Lawmaker probes conspiracy in Tupac killing

WASHINGTON -- A conspiracy theory is brewing in Congress, but it has nothing to do with the typical inside-the-Beltway preoccupations: Did the government take part in a conspiracy to kill rapper Tupac Shakur?

While conspiracy theorists are still plumbing Shakur's unsolved Las Vegas murder, a member of Congress wants some answers.

Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., has introduced a bill aimed at uncovering documents in the death investigation of Shakur, who was shot in 1996 at Koval Lane and East Flamingo Road.

But, adding to the mystery in this conspiracy, she won't say why.

Approached outside her congressional office on Wednesday, McKinney refused to comment to a reporter about her own bill _ a Washington rarity.

She appeared surprised by the question and asked a reporter if it was his "modus operandi" to catch lawmakers in the halls of their office buildings _ it's a common practice on Capitol Hill.

Before walking away she referred questions about the bill to her staff.

McKinney's bill would have the National Archives collect "all government records on the life and death" of Shakur, which her bill says "should be preserved for historical and governmental purposes."

[msnimje]

She's a jackass politician on a personal vendetta...

Is this tied in to the killing of Mary Jo?

"But I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no bill!"

Man when Tupac made more sense when he was on crack than this lady.

Did my fingers just stutter?

[dr_who_2]

I suppose she's making her constituents happy, which doesn't put them in a very good light. But I didn't say that.

[kcvl]

He was a member of a gang! So, YES, I'm sure the government has "records" on the creep! BIG DAMN DEAL! One gang member killed another gang member, BIG SURPRISE, Cynthia, you moron!!!

[gondramB]

I would like to apologize to America on behalf of Georgia for Cynthia McKinney.

[beelzepug]

Cynthia McKinney is a raving lunatic. In a perfect world she'd have been committed a long time ago.

[teenyelliott]

She's a waste of food, oxygen, and anything else that she consumes to sustain her ridiculous, worthless life.

And did you know that the majority of her campaign contributions come from Muslims? I think she is a security risk. She is also the one who thinks that the Bush Admin knew about 9/11.

Not only is she idiotic, she is dangerous.

The Witnesses
One of Tupac Shakur's backup rappers who witnessed the fatal shooting of the hip-hop star was gunned down in a New Jersey housing project days after tupac was shot. So far, police are saying that the slaying of 19-year-old Yafeu Fula has no connection with Tupac's death

But Fula's death will further stymie the slow-moving murder investigation. "It's another dead end for us," said Las Vegas police Sgt. Kevin Manning, the lead investigator

Police found Fula at 3:48 a.m. Sunday in a housing project. He was shot once in the head and was pronounced dead later that afternoon at a nearby hospital

Did the government take part in a conspiracy to kill rapper Tupac Shakur?

Yes, George Bush told Dick Cheney to have Halliburton fly those black triangles full of Iraqi oil to one of those secret CIA "black" prisons, but somehow the second shooter in the grassy knoll got his brainwave messages crossed in a chemtrail fog and accidentally killed Tupac. He got Jimmy Hoffa as well.

Who cares about Tupac Shakur? The worlds a better place without him and his ilk.

Can't she find something to do that she was elected for, instead of wasting tax-payers money?

[Sterm26]

Why does the government go through all these convoluted conspiracies to kill or "frame" non-entities like Shakur or Mumia, while real troublemakers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and McKinney herself (to name a few) are "allowed" to go on with their drivel?

The moonbats never have an answer for this.
