AMOUNT OF DRUGS SOLD WAS INCORRECT

Editor:

There was an article on me in your paper last week. There is a
correction to be made. You said in your paper that Marvin Meniar and I
were selling 20 grams of cocaine per month. The exact weight was 20
kilograms per month. No one gets 20 years for selling 20 grams per
month. Please. Make the correction. If you're so into putting these
petty things in your newspaper, at least do a good job at it.

One more thing, you should write an article about is how people in
West Virginia get away with murder and rape, especially if they're
white. But you catch a Hispanic or black for selling drugs, and we get
more time than a murderer and rapist.

I'm from New York City and this definitely doesn't happen in my city.
There is no violence in the sale of narcotics. There is malicious
violence in committing rape and murder.
