Episode 49

Cowboys choke, they forgot Shanquella, killing at Victorville prison and $50 million for Keenan Anderson’s family | Streets & Scholars (EP49)

In this episode 49 of Streets and Scholars with Frank "FG" Thornton and Alex Alonso they discuss: 

- (00:15) FG's Dallas Cowboys choked in the playoffs ending their season. Its been damn near 30 years since they won a title. 

- (05:59) How does FG feel about the Cowboys after the racist photo from 1957 of owner Jerry Jones in group of other white racist kids blocking black students in Little Rock, Arkansas? 

- It seems as if the Shanquella Robinson investigation just fizzled. Mexican police claimed that there is interest in one of Shanquella's friend, but as of January 2023 no one has been arrested. 

- DJ Pat (Patrick Xavier Clark) who was arrested in the killing of rapper Take Off from the Migos, bailed out on $1 million. 

-(26:00) More Oath Keepers found guilty on seditious conspiracy for the January 6 Capital riots. This is the 5th trial in US history prosecuting this charge totaling 12 people.  

- Three inmates at Victorville Federal prison plead guilty this week to second degree murder of another inmate, Javier Sandez, that was killed on October 1, 2013. Four inmates involved was Aurelio "Augie" Patino of Riverside who was serving 16 months, Christopher "Sneaky" Ruiz, 48 of San Diego who was serving 10 years, Jose "Torch" Villegas  41 of Los Angeles who was serving 15-years and Adilson "Shanky" Reyes, 37 of Los Angeles was serving 135 months. Reyes was not part of this deal and the other three are scheduled to be sentence on June 12, 2023. 

-(01:00:00) The LAPD has released extended footage of their fatal tazing of Keenan Anderson. It appears that Keenan was suffering from either a mental health crisis or an over dose of drugs or both. But could the LAPD have done a better job at subduing him and getting him into custody?
