Fortunately, The Official Fruit Of The District Is Not The Marionberry

Marion Barry, the former mayor of the District of Columbia, was arrested by the Park Police for driving too slowly...oh, and having a suspended driving licence. He is threatening to sue because he was profiled (apparently, he fit the profile of people with suspended driving licences) and inconvenienced (he couldn't drive all last weekend, forcing him to rely on cabs to meet hookers and buy crack).

Barry claimed that he was driving so slowly because he was twisting up a fatty, and that this was another example of discrimination by the man. Actually, I don't know if he was twisting up a fatty, but it seems a reasonable explanation given his lengthy history as a drug user.

What the fuck does he care? No jury will convict him.

Peace.
