All right now. Who has the Tiny Doo Ping List?

[cripplecreek]

Is a tiny doo like a small turd or little afro?

[WayneS]

Apparently they are running out of “rapper” names.

[Vigilanteman]

Is Tiny Doo something that squeezes out of a tiny dog like a Toy Poodle or Chihuahua?

[WayneS]

A small turd with a little afro?

[WayneS]

...or a Shit-zu?

CNN Legal Analyst Mark Geragos says the district attorney may be trying to send a message "that you shouldn't glorify or glamorize gang activity."

"The problem is you're going to run straight head-on into the First  Amendment," he said. "If they don't have anything other than the album, this case I don't think would ever stand up."

 

So. Does Mr. Doo have 1st Amendment Rights here?

[dfwgator]

Sentencing someone for lyrics is going to take you down a very slippery slope.

[WayneS]

...a little-known California statute that makes it illegal to benefit from gang activities.

That's one statute that needs to become a little better know.

[Cubs Fan]

Is a tiny doo like a small turd

If so he's most appropriately named rapper I've heard of yet.

[Defiant]

This can’t possibly stand 1st amendment muster. If it does, watch out, Tea Party, aka Domestic Terrorists.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I have the Tiny Poo Ding List.

But that’s not what you asked for, is it?

[Uversabound]

white interpretation:
small bowel movement?

It is friday for gosh sakes and I am White.

Now that is funny.

[WayneS]

Indeed.

They should probably abandon this case and charge him under the Stupid Rap-Name Reduction Act of 1997.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He don’t look too tiny. More like Tiny Dooghnuts.

[RansomOttawa]

San Diego-based rapper Tiny Doo has already spent eight months in prison, and faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted under a little-known California statute that makes it illegal to benefit from gang activities.

Comeuppance? Tiny Doo must still be aspiring.

[null and void]

So. Does Mr. Doo have 1st Amendment Rights here?

Yes. The same rights you and I have. As long as he doesn't offend islam he can say anything he wants. </obama>

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Tiny Doo AKA Little Shit.

[NativeSon]

Sorry but this is bull, he had nothing to do with the crime and his "music" is just the same old rap-cr@p. Tossing him jail using that anti-gang law will create a bad precedent.

On the other hand, the next time some anti-gvn group goes out fund raising by mentioning the latest criminal actions using a gvn, could they be thrown in jail for profiting on the crimes?

TINY DOG DOO?
