Jamiel Shaw in early 2008

Jamiel Shaw in early 2008

I have been criticized by many in the media for an article I posted last month on a topic that has become quite sensitive to many. It’s the type of issue where the truth goes against most people’s sensibilities and I have been accused of having relationships with organizations and individuals that I have never, never, never met. I write on this issue because it is one that I have been passionate on for 15 years and I studied gangs as an observer and throughout my undergraduate and graduate time at the University of Southern California.

As a result of John & Ken on 640 KFI and Doug McIntyre on 790 KABC, I received a level of hate calls and messages that was unprecedented in the 10 years my website has been on the internet. Their commentary on the subject matter was just wrong, and their explanation to my motivation was also dishonest. I was invited to go on the John & Ken show, but I declined because their producer wanted me to defend a statement that I never made in my original article and that was an indication to me that the attack was on. McIntyre never called or invited me to go on his program, and on May 13, 2008 he made some insidious comments about me and my conclusions.

I was invited on the Larry Elder show, and although many love him and many hate him, I must say he was extremely respectful to me and unfortunately I did not receive that level of respect from the other commentators on this issue.

    I don’t think they should give the cat the death penalty. what they gonna give him the death penalty because law enforcement failed to properly keep him in custody? I Mean its on and Krackin in LA period.

    He already sentenced to the death for killing a blood kuz the bloods is at them faketeens. If he illegal he shouldn’t have been in this country period. He fukkin it up for all the Latino’s that worked hard to come here the legal way and do it correctly.
