  • BTB shooter arrested and Granny caught selling fentanyl (EP 59)

    In this episode 59 of Streets and Scholars with Frank "FG" Thornton and Alex Alonso they discuss: 

    * Why Eric Holder has a parole eligibility date of 2039. Turns out that Holder is eligbile for the Elderly Parole program. The individual is eligible for a parole hearing under the Elderly Parole Program because they are not condemned or sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Depending on the individual’s current sentence, their first parole hearing will be scheduled once they have either 1) been incarcerated at least 20 continuous years and at least reached the age of 50, or 2) been incarcerated at least 25 continuous years and at least reached the age of 60. Doesn't mean he will actually be released in 2039. But if he has good behavior, meets alls the requirements, there is a good change he will be released much sooner than expected.

    * BTB Savage shooter has been identified as Montrel Burley, 40. He was recently arrested just outside San Antonio, where BTB Savage and his girl shot and killed a would be thief, Omar Richardson. The police cleared BTB in that shooting ruling it a self defense, but after he went on VLAD TV, providing details of the shooting and posting photos from the scene of the killing, within hours, he was shot and killed in Houston. Burley, currently being held on $1 million bail, has been linked to the deceased Richardon.

    * Fetanyl dealer, 25-year-old Joaun Wright was caught with stash of 40 grams of fentanyl in Pringles container. He is also charged with multiplt gun charges.

    * Why is Trump the first US president charged? Bill Clinton, George Bush, and others committed high crimes and misdemeanors. There was always talk of indictments on the horizon, including Hilary Clinton, but it never happened. Why Trump, and why now? Are these serious crimes? 

    * The Tekashi 69 assault in the gym was real. Palm Beach County arrested three people, Rafael Medina, Jr., 43, Octavious Medina, 23, and Anthony Maldonado, 25 – were arrested Thursday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office
