Curious statement. It suggests he was either driving in a circle or the victims were moving.; 1/30/15, 9:04 AM

What? He backed over them in reverse, and then drove over them. Straight back, straight forward.; 1/30/15, 9:07 AM

If he wanted to kill them he wouldn't have stayed in the tracks.; 1/30/15, 9:09 AM

mccullough said...: His lawyer went on to say that Suge accidentally hit the guys while he was trying to get away from other guys who were trying to assault him. Since Suge was shot last year in a club, this is a plausible explanation.; 1/30/15, 9:36 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: I believe Suge is a Blood.

"...and injured another man as he fled attackers."

Depending on injuries, hopefully the injured man is not now a Crip.

BarrySanders20 said...: #Blacklivesmatter

I totally believe that he was being assaulted in his car by unseen assailants causing him to speed in reverse fast enough to run over the men he had an argument with just moments before, and then drive forward accidentally striking them again, unfortunately leaving them both dead. I wonder if the people in the BK saw these alleged assaulting assaulters and if they really posed such a danger that the rap mogul needed to kill two people to get away from them.

I confess I clicked on the click bait at the bottom of the article that said: Apparently Jail Has Turned Spetcor Into Gollum"

I wonder what fictional movie character Suge will turn into?; 1/30/15, 10:52 AM

No one was killed, just injured.

I am just wondering if he would have had these same long streaks of bad luck with the law if he had chosen accounting.; 1/30/15, 12:08 PM

glam1931 said...: Missing is the most hilarious part of the story: Entertainment Weekly last night said that the man killed was Terry Carter, then proceeded to identify him as 86 year old actor Terry Carter, who starred in McCLOUD and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in the 1970s-80s. Other websites ran with that story, and only in the last couple of hours have they started walking back the mis-identification. Turns out it's ANOTHER Terry Carter, possibly a 55 year old man who was once a producing partner with Ice Cube. Even Wikipedia listed actor Terry Carter as deceased as of Jan. 29, 2015...for about 8 hours.
What is funniest about this is that nobody thought it odd that an 86 year old distinguished retired actor would be hanging out with Suge Knight in Compton.; 1/30/15, 1:42 PM
robinintn said...: "The victim is Terry Carter, who we're told is a friend of Suge's who arrived with him at the scene"
This is from TMZ, so it's likely wrong, but if it's correct, it totally contradicts his story.; 1/30/15, 1:56 PM

That is similar to losing a parent, which is tragic. Losing two parents at the same time is carelessness.
