Proof slaying raises more questions than answers

Thursday, April 13th, 2006

So far the media coverage has been sparse, and what’s been released hasn’t been too clear. Several portrayals of Deshaun Holton have arisen, but none have portrayed him as a hair-triggered killer who would pistol whip a man, and then shoot him! But that’s exactly what has been purported to happen in the accounts given so far.

As is often the case, the reality of what happened will end up being different than the perceptions.  Very little eyewitness testimony has been given so far, but that will change in the coming days.  Proof’s killer was related to the man Proof shot, so a complicated tale might yet emerge.

Quick questions I can think of:

  1. Why was he out so late?
  2. Was he “partying on a Monday”?
  3. Did both parties involved in the alleged altercation know each other?
  4. Who fired the warning shot?

We’ll stay tuned to see what happens.

Lindsay Lohan’s Dad

Lindsay Lohan’s dad can be a real jerk. He’s been a true malcontent for years, and truthfully, it doesn’t even seem like he’s been nice to Lindsay much.

In every picture of him, he’s either 1) looking angry, or 2) being hauled off by the police.

He’s not photogenic at all, which is suprising considering his offspring.
Lindsay Lohan’s dad deserves our scorn for being such a putz, but we need to be grateful for his creative powers.

Not that anyone does, but Bucky Covington points finger at Simon.

Bucky was expecting that Simon would help him become a star, but now he realizes that Simon is just some tool from England, who is there to entertain the masses.  On next week’s episode, Bucky learns that the Bunny Rabbit is not real, either.
