The best part about this is that his songs pissed off the cops so much that they couldn't just be satisfied with stealing his shit; they had to take him to court about how much he hurt their feelings!

They look ten times more ridiculous than if they had just let it go.

They likely sued because he has them on video directly stealing cash out of one of his jackets. Thry were hoping he'd shut up.

Afroman for US President. He's just as qualified as the current one

Even more qualified. Being a decent human being makes You more qualified. Being able to put together a coherent sentence makes You more qualified. It is, in fact, difficult to imagine someone less qualified to be president, than Trump.

Hey, don't slander Trump like that! I'm sure there are plenty of newborn babies out there whose mothers smoked crack while pregnant. At least one of them must be less qualified than him, statistically.

Incorrect. Trump is the most unqualified.

That was sarcasm. It was used to express that jokes become less humorous when someone tries to explain them.

I thought that was grounds for disqualification?

Worth pointing out that Afroman is a dedicated Trumper and likened the raid on his home to the FBI raid on Maralago during the documents case.

@UnspecificGravity Honestly, he strikes me as just kind of dumb and immature. "Hunter Got High". Oh, that's very clever, Joe. I bet the other kids at the food court after school found it hilarious. He's like a stoner version of John Valby.

That is basically every Trumper I know in real life. Just really stupid and childish people who respond to memes as if they are actual information upon which to make a decision.

Mostly they are also too stupid and lazy to actually vote, so they are relatively harmless.

Can't pass Basic, can't be a little soldier? Might as well be the weapon. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤢

If we accept Afroman now he may just be ready in time for 2028. If we don't it's going to be another 2016.

Watched his testimony. Aftoman is intelligent, thoughtful, and well-spoken - way more qualified than the Rapist-in-Chief.

Well he did counter sue but the judge (corrupt) tossed his counter.

I did not follow this that closely but the small part I did see had the judge do things like try to tell the jury that the ex wife of the deputy was not an expert witness in her own marriage and that the jury needed to treat her testimony as from a layperson unlike an expert witness like a deputy. Not really a surprise that the judge who let this play out and covered for the police continuously also tossed out the counter claim for property damage and theft.

Yeah, and I think the judge actually did more harm to the cops in this case. Most people on that jury would likely be rolling their eyes at that point. Also the cops calling afroman to the stand blew up in their faces hard, just take a watch if your so inclined:

https://youtu.be/rE8mtNCsihE?t=19

Like the guy or not that was a great shut down of the entire premise of the suit against him.

31

When I have time I want to find the whole thing, but to be honest I don't know if they even bothered to cross. I mean why would you?

9

I really hope to have the outlook afroman currently has about this type of situation. Where a massive miscarriage of justice was perpetrated and he makes fun songs about it. I mean the gucking lemon pound cake was just the god damned cherry on top of the acab massive library of shittiness.

I just don’t understand how anybody could see what happened to this man and not understand just how deeply corrupt the police and judges in this case are. Every single one of them belongs in prison, or more accurately underground.

I know the case wasn't actually about this but I can't understand why when executing a search warrant looking for kidnap victims you would proceed to ransacked the kitchen. Stick your head in there, is there anyone tied up in there, nope. So then you leave, I doubt someone's been held captive in the cutlery drawer.

11

I only watched one of his videos, but there was a whole verse about that.

"Any kidnapping victims inside my suit pockets?" he sings, over footage of cops rummaging through the jackets hanging in his closet.

5

Well as a matter of course cops look for drugs. Even when the resident called them for completely unrelated reasons

1

It's in the banana republic after all.
In their reasoning he should be happy he wasn't shot.
(which could very well have happened if he was at home)

I have been trying to figure out where to post the local news clip of him winning.
It really was sweet to see how the community actually really came out in support of him and they were handing out lemon pound cake at the courthouse.

56

Watched Aftoman's testimony. It's beggars belief that the police's attorney repeatedly demands sympathy from both Afroman and the jury for the poor, victimized police officer's hurt feelings and embarrassment after her actions were made public.

Afroman puts it well when the attorney is trying to get that sympathy, “But I'm not a person. She is. I'm sorry for being a victim. Let's talk about the predators [instead].”

52

That raid was crazy stupid. Like, even for US police standards. Also, kidnapping haha

39

Afro man def put up a badass response to that questioning…

But it’s with also mentioning the prosecutor is fucking terrible at his job.

Afroman did a great job in the stand, but the prosecutor was straight up LAME in their questioning.

The lawyer rolled over at the end of questioning, that’s rare…

No, it's LEMON POUND CAKE BY AFROMAN GRANDPA! Let's get you off to bed

He wore said suit in the concert I was at, and played a Marijuana leaf guitar. Dude is a meme.

Edit it was a dollar bills suit

This whole kerfuffle really irks me. The police did something wrong. They got called out on it. Then they sued. It's vindictive and horrible. And you fucking KNOW that if he sued them instead of making the song it very likely wouldn't have gone anywhere and they'd get to wave their qualified immunity all over. But that wasn't enough for them. They just couldn't stand someone besmirching their perfect name.

The sheer irony of this whole thing is that I had forgotten. I imagine many of you did too if you even saw those videos he made after it happened a few months back. They totally Streisand effected (Streisand affected? lol) themselves. Absolutely disgusting to see them sue him over this. Very glad he won.

Somone pleas correct me if im wrong, but he had a counter suit and everything got thrown out almost immediately because the judge was essentially gobbing the cops knobs.

Gobbing the cops knobs, cops have qualified immunity, what's the difference.

I was not going to steal that poundcake,
but I was high.
And then I really scarfed down that poundcake,

And now I'm stuck in court and I know why... yeah why...

This whole case is going to make a great documentary one day. I just hope Netflix doesn’t make it (for obvious reasons)

10

Netflix doesn't make content that's meant to be watched anymore. It's meant to be played in the background while you doomscroll. I'd rather watch something that wants to be watched.

Everything Netflix makes feels like slop now. Once upon a time NF was a marker of quality, but now they make every documentary 3 or 4 parts for no reason—dragging out storylines until they are boring—and they all look the same visually. There isn’t anything that makes them unique. They feel paint by numbers.

This is extra disappointing with a filmmaker like Chris Smith who has made some all time classic films (American Movie, American Job), but his Netflix stuff now looks like anyone in the Netflix stable could have directed them.

3

Lol, Netflix had a few quality shows but they have had more slop than quality at all times they have done productions. They had to retire the Netflix original title as it became synonymous with slop.

@RobotToaster I know it didn't happen, but in my head-canon the Defence just shrugged and said, "Okay, but it's.. I mean, LOOK at this guy. Are you saying this clown defamed you and made your life worse? Really? Are you fucking four years old?"

It piss me off that he support trump (I figure it's because he got so high he didn't know where he was) but he still does a damn good show. Saw him a few years back.
