Even tho I do not support Trump, I am glad he granted clemency to Charles “Duke” Tanner. I remember watching him on ESPN years ago. I was just reading an article on him and he says he’s making a come back at age 40. I wish him the best of the best…
I’m glad Tanner has a second chance but the timing is skeptical.
I hope Tanner finds a way to properly and lawfully rebuild his life for himself and for his family.
Sounds like Chavez junior is pulling an insurance scam.
Believe it or not, that crossed my mind. Sad, but true.
really sad, but that was the first thing that crossed my mind
serving 16 years in prison on a drug charge is gross. I understand selling dope is overall bad for a community but the demand is always high and that’s what people need to be able to show up to their routine jobs with a smile on their faces. You like music, art, and shows, right? That creativity comes from mind-altering substances sold by the dealers you criminalize. All neighborhoods, races, status, etc. I know of too many getting “football number sentences” for getting caught with dope. But, we know what that’s about.
Trump may earn an extra vote is all Im saying!
This is a wake-up call for Junior. He needs to leave that rat-infested waste dump known as L.A. and move his family to a better area.
Damn! Served more then a life sentence on a drug charge! Messed up took away from everything but hopefully we see a comeback like Bernard Hopkin or Ernie Terrell!
Hopkins! Just realized it didn’t have s when it posted can’t spell one of the all time greats wrong
Donald trump is the best.
