Rapper DMX busted with pit bulls and meth [Updated: 10/8/07 ]

Sheriff Joe has a God complex, the animal cruelty was probably nothing more then a ruse to search his house for more incriminating items, when they couldn't have gone about it any other way.

Lacey is right, Joe has a history of capitalizing on media sensationalism. As paranoid as it may sound, time to ditch them dogs people. Especially if you have drugs and lots of $

Its called extortion and Joe has it down to a science. ;(
quoted for truth. That dude wanted to setup road blocks for random searches (until he was told that it was unconstitutional and that he could not do that!! lol)

"* On 31 July 2007 Simmons was stopped by police for driving an illegal motorbike and he has been reported for driving without a license and without insurance. A court date has not been set as of August 1, 2007.[citation needed]"

an illegal motorbike... maybe he was just role playing his character from cradle 2 the grave =D

I think animal abuse is evil.

I think animal abuse is evil too. And i still support DMX. Why, becuz I honestly dont believe he did it. Its funny that yall are basically saying "Well the publicity hound, asshole , racist sheriff with a trick up his sleeve says that there was dogfighting, so then it must be true." Cops lie all the time, and Keep in mind: The alleged perp was not home for 2 months before this happened. All it takes is a shitty caretaker and some "Ayo X left the crib for a few months, wanna set somethin up" Etc. and then there you go, add ignorant fools left in control, to a greedy bitch sheriff lookin for attention and applause and then you got this case.

Anyone familiar with dmx's music knows that he is obsessed with dogs and loves them more than people. just listen to pretty much any song by him and he mentions his dogs. This dude fuckin loves his animals, all you ever see is him talk about this. i dont know how to stress it enough to the ones who dont know this, but if you are more than a casual fan of dude you will know this.

like i said in my post before, he got a huge tattoo of his old pit bull that died on his back, hes always sayin he would die for his dogs, loves them more than anything, the only thing he can relate to, and know what i believe that shit. he really loves these pets that he has, and I aint a gullible bitch but on some real shit i really do not believe that he was fightin em. I think its a setup and some dumb ass niggas from the block that he left to run his shit while he was away done fucked it up. X got a shitty reputation. he got a bad rap sheet. he is the perfect victrim, no one is gonna take his word over the cops especialy now when this "JUST HAPPENS TO BE" right around the same time as the shit with michael vick. What a suprise. dont yall see the transparency of the case. For those of yall that aint aware of how serious DMX is about his put bulls, ill make a analogy for ya's -- as far as love for animals goes, this is like accusing PETA of dogfighting.

i think its fucked up that everyone just jumpin on the bandwagon when the facts aint all in yet. Im tellin ya he didnt do that shit it was some no-good-ass fuckup who he let manage his shit while he was away and they fucked it all up. Where is the reports from neighbors that he was doin this, where is the animal cruelty charges/complaints from before? If he doin that shit on the regular then there is gonna be information on file in the county /town hes in about it. this is the perfect time, dogfighting is the "issue of the moment" right now and he is a perfect target b/c his bad past w/crime. I dont want nobody guilty of dogfightin to go unpunished. And i also dont wanna see some dude whose reputation gets in the way of justice in a cooked-up case gettin shitted on over some shit hes innocent of.

All yall are so quick to condemn this dude w/out knowin the full story, lookin at the dudes past in unrelated crimes, and ignoring his well known feelings about his pets.

I fuckin hate dogfighting. i think its some fuckin pathetic shit. its wrong and hurtin animals is wrong as hell, they are innocent creatures with no harm meant to nobody. So dont take it lik eim sayin "Let him get off on this, let him get away with it" im sayin, He didnt do it.
Pictures dont mean all that much but check these out...come on.....

^ Excellent post lacey k. As with anything in the media concerning drugs, quite often it is inaccurate. Add on top of that Arizona drug cops (always questionable), and the celebrity element to the story (which is always milked by those involved), and you have a situation that is highly questionable. I don't know if he did it or not, but I sure don't take everything I read at face value.
 
(just to note, if anyone's wondering about who sheriff joe arpaio is, and happen to watch the showtime show 'bullshit', he's that bat-shit crazy sherriff in the 'war on drugs' episode)

He also makes his inmates sleep outdoors(in the AZ desert) and wear pink jumpsuits.
"Many civil libertarians denounce him for what they believe to be a willingness to ignore constitutional rights in favor of blind enforcement. Arpaio has stated that his goal is to have the most populated jail in the country."

"After his stints with the local police forces of Washington and Las Vegas, Arpaio obtained a job as a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, working with DEA for 32 years."

"America's Toughest Sheriff"
During his tenure as Maricopa County Sheriff, Arpaio has instituted or strengthened several community programs to lower crime and protect the safety of citizens, such as:

bicycle registration,
block watches,
child identification and fingerprinting,
Operation Identification (for marking valuables),
Operation Notification (which identifies business owners during times of emergency),
Project Lifeline (which provides free cellular phones to domestic violence victims),
S.T.A.R.S. (Sheriffs Teaching Abuse Resistance to Students), an anti-drug campaign, and
an annual summer camp for kids near Payson. "

"Arpaio has also included on the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office website an online "deck of cards" featuring pictures of deadbeat parents, amounts owed and last known whereabouts. Later, he published mugshots of all inmates booked into the county jail, which are available for viewing on the county website."

"Arpaio believes that inmates should be treated as harshly as legally possible to emphasize the punishment aspect of their incarceration. Thus, upon his initial election Arpaio began instituting the controversial changes for which he would later become noted."

"Arpaio began to serve inmates surplus food (mainly outdated and oxidized green bologna)[1] and limited meals to twice daily. Meal costs would be reduced to 90 cents per day; as of 2007 Arpaio states that he has managed to reduce costs to 30 cents per day. Certain food items were banned from the county jail, mainly coffee (which also reduced 'coffee attacks' on guards),"

Anyone interested should really check out his wiki page, this guy seems to be the premiere dickhead sheriff of our country. Those were just random cut/pastes, there's a whole lot worse on this link:

Holy shit! That Joe Arpaio guy sounds like a real winner. 8(
 
Yea, definately not like somebody who would frame a high profile rapper w/ past criminal charges. Id let Apraio meet my grandma for tea 8(
 
Forget the drug charges, judging from his other RAP (haha) sheet, this guy needs a good kick in the butt and spend some quality time in jail :p

Exactly, these current charges may well be bullshit but looking at DMX's past rap sheet shows the guy is a walking crime spree. Unless you believe its a conspiracy reaching all the way to merry old England that DMX is a victim of.

DMX has no one but himself to blame if his past behaviour makes people believe a load of bullshit.
 
Truth be told, I hate DMX and I hate his music, if you want to even call it that but I will side with "almost" any criminal over Joe Arpaio.

He lost all credibility well over a decade ago? The constituents of Az must be blind or weak. I think its a combination of both. Hell, the politicians are either criminals themselves or used car dealers. They will never get another dime of my money. Until he is out of office I advise everyone to leave and touristas even considering a visit beeware! I'd rather take my chances in Malaysia.

Speaking of credibility, ex-governor Fife Symington is another winner. I saw him on Larry King the other day, claiming he saw UFOs in the sky and other such bullshit. WTF is this world coming to? Infringement of civil liberties, imaginary apparitions, concentration camps, forced starvation...They may as well replace them with that fake psychic Cleo.

Its like the pot calling the kettle black. Criminals shouldn't bee prosecuted by other criminals. There should bee a higher standard. Or just just toss out all the cases! At this point, the dogs were probably planted for all I know. Don't we expect more from a lowly informant? Maybe not in Arizona. Sheesh ;)
 
Yo regardless of DMX's skill as a rapper I think death follows this man. I really don't know what to say about him anymore. I don't know or assume this is true but damn. DMX just has death right on his ass. People really hate this man.

Thats the most fuckin retarded crap i heard all morning dude. How can you say that? "Well, he did crime in the past, so that means he is from now on guilty until proven innocent." How would you feel if you fucked up cuz of a drug addiction and kept makin stupidass mistakes...Robbin ppl to get high, mad possession charges, possession w/distribution, etc. all that shit on your record from when you were a dumbass hooked on dope/crack/meth, whatever your DOC is. Now youre clean and out of trouble, and you think its totally right and OK for people to assume youre still on drugs, still a criminal, and use your past to frame you for a crime? Thas some ignorant ass shit right there.

the past aint the present. As much as people do look at that shit , the fact is , when somebody gets accused of a crime, they are goin to sentencing for THAT CRIME, not every other fuckin crime they ever did in the past too. that shit aint right. thats the type of thinkin that prevents people from gettin justice in the US system. im always amazed on here when people are so close minded abou tjustice/punishment and the legal system here , when theres a 99% chance they break the law every day. you might not break it as blatantly as other people or get caught as much but you still aint on the right side of the law buddy.

In the past I done stupid things...But if you do one kinda crime it dont mean youre guilty of some other kind too. I might get in trouble with drugs in the past, does that mean ima ever do prostitution? HELL NAH! Even criminals got standards of what they will and wont do. I wanna see DMX framed for some white collar crime, like tax evasion and inner stock trading. Does that make it believable? NO, why becuz people expect black men to be into crime and certain types of crime. Thats why its fucked up. By your logic Garuda then it should be just as easy to believe that he did it, cuz he got a criminal past. but nobody would believe that. So they have to go to some ghetto-ass "Nigga charge" to try and make it believable as somethin that he would do. 8( Do you see what im sayin here....

AS far as dmx goes, he did his time for his other crimes , those are done with. so why would you want to see someone go to jail for shit they already went to jail for. Yall are like fuckin cryin for his head, its nutz.
 
Past crimes have no bearing on whether he's guilty or innocent on future crimes. But, statistically speaking, someone who has committed, or has been charged, with a lot of past crimes is likely to re-offend.

when somebody gets accused of a crime, they are goin to sentencing for THAT CRIME, not every other fuckin crime they ever did in the past too.
True, past crimes can't effect the outcome of future crimes, but they do affect the sentencing!
 
lacey k, you gotta be fucking kidding man.

"How would you feel if you fucked up cuz of a drug addiction and kept makin stupidass mistakes...Robbin ppl to get high" - plus multiple assault weapon convictions, murder what not. - I would feel like a piece of shit who is a menace to society and should be locked up for life or killed.

Drug addiction is no excuse for robbing people, owning assault weapons, or killing people. People who's addictions are so out of control that they do those things deserve to be locked up or killed.

Normal people would serve serious time for DMX's offenses, why shouldn't he? Because he's a rapper and people who listen to shitty music like him? So DMX deserves to get away with all of this because he rhymes about the hood and drugs and killing people over hip hop beats and makes money for it? I don't get it

Drug addicts are just as responsible for their decisions as non-addicts, that is no excuse.
 
Drug addiction isn't an excuse for owning assault weapons - there shouldn't be any laws against assault weapons in the first place (aside from those already on regular guns anyways)!!

And how do you 'not get it' that he gets away with all this stuff? Did you mean to say 'you don't like it'?

Aight, lemme help you out with this one since you seem to be having a rough time.

1. DMX did many crimes.

2. He served jail time multiple times as punishment for the crimes.

3. Those crimes are now done with , since he completed his punishment for them

4. We aint talking about the crimes he done in the past, since that aint what he is now charged with.

5. DMX is now in trouble for a crime that it is highly likely he did not commit.

6. I dont support people getting sent to jail for things they didnt do. I also dont understand why you cant seem to grasp this concept without talkin about how much you hate his music. Guess what? Fuck you, I dont give a shit what the hell you think about this music, since this aint about that, and it aint music forum neither.

:)

Oh yea i forgot #7.

Youre fuckin loco if you think people deserve the death penalty for bein a drug addict.

with that post you just showed your incredibly confusing ideas about the justice system and made me realize that I thought i actually had a intelligent debate here but its just like arguing with a 7th grader. you keep repeatin the same shit which is irrelevant, you cant stop talkin about his music and how much you hate it for some reason, , and you support the death penalty for some ridiculous shit that obviously dont call for it. So, dont waste your breath on posting back. you got me laughin at you pretty good right about now. Thanx for the entertainment. Basically what im sayin is youre a fuckin joke and you just proove it more everytime you post.
