never been 20 heads deep dropping cash on some dirty hoes in a grimy spot in Jamaica. There are plenty of nice places and ways to have a bachlor party, not with 20 affiliates in somebody's Brothel/Dope spot. Lets not make excuses for dudes because they share our complexion. This is not Amadou Diallo. These niggas would have caught it anyway for killing other black people with drugs and guns. What goes around comes around. <BR/><BR/>-and my grandmother was in the UNIA; so I'm not some dumb nigga talking shit. This is real talk. Like OJ's wife getting killed over too much cocaine credit yall. <BR/><BR/>Lets start being responsible for what we do. If Mr. Bell would have not been in the drug game, this would never have happend. No excuses -period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
