2Pac’s stepfather Mutulu Shakur has reportedly been granted compassionate release from prison amid declining health.
According to The Intercept, the 72-year-old was permitted to spend his final days outside of prison by the U.S. Parole Commission on Thursday (November 10). Shakur was recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, with a Bureau of Prisons doctor claiming in May he had less than six months to live.
After 36 years behind bars, Mutulu Shakur is set to live out his remaining days in Southern California. He was previously denied prison release 10 times until an October hearing, where the federal parole commission admitted he held an impeccable institutional record and was no longer a risk to society.
“We now find your medical condition renders you so infirm of mind and body that you are no longer physically capable of committing any Federal, State or local crime,” the parole commission said.
The same parole commission denied his release in September, despite being gravely ill with terminal cancer at the time. Medical reports supported his decline in physical function, confusion and hallucinations, but only now is he eligible for freedom.
Shakur was convicted of racketeering conspiracy charges in 1981 for his involvement in the robbery of a Brink’s armored truck, where a guard and two police officers were killed. He took responsibility for his actions and expressed remorse, before later being convicted for helping 2Pac’s activist godmother, Assata Shakur, escape from prison.
Mutulu Shakur was incarcerated under “old law,” a set of federal sentencing guidelines in place for crimes before 1987, meaning his parole decisions have been under the oversight of the U.S. Parole Commission that was intended to be phased out decades ago.
A judge who rejected his request for compassionate release in 2020 told Shakur he could reapply at “the point of approaching death.” That same judge, now 90 years old, was the same person who sentenced him over 30 years ago.
“We are relieved that the Parole Commission now recognizes what has long been true — that Dr. Shakur’s release poses no risk whatsoever,” said Brad Thomson, one of Mutulu Shakur’s attorneys. “It is tragic that it took until he was on the verge of death for that truth to finally be realized.”
He added: “Mutulu will now be able to live out his final days, surrounded by the love and care of his family and close friends.”
Enjoy your life folks none of us will live forever
Thank you for being the peaceful one in all of this, you go make hair happen and have a great day doing it. peace
These white folk are the most savage people on the planet
Yet he’s the one that got 2 people killed🤔
Yet, the old bitch💩 that got a young innocent back youth, named EMMETT LOUIS TILL who was savagely mutated, beaten, & murder buy COWARDS. & Her old, decrypted, decaying, dying ass NEVER spent a day in PRISON, now ain’t that some shit🤔.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 TY LET CIVIL DUMB ASS KNOW BECAUSE THE WHITE OLD BITCH NEVER DID 5 MINUTES IN JAIL FOR ACCUSSING MR. TILL
Y’all are sad turning it into a race thing stupid fuck killed someone god judges that’s right but white, black, pink, or fuckin green you kill someone and your a thef mother fucker shouldnt even get out to die with his family he didn’t give the person he killed that fuckin chance why should he get better when his intentions weren’t of any good to begin with when he took a weapon out the door with his ass to commit a crime he was intenteding to fuckin use it it to bad it wasn’t on his dumb ass self instead of someine who was just out doing their J.O.B. a word you know people that are robbing don’t unerstand. Color has nothing on fucking killing an innocent person an eye for an eye he deserves to die in hell, like the family’s are doing of the man he killed or do you all forget the person he killed had a family change it to a race thing shows how dumb this shit has gotten. Just say your mom is working at a bank someone comes in of same color as her trys to rob her and then kills her you don’t get to see her come home to die she’s died and what do you want from the person who killed death comes to mind first and you can’t say it doesn’t why don’t Yall take the first steps and drop the race card already cause it’s getting fuckin old already to throw it into everything.
It was racial. He was a part of the B.L.A. Enough said.
That’s the problem now you blacks think that it’s ok to go out and kill armored money truck workers and kill police officers and expect ppl to just let you go now because you’re dying?! Y’all didn’t give a f about the ppl he killed or their families so why give a f about him because he’s now dying?! Y’all make me sick he should rot in that bitch and if any of you think it’s ok that he killed innocent ppl then y’all should be dying right along w them to see how it feels bunch of baboons that need to quit reproducing cut them all off at the head and make example’s out of ya
So it’s ok for White people to kill black people back in the day as slaves or in General but when the shoe on the other foot now it’s a problem huh 🤔🤷🏿♂️… IT’S NOT FUN WHEN THE RABBIT HAS THE GUN HUH 🤔
HAHAHA REALLY FUNNY, HOW ABOUT YOU QUIT REPRODUCING THAT HATRED YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART.
How many White bank robbers have there been who killed bank tellers, managers, security etc from the wild wild west to the present? Would you say this should apply to them also. Because when you talk then you have to acknowledge that same idea has to apply to them also. You failed to mention that while you were telling black people to drop the race disparity and injustices were faced with everyday not once in a while
Problem with your statement is you seem to think all white people are the same, can’t fight racism with racism but as usual you sheep follow the news narrative controlled and operated by the very ones you seek to blame..
I will pray for you and your ancestors your blue-eyed devils !
A rational perception has to be grounded in historical realities. When a country employed GENOCIDE against a people or nation and they fight back it could be referenced as war. The BLA and other soldiers used any means necessary to address the continued economic and physical attack on the #DOTKBA. It great to hear that you Negropeans and the lovers of Genocide believe that the perpetrators of murder, rape, stolen land, do not believe a sun set clause should exist.
Y’all sound ignorant….it is a race thing. As long as there is white privilege it will always be about race. I wish white ppl would suffer to the hands of all, just as they prey on all of mankind. To MAGA is to retaliate and punish white folk by all means….when they strike first.
Somebody play the world’s smallest violin for this terrorist fag!
Dude you sound ignorant AF
Fuck you
He was a murderer and if released any sooner would have continued. Cry me a river for his so called remorse. He deserves everything he got and has gotten and to be teased with a few minutes of freedom to die I’m glad and to the person who wrote it’s about the white folks being savage than your even more ignorant than the next person to blame it on race and maybe you need to go back to school and finish your education sounding so dumb.
The problem with the world is that no one has compassion for one another. Who are you to judge anyone. God forgives and so should you.
Both of you all sound ignorant not just the person that wrote the comment before you sound just as more ignorant as he does because there is a race thing going on if it was a white person that committed the crime there punishment would be a lot lighter than a Afro-American committing the crime clearly and you all act as if you don’t know that well you’re ignorant as f*** if you don’t think that it is a race thing it’s been a race thing ever since slavery and it has not letting up it’s gotten worse and you know it has but for you not to recognize it shows your ignorance. This is a sad country that we live in when everything boils down to race and politics we as black people can’t get around either one it’s always something ahead of trouble when it comes to black people white people you all act like y’all are so entitled and that’s not the case because you all are no entitled than we are but you all act as if you are because what has been displayed throughout the United States throughout this entire country from the beginning of time from slavery until now we’re just living in a different type of slavery where is controlled but it’s still slavery and you all are too ignorant to understand the fact. So all of the name called and saying that person is stupid nobody is stupid when they’re basing their own fact and opinion whether it’s fact or opinion is there personal thoughts and they’re entitled to them whether you like it or not. I don’t care if you like me or dislike me for what I just said but what I said wasn’t a lie. And I’m very intelligent make no mistake about it. And I am a Afro-American woman and a business owner and I don’t have my hand out for nothing so I could care less if you like me or don’t.
Funny how white people like u never feel that way about what you and your parents have and continue to do to Black people. This is exactly why your country is being overrun with immigrants, white mass shooters who kill white, and sexual deviants. On top of that god will continue to deny you Assata.
You’re not your. You’re sounding pretty dumb.
Well said sister I’m native American women and what your saying is so true thank you sister.
Not every white person is as you describe, I am a white man that the government has oppressed for my entire life, I feel your pain. I completely understand your struggle and respect it. I pray you don’t take me wrong, I said everything with the up most respect. Each one teach one! I leave as I came with Plenty Much Love!
I see you didn’t get a education either
So whst exactly is this big racial thought exactly that you think JUST white people have against every black guy. You all sound so stupid bickering over your damn skin color. If you cannot see that it is as simple as GOOD N EVIL and cannot get off your high horses thinking it has a damn thing to do with color mabey perhaps we can fix the actual problem at hand.. Evil folk run this planet they own media entrainment education and banks/mula all of which drive our shit ass society which in return teaches the majority to think however they want you too (brain washed). Regardless of skin color you cannot blame a single act one person committed and treat as if the whole race is the same. That is absolutely ludacris.
Are you serious, did you even read the article? It said that he was convicted of racketeering not murder. He was involved in a robbery in which unfortunately 3 people lost their lives. Is it fair that he was imprisoned for actions he didn’t commit. The sentence imposed was both political and racial in nature. He was a member of a black empowerment movement at a time when the government was making examples of anyone empowering black people in amerikkk. He could have been paroled at any given time, but the white power structure kept him in prison so he could not spread the message of black power and empowerment of the black community as a whole. J Edgar Hoover said that the black groups of that time were the greatest danger to amerikkk at that time. Don’t take my word for it look it up for yourself. Sadly most white people in this country seem to ignore the atrocities their ancestors caused settling this country. Slavery, killing the natives of this land, killing the Mexicans and then “buying ” the land they couldn’t take for far less than it was worth. A long history of criminals who now act high and mighty. Look at your history before you judge this man for his actions in life.
If you don’t like living in AMERICA then move the fuck out you ignorant nigger!!!
Fuck you nigger
You sir are an idiot! You’re big mad!! You resort to calling people racial slurs because you are too stupid to have an intellectual conversation… you sir are pathetic… and I say that with upmost disrespect..

It’s always black & white when it comes to jail sentencing!! Everybody knows that!!
This is all about justice.. don’t matter if you are rainbow or psychedelic.. the man is dying so let it be.. the choices 1-make in doing any crime.. don’t do it if you can’t do the time.
Right that’s true
