Tupac’s stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, has not been released from prison.
After reports circulated yesterday (February 11) that he had been freed, VladTV spoke with Mopreme Shakur, Tupac‘s stepbrother, who says that his father is still incarcerated.
The 65-year-old is “supposed to be out, but he’s not out yet,” Shakur says. “[We are] dealing with that shit now.”
The Journal News originally cited the Federal Bureau of Prisons to say that Shakur had been released from California’s Victorville Penitentiary. The story has since been updated to reflect that Shakur is still in prison and is awaiting a hearing scheduled for April.
Shakur was sentenced to 60 years in prison in 1998 for plotting the 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored car. Two police officers and a security guard were killed in the incident.
Authorities expressed surprise that Shakur is eligible for an early release considering the nature of the crime.
“I am disappointed the system doesn’t seem to hold people accountable for their actions,” Rockland County Undersheriff Robert Van Cura said. “He was someone who was violent, responsible for death and terror for people living in the metropolitan region.”
Shakur is to be portrayed in the forthcoming Tupac biopic, All Eyez On Me, by The Wire actor Jamie Hector.
how in the? guess you can take somebody’s life and still live to see another day outside the walls of a penitentiary?
Free shakur fuck the haters.
check white history and see how many white people are released early for no reason in proportions to blacks. You’re argument is invalid.
He’s a pos and needs to stay his ass right where he is or better yet let the victims family take him in IMMEDIATELY. Shakur and his whole family are nothing but TALKERS, whole others do the dirty work.
Bitch shut da fuck up hoe these police doing blacks supa bad and u talking shit at least he did do some kind of time for his actions these polices walking free u aint got shit to say bout that huh.
You can tell its sum dumb white hoe who says she doesn’t like blacks but 5 minutes later she’s deep throating a black dick smh
If i suport his freedom the clan would mess with me, but i do not think hes a pos he desearves to see another day but free. We all desearve are freedom mine is mind torture by the fbi co harts ,.the man came along way. He is a dr now .people could his skills . He never gave up. Maybe he should have a youth group.
God speed to the shakur family good luck
They should release the innocent man ! What statement is ” he plotted …..?” Which false long relation is that ???? ,..Even those police killing innocent Blacks from guns to body are walking out freely !
Wow reading these comments a whole year later well my opinion on seeing the documentary on Mutula seems like a government set up to remove him from society due to a couple of government toes he’s step on but to really be honest about the matter what was done to all the slave masters and families who freely killed black people and their families and kids what is being done now for the unjustified killing of blacks by white officers so dont talk about or judge this man unless we are bringing up everything that has happened to blacks in the past and furture by the hands of whites?
