  • He says he was "wrong" in the words he chose, etc, but he never apologizes.

  • love you Bama

  • The USA has been regarded for decades as a wide-open insane-asylum!

  • If that's your thought process and your that narrow minded then it's no wonder the US is considered by many to be a country of idiots. Now enough said....lol

  • If you can be arrested for being an "ass" in your own property, Rush Limbaugh would have been in prison for forever by now. Ours is a nation of laws, and primacy of the individual.Not the other way 'round. 'Nuff said.

  • Simply ??? Did you hear the recording of the radio tranmissions? He was yelling like a psycho! Look at his picture when he was arrested! Still yelling with his mouth wide open. That's why people were gathering in the street to see what was going on. He was yelling. Gates is an ass. Even his students confessed to that.

  • waaaaaah. get over it. we all have problems with cops, smart people just shut up and let them pretend they are in charge

  • Gates was NOT abusive to the officer, He simplly asked for his badge number after Gates shoed his ID thru the screen-door. The cops KNEW who Gates was the entire time and KNEW IT WAS HIS HOUSE!!!

  • The damning thing, and why the cops are liable for lawsuit, is the cops KNEW WHO PROFESSOR GATES WAS THE ENTIRE TIME AND KNEW IT WAS HIS HOUSE!!!

    Which is majorly fucked up. Gates should sue their pants.

  • Yes racist views always have power, they give the person without skill a leg up on the competition.
