Slick Rick In Jail, Facing Deportation
 

An appeals board has upheld an order to deport rapper Slick Rick back to England, where he was born and lived until age 11.

He was seized in June after performing on a Caribbean cruise ship, and he's been detained in a Florida jail ever since without bond.

hey... he's an attempted murderer... so off he should go!

especially when he and his entourage were so stupid as not regularize his legal status before he left the country.

he gets a thumbs down from me!

Just another nigga' with a microphone ~
Can't carry a tune - gotta talk a song ~

Da' Homies - Da' Boys - Gather round to rap ~
Never figure it out - That their sound is crap ~

Wearing hand-me-downs and the shit don't fit ~
Looking like a fool while thinking their hip ~

So one less nigga' - on a boat going home ~
Gives the airways more time for some ROCK & ROLL !

Once upon a time not long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
And people were behavin' like they're oughta good
There lived a little boy who was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said:
"Me and you tonight are gonna make some cash
Robbin' old folks and makin' the dash."
They did the job, money came with ease
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another and another a sister and a brother
Tried to rob a man who was a duty undercover
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic
He said "Keep still, boy, no need for static"
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
But little did he know the little boy was strapped
The kid pulled out the gun, he said "Why'd ya hit me?"
The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure
"I'll do years if I pull this trigger"
So he cold dashed and ran around the block
Cop radios it to another lady cop
He ran by a tree, there he saw the sister
A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
Looked around due to expectations
So he decided he'd head for the subway stations
But she was coming and he made a left
He was runnin' top speed till he was out of breath
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him
Then he made his move to an abandoned building
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor
Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?
Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
He said "I need bullets, hurry up, run!"
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
He went outside but there was cops all over
Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova
Raced up the block doing 83
Crashed into a tree near a university
Escaped alive though the car was battered
Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
Ran out of bullets and still he had static
Grabbed a pregnant lady, got out the automatic
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o'lead
He told the cops "Back off or the honey here's dead"
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
So he let the lady go and he starts to run on
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded
Before long the little boy got surrounded
He dropped the gun, so went the glory
And this is the way I have to end this story
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream
The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh
Just another case 'bout the wrong path
Straight and narrow while your soul gets cash

fag

Slick Rick the ruler
:thumbsup

lol

what on earth does my sexuality have to with my opinion?

or as the old saying goes 'takes one to know one.':1orglaugh

Yeah, let's just forgive him and trust him around us again(?). By doing his time, he satisfied the law. It doesn't follow the rest of us have to love him or want him around.

once someone goes to jail 85% they will end up back there

By the time all the Kazza traders will go to jail the jail population will be 85 Million, and they will work hard labor making CD's for Sony

he went to jail for shooting at his cousin who stole money,woop-di-friggin- do... I wish i had the balls to shoot at my money grubbin family...

and it IS a fucked up law to deport him..especially when the Feds and police officers go into 7-11 everyday and buy coffee from people who just got off the god damn boat... theres been a government funded group for the past 10 years that strictly follows rap artists around,me thinks this was an act of that group

yup its all currupt we know that

I was going to post a message agreeing that he should be deported but I went further through other articles and it seem that for 6 months of the 5 years he spent in prison it was because INS was trying to deport him. He won the original case and was not deported. INS apealed and two years later won the appeal that he be deported.

The law says any non-citizen who serves more than five years in prison for a felony conviction is automatically deported but in this case it is a catch 22 they tried to deport him but lost so they came back and tried again arguing that he had spent more then 5 years which is true but if they had not been trying to deport him he would have only spend 4.5 years in prison. Not to mention the fact that the INS filed the appeal and didnt bother to inform him of the appeal so he could have representation at the appeal hearings.
I personally dont have an opinion on this guy but I do have an opinion on the law it this case it appears that INS held him in prision for an addition 6 months in order to make his being deported mandatory. I would think that the time frame use to determine if he should be deported was wrong. The felony conviction only resulted in 4.5 years in prison the other 6 months was the result of an INS action
