The Chickens Have Come Home To Roost

Ricky Peete was sentenced to the maximum time allowed this morning for his crimes. I guess the two years he already spent in jail weren't enough to encourage him not to go back. He received 51 months in jail and 3 yrs. of supervised probation. The only concession he received was the judge asked that "he be placed close to home." Is that really such a good thing though? None of those country club prisons are within hundreds of miles of here. The FBI doesn't seem to be cutting any deals with corrupt politicians. Coming clean and saving the taxpayers time and money, didn't influence this judge at all. He still threw the book at him. I know Bruce Thompson can possibly get 80 yrs. but he won't get that much. He has hired Leslie Ballin as his counsel.

I was thinking about the old saying "all good things come to an end." I've been watching "American Gangster" and I've come to somewhat of a conclusion. Not all good things come to an end, but all things ill gotten will. Until Blacks abandon the shortcut theory, they will always come up short.
