You're absolutely right but it still doesn't excuse the government from going all out of their way for a such a minor fish. Hell they paid the informant 50k for a man they knew wasn't pushing any drugs.I've said for years I've thought Buju was an ediot for getting caught up in this. And will always say that he wasn't doing this.
Any person, from the streets, knows ain't no one walking up to you and just discussing shit. Especially as a person as famous as you are, you have to be a super ediot.
I'd sit next to the person on the plane and be like "yeah? Cool story bro, you think they serve food on this flight?"
