Sounds like something A Pimp Named Slickback would do.

Dude sounds like an asshole but 100 years is extreme based on those two charges.

so not only do people get injured over jordans, but the get injured under them too.
laughed harder than I should have. Seriously though, pretty extreme sentence considering how lightly some people get off.
He will always be Papa Shango to me.
As much as I don't really condone what this guy does, I agree with him. If you call his shoes as a dangerous weapon to purposely try and lock him up in jail for as long as possible, then it should be classified as such. To be honest, 100 years is just stupid, and I don't believe he deserves it for the beating of the two persons.
They basically cheated him out, and he's calling them out on it. He may be scum, but they can't just bend the rules like that.

Wouldn't bashing someone with a crowbar also be considered the same?
He's not calling them out on it, he's suing a shoe company.

Pretty sure I saw some pimp harassing his "ho" one day by a mini mart. He was yelling all kinds of shit at her and putting his hands up with her backing up. Other people were already on the phone with the cops but he just got in his car and fucked off. Wonder if it was this dude. I couldn't see him very well given it was at night and across a main street.
What were you hauling?

Was hauling out a chair to make room for my other "acquisitions."
The 100 year sentence appears to have come from him committing 20 felonies in his 26 years of living, something missing from OP's article/source. Also, he could get parole after serving 36 years.

He got 100 years because he's a lost cause. It's just better to isolate him from the population until he dies at this stage. Look at the number of felonies he got. I don't think he was planning to stop any time soon.

I feel like some people think he was holding the shoe, not that it would make a huge difference. No, the article says he was repeatedly stomping on the guy's head.
Nah.
Quick search says Oregon state law defines a dangerous weapon as: Any weapon, device, instrument, material or substance which under the circumstances in which it is used, attempted to be used or threatened to be used, is readily capable of causing death or serious physical injury.
You put virtually any object on a human adult's foot and proceed to stomp on another person's head, and whatever that object is becomes a dangerous weapon. None of that necessitates a manufacturer to identify products in a different way just because someone can conceivably use them to beat or kill someone.
Maybe you don't like the idea of the law, but I'm pretty sure most places have the same basic concept.
