Damn, Dog

June 23, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

Last Friday, DMX was cited for carrying a concealed handgun outside of a Scottsdale, Arizona nightclub last Friday. According to police, DMX was stopped near an Arizona nightclub after he was seen taking a handgun and placing it underneath the front seat of the car he was driving. DMX, who was not arrested, was cited for a misdemeanor charge of not having a permit to conceal the weapon in the vehicle.

Since he was not arrested, it’s safe to assume that DMX is legally allowed to own a gun. In the last decade, DMX has been arrested and jailed for drugs, guns, car theft, drunkeness, and impersoanting a Federal officer. What state in the free world would allow him to possess a firearm? Additionally, and perhaps more fundamentally, at what point do grown rich people just stop doing dumb shit?

All I have to say is at least it didn’t involve any kind of motorized vehicle this time. I don’t know why he is still allowed to own and operate an automobile. They need to develop some kind of boot, not for his cars but for his feet so that he can’t work the pedals

Oh..I see…I didn’t mean to imply that DMX’s friends are also BiPolar! LOL! That would be an interesting group, I meant that they might not know how to deal with him so they lay low. Yes, you are correct the support should come from the people closest to him.

I will, of course, request a host (once I get a contract signed) but if it is a choice between you and DMX…….

Hopefully, I won’t see him. LOL!! Although the way he drives, he’ll fly by so fast, I probably won’t know it’s him.
