Pacman Jones accused of lying
A man charged with shooting three people outside a Las Vegas strip club has denied he was involved and accused Adam “Pacman” Jones of ordering the shooting and framing him to avoid identifying the real shooter.
Arvin Kenti Edwards of Renton, Wash., who is being held in a Washington state jail pending extradition to Nevada told a Nashville television station that Jones lied to police about the 2007 shooting that left an employee paralyzed and two other people wounded. Edwards said Jones paid someone for the shooting, but that it wasn’t him.
Jones’ agent and attorney, Worrick Robinson, said Edwards has reason to lie as the man facing three counts of attempted murder.

Why are protesters described as “rioting”, “disrupting”, “denying” and “accusing”?I find it laughable that the Tibetans in this article are being accused of “ethnic hate crimes” against the occupying Chinese, who killed more than one sixth of the Tibetan population in the years following the the 1949 invasion of Tibet, and who since then have engaged in torture, indiscriminate murder and cultural genocide against the Tibetan people.When the Tibetans finally push back (nonviolently at first, and when nonviolence is met with violence, with violence)and China “cracks down” (read: more murder, torture and “re-education”), suddenly the media is paying attention to Tibet, as though this shit hasn’t been happening for 60 FUCKING YEARS. The only difference is that it’s a new generation of Tibetans who are frustrated by their oppression, and someone caught it on film.In lighter news, my “Free Tibet” T-shirt is back in style.
pussy
I don’t care. Modding on here is akin to democracy. It’s rule by mob, and the mob is a bunch of ignorant zombies run by emotion, not facts or intelligence. Fact is, Dalai Lama is a CIA operative, CIA funded the free tibet movement, and CIA has a notorious history of fomenting strife against China by using the monks.http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/JC26Ad02.html
lol repressive, you fucking wish, the only repressing is the oppression by white evil motherfuckers. theres a balance in this world, do evil shit, expect to be disliked.
check out the BBC documentary about it: The Shadow Circus: The CIA in Tibet
Note also that China promised to allow journalists free access throughout the country, as one of the conditions under which the International Olympics Committee put the Olympics there.We should use the threat of boycott to pressure China into keeping their word. I called my Senators and Representative a few days ago to suggest that.
this video does nothing for the cause of the tibetans, if anything it just shows that the tibetans got it good, they can spit out whatever shit they want about the chinese government without ramification. what culture eradication? theyre in their temples in monk garb, well fed, and speaking openly about stuff. sorry but this doesnt shame anyone. any government in the world will crack down on rioters. america did it in 1992 la riots. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Possibly the massive and incomprehensible title?
Well, your version is certainly more ironic.
Of course, it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE that these monks were lying to the outside world…
