This update was requested and brought to my attention by tewpac himself. Probably his last update for a while.
In 1992, Ronald Ray Howard shot a Texas Trooper at age 19. During trials, his attorney claimed that the album "2Pacalypse Now", which was in his deck at the time of the shooting and contains songs vividly describing shooting cops, incited him to kill. Of course, the media jumped on this, creating a lot of controversy around 2Pac and this album. 13 years later, he has now been given an execution date to die on deathrow on October 6, 2005.
Now what he did was wrong and he should certainly be punished for it, but is this really right? 13 years... people change a lot in that time. I'm sure he has had time to reflect his actions and change his way. Do you think the same would have happened if it was the cop who had shot the black male. And don't try to tell me that never happens. This is social injustice at its finest.
Please support Ron Howard by clicking here to sign an online petition to spare his life.
He is also seeking legal services because he can not afford a lawyer and legal aid is not provided for his appeal at this stage. If any of you are or know a lawyer, please lend him a hand by emailing him at mail@ronhoward.org. His website is www.ronhoward.org

This Site's Mission
The site showcases Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented legend, who was born in the Bronx, New York on June 16, 1971 and died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996.
He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time.
2Pac's lyrics always went deep into the meaning of many political and social subjects including violence, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and broken families.
2Pac was well read as noted by his extensive reading list. 2Pac's poetry also reflected his many sides, some poems were motivated by love, some sought self-understanding and others were angry responses to the cruel injustices of American society.
Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.
2Pac was down to die for everything he represented. He was very open and always expressed his mind. Some people consider 2Pac a modern-day prophet. Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.
Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally. Tupac was charged with rape, a crime he did not commit, but was still convicted of sodomy (forcibly touching the buttocks). Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor. Tupac was also charged with shooting two off-duty police officers, but those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved. The first occured in 1994 in New York.
Most likely, 2Pac's killer was Orlando Anderson, a south-side crip. Theories abound as to who coordinated the hit. Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage. Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed. The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed. Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).
This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related. The mission of this site is to show all sides of Tupac -- his thoughts, inspirations, and direction in life. All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews. Hopefully, we can give you a better understanding of Tupac Shakur.
