My fellow booze named bimbo is responsible and you black leaders need to back off and let her take responsibility for her actions.
I would love to know if Brandy was doing her makeup or texting on her cell phone behind the wheel... otherwise, I would agree with the comment 'Brandy tried to do the right thing. Destroying 2 lives is not going to fix anything.'
No matter how you look at it she did not intentionally set out to kill anybody. Thus it was an accident! Sh*t happens! She already has to live with it and now they are considering putting her in jail. Good god! That’s Justus in America. Put her in jail and then sue her for an ungodly amount of money. Let me ask you something, how would you feel if it was you?
If Brandy killed my children with her SUV, I would demand the DA let her go because she's a celebrity and doing otherwise would be 'unfairly targeting her'. That's why I want to become a star...so I can kill people with my car and get away with it. That's what Amerika is all about!!! Yay Hollywood!
I wish that I was black and famous....I too could get away with murder.
Oh ok just because she is black and famous she should be able to get away with what she does!!! I wonder if it was just average every day black person if they would go to these extremes!! She should be treated just like everyone else. No matter what color she is or how famous she is! If she cause a accident that killed someone, then charges should be filed!
Give me a break. If it's found she killed a person she should be held responsible just like any other person. Maximum penalty is one year in jail, wow what an inconvenient interruption in her life... oh wait, someone DIED.
There cannot possibly be any proof that this particular celebrity is being treated unfairly. Even if she were, there could not possibly any proof at this early date that there is any racial or stupid anti-celebrity bias at work. People like Najee should be held civilly liable for playing judge-jury-executioner and blathering out such knee-jerk slander. As long as we're talking about bias, did Najee come to the same conclusion about Mel Gibson's drunken self-emolation? I'll bet Kim Basinger deserves her contempt of court charges but Wesley Snipes should not have to pay taxes, right? Of course, Nicole and Paris surely deserve their DUI troubles, but poor Mike Tyson is being framed for all that cocaine, eh, Najee?
' That’s Justus in America.' Please learn to spell 'Justice' before trying to comment on it. If this was truly an accident, she should not be punished. But if she was on the cell phone/ doing makeup/ etc... that is the definition of Negligent Homicide. She was negligent, and she caused someone to die. People MUST be held responsible for their actions, celebrity or not. At least someone else MIGHT NOT put on makeup or whatever while driving (if that is the case) because they saw that you can go to jail if someone gets hurt/killed.
DO the city file charges in every accident if someone died? If not why do it this time.
Black people are such confused racists. Because 'whitey' doesn't suppress them anymore they have to get more and more extreme with their charges.
This article brings to light the tacky race joke that black leaders are trying to pull on America.
OK
so she made a mistake... tell that to the ones that the dead person left behind. What the Hell? We cant hold a celebrity to account in the country anymore without black leaders getting up in arms?.. Did we learn nothing from OJ?...Pityful
Wow I really wish I had some high and mighty race warrior to come to my defense every time I screwed up. Man that would be so cool. People screw up, white people screw up, black people screw up, yellow people screw up, and red people screw up. When they do the law should be applied equally. Seems like if you are black you either get the shaft laid to you if you are poor, or you get to have the media firing for you if you are white. I mean how many times is Snoop going to get arrested in 2007? I mean who will OJ kill next? How many more book deals will he get this year? All the time they are many POOR Black (and white, and yellow, and red) men and women setting in jail right now no one giving a royal flying fig.
Charge her hard, and put her fancy pants little bottom in jail with the real people in the world.
The title says it all... 'Black leaders cry foul'. This race card crap has really gotta stop. Sometimes people make mistakes and mess up. Even black people! But I guess the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would never understand that because blacks are always an automatic victim. This is a joke!!
It is a common practice of the CHP to recommend misdemeanor manslaughter charges in traffic accidents resulting in death. Ultimately, the various District Attorney's offices will evaluate the traffic collision report, and decide if the charges are warranted.
If a vehicle #1 hits vehicle #2 from behind, it is always considered to be the fault of the driver of vehicle #1. If the accident is Brandy's fault, then the death is her fault. Legally, that's manslaughter, and I can see no reason to make an exception.

This is not Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. These are LA-based Black Islamic folks. You can't lump all 'black leaders' together.
ok E, how would YOU feel if that was your child she hit? Would YOU let her off scot free?
I do not think she is being targeted because she is famous. I think she is getting what she desires, someone died because of a direct result of her actions. Accident or not. As a result, she has to pay the piper.
Black leaders who are calling foul. Just reminder the facts in the case, regardless of skin color.
the black leaders need to stop making this out of,a racial thing when a black person get in trouble with the law. What color was the other person? Dose it even matter? A person is dead because of an other persons poor actions. thats what matters.
