Lil Wayne Faces Little Time

Once again we’re scratching our heads, asking how it can be that many law abiding citizens are denied their constitutional right, and a convicted criminal is facing a second strike that will mean just three years probation! Currently “rapper” Lil Wyane is serving time in New York City’s Rikers Island on a gun charge, and has now pleaded guilty to a similar charge – via a live video feed – in Yuma County Arizona. Entertainment Weekly reports:
“On January 22, 2008 authorities stopped Wayne’s tour bus at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint almost 80 miles east of Yuma. They found cocaine, marijuana, Ecstasy, drug paraphernalia and a .40-caliber handgun registered to Wayne. He was charged with felony possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of drug paraphernalia. At the time Wayne pleaded not guilty to all the felony charges.”
The entertainment magazine goes on to call Wayne an “acclaimed rapper” noting that he faces of the three years of probation AFTER he serves his time? How is this possible we ask, because he was charged with numerous felony possessions of drugs? Worse still why is the media noting he is an “acclaimed” anything, artist or otherwise, instead of noting that he is a CONVICTED criminal?
