Ah yes, feedback from the most irrelevant Beattle. I'd take an opinion on rap from Yanni as more valuable than George Harrison. I respect people's opinion if they don't like certain genres, but the blanket stereotypes being made are ignorant.

1.) Proof got off easy as a few others said. I have no compassion for him, but feel bad for his kids having to had grown up with such a pathetic role model in their life.

2.) The cousin needs to get the maximum possible sentence for the crimes he was charged with no matter how honorable his actions seem at first glance. The fact remains he was carrying a concealed weapon without the proper credentials to a night club. Now, why would he need a gun? It was because he intended on using it if necessary. The stupidity is astounding. When he is making the decision to bring a gun, why wouldn't he make a rational decision and not go there. Again, maximum possible sentence and fines are necessary.

3.) The victim being in the military has no bearing on the story and was only added to sensationalize the story for reporting purposes. Being in the Gulf War is, IMO, not an automatic ticket for respect. If he is directly involved in the drastic escelation of violence like it appears he was, I don't think he is this innocent victim in this event and though he probably didn't deserve to die, I'm not automatically going to buy into him being some sort of upstanding innocent victim being portrayed by the media.
