Episode 16

There is no way to stop mass shootings in a free country with the 2nd amendment (EP16)

In this episode 16 of Streets and Scholars with Alex Alonso and Frank "FG" Thornton... Eric Holder’s trial has begun today. Three years after being accused of killing Nipsey Hussle, they are in the beginning stages of jury selection and this process will hopefully last no more than 2 days, so by next Monday morning attorneys for both sides will present their opening statements.

Tytyana Miller, 29, the daughter of rap mogul Master P has passed away after dealing with drug dependency. The family has not publicly said what has caused her death but it looks like a possible overdose.

Jose Viera, a correctional officer with the Bureau of Prison (BOP) has plead guilty to raping a female inmate and is looking at 10 years in prison. 

And lastly, mass shootings in 2022 are in the rise, 10 killed in Buffalo, New York in what was a racial attack against black residents at their local supermarket. The shooter, Payton Gendron, 18, was taken into custody without incident. And in Uvalde, Texas, shooter Salvado Ramos, 18, shot his grandparent and then went to Robb Elementary School and killed 19 students and 2 teachers. And the local police in Uvalde did not enter the school for an 1 hour, and it wasn’t until federal officers of the US Customs and Border Patrol arrived that the shooter was stopped and killed. Alex & FG conclude that there really isn’t any system that can stop a citizen form committing a mass shooting and thats another FIRE episode of Streets & Scholars.
