    Yup... because broke/low-income people don't commit crimes, middle-class people don't commit crimes, etc. It's when people get money that they become criminals! ;)

    WOW! Cant believe Lonny Baxter, of all people, would be in this kind of mess! I met and got an autograph from Lonny at the Vegas Summer League last month. He was so amazingly gracious it just boggles my mind. I approached him after one of the Rockets games, as he came out of the locker room area. He was carrying his shoes and other stuff in a nylon bag, when I walked up and asked for an auto he literally dropped his stuff (felt kinda bad -ida been happy to hold his stuff), enthusiastically said "HAPPY TO!" and signed away. Based on how genuinally nice and accomodating he was at that point, I just cant believe he was mixed up in such nonsense. Well, Im just gonna hope circumstances will come to light that show this to be a 'non-issue" and hes able to continue on with his career.

    What should you expect in a country where every other person carries a gun?

    I don't think fortune and fame screwed Baxter's head up. What fortune and fame would that be?

    If every other person carries a gun, why wouldn't you?

    And if every person in america carries a gun, why aren't there common occurrences like this one? IT's still quite rare for an undersized power forward to shoot at the White House.

    Read what you wrote.

    How in the hell can you tell what kind of a person a person really is by asking them for an autograph?

    I'd bet Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer would have liked to have met you.

    Easy meat.
