Desperately sad news to hear of his death...here's a man that willingly swapped punches with fellow professionals for a living, gunned down by jerks that didn't want to be told not to smoke. RIP James.
Funny you should say that my man, cos I am always courteous to any people I meet, bar staff, people working behind the till at my local ASDA etc, I always have a please & a thankyou for them. My mother brought me up to have good manners. However, a few years go I went into a pub with my missus for a pub lunch, & I put in my order, & asked for drinks too, & while I was waiting some big fat **** who thought he was hard tried to mock me right after I was served by asking for a pint & saying Pleeasse & Thankssss to the barman an exaggerated manner as if he was taking the ****. I wasnt going to get involved with him & his pals though, cos the way I look at it, if some **** mocks you for having good manners they have obviously had a **** upbringing. In my book, being tough isnt about being an ignorant ***** who has no common decency. The world is getting worse, when manners are frowned upon by the youth of today.
I agree but the weird thing is that even most of the nasty ****s back home are generally okay with bar staff. Saying cheers mate etc is just the total norm in Britain. And everyone knows I am about as anti racist as it gets, but honestly this being rude to bar staff thing is pretty much only black guys. It sounds bad and trust me plenty of black guys who come into the pubs are safe as ****, but over the course of 3 years in two pubs in NW10 my mates say that 90% of the customers who wont say please or thankyou are black guys and by the way one of those mates is black. It is the same "disrespect" culture in the ghetto areas....it is almost like being rude is making a point, **** knows what the point is, but it is a total contrast to the old Jamaican guys who come in and are cheerful as ****, often buy you a drink too.
R.I.P to the Great Boxer. Sad very sad to hear that he died. Those guys who did this should be hanged.
The ******* (Kanyanta Mulenga) who shot James dead was found guilty of murder today. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article4908201.ece This is the ***** ass ******* who shot James : This content is protected
I understand James was a popular and well respected man in many circles. I don't suppose this guy's going to have a pleasant time in prison......
He's been given a life term, with a minimum set of 28 years. I was worried he'd get away with something much lighter...life should mean life, but even at least Mulenga will be over 50 by the time he gets out. If he gets out... Again, RIP James Oyebola. A few months back I noticed the local Big Issue had him on the cover with an article about him, and I bought a copy and chatted to the seller for a while about James. He was pretty cut up about it too.
