Haven’t heard from these guys since they appeared on the BET Gangsta Music Awards. Have they gone to jail yet? Where’s Jesse and Al Sharptongue?

[Bitsy]

I understand he gets frustrated,” she said. “But he needed to walk away from this situation, being that he’s already in a situation. It’s very frustrating and upsetting to have to go through so much.”

Freak’in kid needs to be in jail with his buds where he can see intolerance at its best. Yo homies will TELL you what to do and you will like it or else.

“It’s very frustrating and upsetting to have to go through so much.”

It’s all about meeeee, never mind who else got hurt...

[wideawake]

There is no mention of the ethnicity of his latest victim, however there is the protestation in the article that the assault was "not racial."

Clearly this individual is a violent thug who needs to do some time.

[MissEdie]

Rev. Al will be so proud.

"the student felt Purvis come behind him and "grab his neck "

"come from behind him"??????.....what language is this?

seriously....anybody surprised?.....and I suppose this isn't a hate crime because both guys were black so "hate" doesn't figure in it....

sorry for this mother...she did the right thing by sending her son away but unfortunately, he's still a punk.....

This thug must live near me because I’m right across a creek from the High School and I didn’t know until yesterday when I heard this.

[doodad]

So many things wrong with this story and this guy.

19 and still in High School.

Has not learned a thing from his experience.

Slamming someone’s head on a bench and injuring their eye is just a misdemeanor assault?

[River_Wrangler]

Highschool......19 years old?

Nothing to see here. Move along now.

[deport]

He’s supposedly living with his uncle Jason Hatcher. I don’t know what the attendance boundary lines are for Hebron.

[tobyhill]

Thanks for the info.

[deport]

I’m not sure but I think this is the one that has had several scrapes with law, convicted one time as an adult with the conviction reversed. One of them and it maybe this one spent a good bit of time in jail because he couldn’t make bond if I remember correctly. He’s most likely going to get some jail time if convicted in his upcoming trial in LA in Mar.

[Tired of Taxes]

Soon after Purvis' arrest in Louisiana, his mother sent him to live with Hatcher to keep him out of trouble and out of the spotlight.

Uh-huh. Yeah, that worked well. /s

Hey, what do John Mellencamp and friends have to say about this?

[Tired of Taxes]

I don’t remember reading much about Purvis, but Bell had other scrapes with the law. (They all probably did.)

[rfreedom4u]

These punks need a good ass whipping and time in prison. It isn’t about race. It’s about being held accountable for the CRIME you commit.

[popdonnelly]

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, does this indicate a tendency towards violent assault?

[TheBattman]

So - in other words, these thugs were exactly the criminal monsters that most of us already knew they were (but Jessie jackass and his friends defended).

There is a place for animals - it has bars and three square meals a day....

Looks like the tail-end of Numbers 32:23 applies:
