Jodeci Member Devante Swing arrested
Nov 12th
Looks like another member of the hit ‘90s R&B band Jodeci
may need to Come Clean or check themself in to rehab…
Jodeci singer Devante Swing (my favorite in the group)
was arrested at a Subway restaurant in Burbank, Calif.,
this past weekend for public drunkenness.
The singer/producer whose real name is Donald DeGrate Jr.,
(whoomp whoomp…i really thought his name was Devante)
anyways he was arrested after police received a call from a patron who said the singer was drunk,
crashing into tables and falling on the floor at the restaurant.
The 41-year-old was arrested for being drunk in public and taken to a nearby jail and later released.
Jodeci was one of the most acclaimed R&B bands in the early-to-late ’90s,they had songs like
“come and talk to me“ “Freakin You,” “Forever My Lady” and “Feenin.”
Damn shame they all fell off…I wonder where Dalvin is?
This is Devante now…
here goes the video of him getting arrest smh…
No Justice For Oscar Grant-Killer gets 2 years
Nov 6th
Oscar Grant’s Killer Johannes Mehserle was Sentenced to just Two Years his sentence proves that killing a Black man is no big deal and is considered just a misdemeanor.
Johannes Mesherle, a former California transit police officer was sentenced Friday to, two years with credit for time served for killing Oscar Grant, an unarmed Black man.
The lawyer for the victim’s family called the sentencing “a punch in the stomach.”
The former Bay Area Rapid Transit officer Johannes Mehserle was convicted Thursday July 8 of involuntary manslaughter
in the death of 22-year-old Oscar Grant on New Year’s Day in 2009. The shooting occurred after
Grant was apprehended by Mehserle and colleagues for resisting arrests. According to reports and video surveillance,
Grant was subdued when the ex-officer shot him in the back which subsequently led to his death, everything was caught on cell phone video.
Mehserle claimed he was reaching for his taser, but “accidentally” pulled out his gun then “accidentally” pulled the trigger.
The jury declined to convict him of second-degree murder or voluntary, which would have carried lengthier sentences.
Grant’s mother, Wanda Johnson, pleaded with Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert Perry to impose the maximum 14 years in prison,
calling Mehserle “a murderer.”
Mesherle’s lawyer claimed the shooting was an accident and urged the judge to sentence him to probation.
He said Mesherle intended to draw his Taser and not his gun.
Mesherle told the judge Friday that he would be willing to go to prison if the sentence made his city and family safer.
Attorney John Burris, who represents the victim’s family in a civil action against the city of Oakland,
said the sentence reaffirms the idea that the justice system in inherently biased against the African-American community.
“This case is a profound statement that no, it is not fair,” Burris said outside the courthouse.
“Your lives as African-Americans can be taken from you without cause.”
This whole situation is just sad, now small riots are breaking out, and more people are being arrest *sighs*
If this was the other way around, Oscar would have did 10-30 yrs =(

i get tired of seeing spoiled brats on MTV’s “my super 16″
Romeo is very mature and wise beyond his years
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROMEO!!
Romeo recently partnered up with an organization called CureForKidsCancer.org this is what he had to say:
“Now that I’m a man, I realize that life is not about how much money you make or the material things you acquire. Life is about love, loving your family, loving others, and loving God by helping others in need. It’s not about what you have but what you do with what you have that matters and that’s why I give.”
Romeo added that he felt the need to help because,
“There are so many young minority kids with cancer that can’t afford treatment.”
CureForKidsCancer.org is an organization providing
emotional support for parents, siblings and oncology patients,
linking children and families with similar diagnoses and solutions.
