“I hope Afroman really did fuck that cop’s wife” – rando internet comment
This piqued my interest into the Afroman saga which is much too long to totally explain, but here’s the gist.
– Some street rat [turns out was a felon] informed the police that Afroman sells drugs, kidnaps and tortures victims in his basement [NVM that his home doesn’t have a basement, but hey, it’s the Ohio police].
– Adam’s County sheriffs barge in, break his gate and door on top of ransacking his house. They turn off his security cameras because, ya know, that’s what perfectly legit cops do; needless to say, they didn’t find the sex dungeon. They don’t reimburse him for his damages and tell him to shove their apologies up his ass. Apparently, under the law, most cops can indeed break down YOUR shit, ransack your home, traumatize your family, and barge out like the Gustapo.
– So, Afroman makes a [shitty] song about it to try to raise enough $$$ for new gate and door.
“I asked myself as a powerless black man in America, what can I do? And the only thing I can come up with was, make a funny rap song about them, and make some money, use the money to pay for the damages, and move on.” – Afroman
He says some stuff about the sheriffs as you may imagine, including one particular officer he coins “Officer Poundcake.” He also accuses the cops of stealing $400 bucks from his legal stash [why else would they turnoff the cameras?].
– Ohio cops suddenly develop feelings like they’re on the Oprah Winfrey couch and claim Afroman’s songs have victimized THEM. I guess sheriffs are total snowflakes for enough shakedown. Officer Poundcake specifically cites emotional trauma esp since Afroman implies he fucked his wife, which under oath, he can’t actually deny. I don’t know how you can look your friends in the eye after that, but hey, you baked the lemon poundcake, now eat it! Welcome to Winchester, Ohio, pop 1K.
– Jury finds that Afroman actually has freedom of speech though he still has to pay the lawyers out of his pocket. $$$ most of us regular folk don’t have. Food for thought.
“I wanted to drug traffic, but then I got high…I wanted to build a torture basement, but then I got high…”
A JAG Lawyer breaks it down citing, of all things, the precedent of Hustler owner Larry Flynt writing that Rev Jerry Falwell literally fucked his mother.
