Our new NY governor David Patterson pardons rapper “Slick Rick” who has spent more than 5 years in prison for the attempted murder of two men in 1991. Slick Rick is a legendary hip hop pioneer that changed the rap music industry.
Patterson says that Slick Rick (real name: Ricky Walters) served enough of his sentence that he should be able to be let free so he can move on with his life and get his past behind him.

If Slick Rick goes in a murderous rampage again like he did before, impeach Mr. Patterson.
We always get one bad governor after the next.
