A quote: "Bang-Bang, Kill a man let his brains hang, A plead guilty insane" ! Is what I think you meant to say #[14] .

its sad that the NYPD can SMEAR Bell after MURDERING him and so many people focus on the drug dealer or his bad head dress...the NYPD shot at someone 50 odd times - at that time he hadnt done a thing - it wouldnt matter if he was a drug dealer the NYPD are not the judge or jury..sucks that they feel they can soften their crime by trying to pin other crimes on Sean Bell

yeah that's a doo rag...its blowing in the wind.. the "ear" areas are the little part you pull around and tie. but this dude was a POT DEALER?? come on now... weed dealers don't shoot eachother.. the profit on weed is next to nothing. you know who sells weed? stoners who want to smoke for free. this dude is bullshitting.

Anyone want to take bets on when the Sean Bell incident will be turned into an episode of Law & Order? I wonder which five white guys will play the cops. Any guesses?

That's not a doo-rag. That's a graduation cap and those are his tassels. This is what you get to wear when you graduate from the school of keepin' it real. When you earn your masters, you get to wear a bag that says Coroner's Office down the side and your own personally autographed toe-tag. 'sup now playahatas?

He TOTALLY looks like goofy. Is goofy-chic the new trend? Do you guys remember when people had tazmanian devil and tweety bird tattoos and leather jackets with cartoon characters on them? I think it's coming back.

I'm guessing that Anthony Jeffers wouldn't win any popularity contest in the 'hood right now. Seems that he would rather be known as the local drug dealer than as the guy who snitched on Sean Bell.

First off, No "Self respecting" drug dealers going to admit too the police that someone shot him ! (It's a form of snitching)Secondly, You would have to be straight up stupid to tell the local papers of this alleged connection . (The police) Thirdly, If this jackass did state all of what was printed, Then he will never be trusted by any of his cohorts in the hood again ! If their smart, They will disavow any knowledge of his existence !

a few things: i'm aure the police have a video or audio recording of this Bell convo. riding a bike on a sidewalk if you're over the age of 14 in nyc is against the law

of course I'm sure had this guy come forward saying he saw the cops kill Sean Bell without provocation, the cops would have been just as quick to believe his story ...

how much more obvious could it be that this guy changed his tune after finding himself in the papers?

Thanks, Bernie. Very helpful. But your status as a plain-old citizen never stopped you from doing the very same thing. Agreed: This mope just doesn't want to be a snitch in his own neighborhood. Bad for business when you sell drugs in the neighorhood "here and there." BTW, I'm pretty sure that's illegal too.

Why wait for the Ringling Bros. show at Madison Square Garden? This case already has turned into the biggest circus of all.

1. Cycling on the sidewalk is against the law. 2. That hat/dew rag combo should be against the law.

Here's the deal

Actually, riding your bike on the sidewalk is against the law in the five boroughs. It is not a crime, but it is a violation. Most of the time a cop will let it go if the rider is not causing any problems with pedestrian traffic. However if it is causing problems, the cop may issue a summons. And if after running the rider's name through the system, it comes back that the rider has a warrant out of his arrest, he'll be cuffed and brought to court. Laugh all you want, stopping people for open containers, for smoking in a subway, for riding between cars and for riding bikes on the sidewalk cleans up an amazing amount of criminals off the street.

All those double negatives make it sound like Jeffers admits he told the cops something about Bell and the he does want trouble. BTW, I'm pretty sure riding your bicycle on the sidewalk is illegal in NYC.
