jerry pdx Diana Ross once said: "Blacks always come out on top in music or sports because you know, we all got rhythm" She forgot to include murder, rape, serial killing and....burglary! Black 64 yr. old serial burglar Melvin Tillman has been convicted 43 times in his life and was first arrested 50 yrs. ago at the tender age of 14. His life has been spent in and out of prison and building up a resume as possibly the most prolific serial burglar ever in Portland. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/06/portland-man-earns-his-43rd-burglary-conviction-says-he-doesnt-remember-kicking-in-doors-shattering-windows.html
Excerpt from the article:
“I’ve been a prosecutor here for 12 years and I’ve never seen a defendant with a criminal history as extensive in the property offender realm as Mr. Tillman’s,” said Deputy District Attorney Christopher Shull.
Tillman says he is "afraid of dying in prison". At his age and with a 6 yr. sentence it's a very strong possibility, hopefully he won't get out again to resume his chosen career. Wonder how many times he told a judge that he was just beginning to turn his life around?
It was a great one.1967 was a great year creatively,in entertainment,movies,music and TV--I partly remember it and then later became a fan of that year--more than just about any other. --GRA
Jerry PDX,time for Lesta Holt and Kim Kardashian to get another deserving black prisoner (Tillman)out (I'm kidding).Trump will pardon him if KK says so and rubs Trump's neck though and stands real close. --GRA
