A Swedish hip-hop artist and songwriter has been arrested following a road-rage confrontation on a Hollywood street in which a pedestrian died. Authorities say David Moses Jassy, a 34-year-old musician also known as Dave Monopoly, was to be arraigned today on charges of assault, battery and leaving the scene of a deadly accident. Prosecutors claim that the victim, John Osnes, slapped Jassy's rented sport utility vehicle on Sunday when it crept into his right of way as he crossed the road. Jassy then got out of his car, punched Osnes in the face then kicked him in the head when Osnes bent over to pick up his glasses, Los Angeles prosecutors alleged in a written statement.
Jassy then broke free of several people trying to restrain him and allegedly ran over Osnes as he tried to flee. Osnes, a 55-year-old jazz pianist, died at a hospital later that night.

Well officer she asked for trouble by wearing that mini-skirt!!
Ahh yes, Black, the get out of jail free color.
In both cases, the perp deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law...but, also in both cases, the victim, based on their own behavior, contributed to the danger they found themselves in.
Does a person deserve to be killed by a drunk driver because they choose to drive (sober, safely and legally) at 2 a.m. on a Saturday night. Of course not. Does a person who chooses to drive (safely, soberly and legally) at 2 a.m. on Saturday increase his chances of being killed by a drunk driver? Of course.
Many people who have really bad stuff happen to them don't deserve it...but many of those same people did things, hung out with people, went places or said stuff that contributed to the really bad things that happened to them.
Sure I understand somewhat from where you are coming from....but hey, all the guy may have done is place his hand on the guys car to shield himself. I dunno...and neither do you.
He’s got the gansta rap smug look down pact.

Obviously not. Just another mud-monkey from some Turd-World cesspool who’s ‘’culture’’ we should ‘’celebrate.
