Where did you get this from?

Kimimila1006 · 02-03-2006, 11:54 PM

What "community news" did this come from?? Most media outlets do not take sides and blatantly voice opinions...this was written with intention to directly slander only Cliff. This is not the complete story! Not to mention the punctuation errors and misspelled words in the article...this seems like community news from Calvin Burns' living room.

Calvin Burns got his *** kicked when he was called to the scene to be confronted because it was discovered that he had replaced the RedHawk # with his own cell # and was stealing gigs from all the redhawk dancers. When he was confronted there were words and he and Cliff got into a fight. The cops were called and Cliff was booked with misdeamenor assault, and then let go. AND THIS CAN BE CHECKED WITH THE 90TH PRECINCT.

There is no "gang"...and it had nothing to do with The Legion of Doom. This had to do with Calvin stealing money and gigs from RedHawk.

You should be one to talk! Billy-Joe Jim-Bob "getter dun" lol

I remember when a lot of great pw trail ndns now weren't ndn 2 years ago.

The letter is so uncredible. It doesn't even list the performers names or anything and whoever wrote it didn't have the balls enough to sign it.

Cliff is a good guy. He does a lot to help educate ppl about the native way. Most ndns can't even do that.

**jdazmum** · 02-12-2006, 01:42 AM

This is hilarious! Love drama.

qwade-that was some funny $hit. "the both of them aren't even indian anyway...." That is so funny.

**jdazmum** · 02-12-2006, 01:45 AM

Wait a minute.........those this have anything to do with powwows? if not, take your thread to native news, it would be okay is a brawl happened at a powwow.
