There are black thugs. There are white thugs.
There are black cops. There are white cops.
There are black priests. There are white priests.
There are black squares. There are white squares.
It is not the color of your skin, but the content of your character. MLK

Phillips' career was overshadowed by his inability to stay out of trouble off the field; he was arrested several times. In 2015, Phillips was charged with the murder of his former cellmate, Damion Soward.^[1]^[2]^[3] Phillips died by suicide on January 13, 2016, at Kern Valley State Prison in Delano, California, where he was serving a seven-year term for felony assault with a deadly weapon and was set to serve an additional twenty-five years once that sentence elapsed for domestic assault on his girlfriend.^[4]

This piece of trash was the very definition of a thug. Beat up women (choked out a woman), children (drove his car into a group of 14 year olds) and men(killed his cell mate).

He deserves no sympathy at all.

He would not have an audience if he didn't have an audience during that slaughter of Spurrier and Florida and that total dismantling of a 1 vs 2 match up. He was so dominant that game along with Tommy Frazier that he became an immortal that follows him the rest of his short and shitty life.

As long as it's not glorifying anything he did and a good lesson for younger people, I'm okay with it.

And as a native St. Louisan, I have no love loss for LP or Leonard Little.

I thought they showed a softer side of him. It was as positive as a documentary could be on an absolute bad guy. The beginning actually gave background on how awful his life was before 12 and the end gave an astute observation of what our society does to poor and brown kids in foster care failing them. Everything in between was highlights and criminal.
