The US no dey play with their Tax o. They wan use am set example to other hollywood and celebrity tax-dodgers. Pele Snipes. You were one of my favourite hollywood stars. Hope you will come out and bounce back to make another US Marshals, Passenger 57, 7 seconds, Liberty stands still, Rising Sun, Blade trilogy, murder at 1600, etc. Please do not try to act 'Undisputed' in Jail inspite of your Karate skills because film na film nobi reality. I will miss you and your intelligent and extraordinary displays shaa for these three years. We dey wait. |

One of my favorite actors in Hollywood - this is sad. |

And the sad part about this is that he actually paid the $5 million dollars back. The judge was harsh to give him 3 years in jail even after he paid his debt. I think it is, because he was black. They did the same thing to Michael Vick. |

Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by jerryuzo(m): 2:41pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
nigeria should learn from this,because we have so called big men or rich people that doesn't pay their tax.we should enfored tax paying to every citizen that is due to pay tax.not focusing on civil or public servants to pay tax. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by 3kay945(m): 3:03pm On Dec 11, 2010 |

houvest: Bolded part, LMAO |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by Reference(m): 3:51pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Wow. Why didn't he do a passenger 57 and perhaps end up in Naija or show up in his blade costume complete with Samurai sword. Which marshal for fit touch am. Anyway what a pity. Though these laws are good you cannot but help thinking what the government stands to lose over the three years in potential tax returns from this guy when you consider the dire financial straits the US treasury faces. Like the over-the-top cuts in the UK, a repentant - by his own admission on 'Larry King Live' - tax dodger is a waste of prison resources. I would rather double his tax. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by Emmyk(m): 4:00pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
It might not really last for 3 years. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by buzugee(m): 4:10pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
some of you guys are ignorant. it is because he is black. all the white hollywood celebs who owed more in taxes were all given a slap on the wrist. an example will be willie nelson http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,318718,00.html , aaron carter, zsa zsa gabor, nicolas cage etc etc but having said that though, a white celeb has been locked up but only because she was unapologetic and said blatantly to the judge that 'only poor people pay taxes' that would be leona helmsley. so the point is that, as a white person, you really have to be a badazz unapologetic uncle sam hating tax dodger before they lock you up. as a black person, all you have to do is evade your taxes. does not matter if you are apologetic and pay the whole thing up. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by buzugee(m): 4:18pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
denony:he will be out in 2 3kay945:absolute bollocks. the law does not apply to white women or most white men. paris hilton and lindsey lohan would have been locked up for 20 years now had they being minorities. consuming drugs while driving, drinking and driving, escaping the scene of an accident, numerous drug possession charges, breaking the conditions of their suspended sentence, are just a few of their infarctions |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by ladej(m): 4:32pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
buzugee:5 cant disagree with this. add pete doherty to the list[ex boyfriend of kate moss], who has gone to court more times than ive gone to the loo, but still no jail time. i appreciate the cases and the gravity are different but u cant help wondering if one law exists for blacks and another for whites even in 2010. having said that snipes is guilty and must pay the time. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by Princek12(m): 4:44pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
ladej: I disagree to an extent. I think a black person with deep pockets, just like the aforementioned celebs, who hires a good lawyer, will probably get like treatment from those judges, for they are all considered petty state crimes. Wesley snipes violated several federal laws, such as willful failure to pay taxes, perjury, and so on. No one messes with the Internal Revenue Service, whether white or black. They will show you pepper. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by buzugee(m): 5:05pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Princek12:really ? can you explain why nicolas cage, aaron carter and willie nelson did not see any jail time ? and can you explain why plaxico burress is in jail for 3 years for a misdeameanor despite being a rich black man ? |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by buzugee(m): 5:08pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
ladej:pete docherty still raisin hell in england ?? . yeah different set of laws for blacks and whites in america. dunno bout england though. england is a very humane country. most judges in england usually dont slam down on minorities. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by JoeGaruba: 6:04pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Abeg make una leave inmate 57 alone jooor! |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by favouredjb(f): 7:11pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Am sure he ll be pardoned maybe after a year or two |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by blackcypha(m): 7:28pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
buzugee:yeah buzugee shows how well informed you are, let princek12 and 3kay945 tell us why the above mentioned pple have still not been jailed! Look the US as much as i like that society for upholding human rights to a large enviable extent, the white are still getting a fairly better treatment than blacks, period |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by ladej(m): 7:45pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
buzugee:hes actually done some time. 2 months here, a month here but his legal woes started close to 7 years ago ! and short of murder and rape hes done everythng else doable,. see here if u have NOTHING to do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Doherty |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by Yorubah(m): 8:10pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Another tactics of bringing a black man carrier to an end, have u ever seen a white dude been treated like this, US Sentimental |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by Nobody: 8:50pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
Firstly there IS a racial element to Snipes' treatment. Those who are not familiar with the US system should please zip it where it concerns racial justice in that country. Two, Snipes has been unlawfully jailed. There is no law in the United States requiring anybody to pay tax. |
Re: Actor Wesley Snipes Begins Serving Sentence At Pa. Prison (ap) by mamagee3(f): 9:37pm On Dec 11, 2010 |
What should we all do? He deserves the sentence he got, I mean he's a millionaire actor with a net income of $38 million annually, he could have paid his taxes instead he chose to spend his money on himself alone while fellow citizens that hardly make up to $100 thousand dollars pay theirs, he sat down and refused to pay his. Do the crime and serve the consequences, I ain't got time for debate. |
