Must not to make an Eli Porter reference . . . Must not to make an Eli Porter reference. Must . . . FAILED.

Samuel Raynard Jones, 20, was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison
for shooting a rival during a rap battle in a Haltom City
field.According to witnesses Jones and the victim, Christopher Smith,
17, met for a rap battle late one night in September 2006. The battle
went down in a field between an apartment complex and a church.

Smith rapped first. After he finished, Jones walked toward him
rapping and pointing a handgun at him, according to an affidavit. Jones
then gave his gun to one of the witnesses and began a fistfight with
Smith.

When the fight ended, Smith began looking for his personal
belongings. Witnesses said they heard a single gunshot and watched
Smith fall to the ground.

All of the witnesses ran, police said. Smith’s body was found the next day with a gunshot wound in the head.

I’ve heard of a hot 16 but this is just disturbing. Is CNN going to talk about this tonight on Being Black In America?
