From an interview with Tupac conducted while in prison in New York concerning a lawsuit brought against the rap star by the estate of a slain texas state trooper. The trooper's family alleged that his music incited police shootings. This is a pretty disgusting example of ignorant conservatives trying to blame a convienient target for an unfortunate event.
When you consider the social circumstances that provoked Tupac's distaste for authority figures (many of whom abused their power and discriminated against persons of his social class), it is amazing to think that that same group of abusers would seek to blame him for the consequences of a fractured society. This kind of irrational behavior makes me feel terrible about the future of our world.
People, please, just stop the ignorance.
Also consider how differently this situation would have likely played out if Tupac hadn't been well off enough to afford non-retard legal representation.
