Kanye West Avoids Felony Charges in Airport Attack

by AL_CAPONE

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 29, 2008

Kanye West will not face felony charges along with his road manager, Don Crowley for a  scuffle with photographers at L.A.X. International Airport earlier this month.

Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for Los Angeles County District Attorney says the serious charges were declined and was referred to city attorneys, who will consider if West and Crowley will be charged with a misdemeanor. 

West was arrested September 11 on suspicion of felony vandalism when he was captured on video breaking a flash on the floor after a paparazzi attempted to take a picture of the rapper.

1. Kayne used his bodyguard as leverage to take the fall for breaking the cameraman's equipment.

2. The incident happened on September 11 at the check-in counter/lobby, interestingly enough.

3. And like I said, leverage works, and money talks. I'm not so sure about the Freemason loophole; I've already read a couple of articles on hip hop and freemasonry...so it might hold some truth, but not in a over-the-top way that some tin foil hat wearing wackos think.
