Wesley Snipes: Ocala a 'hotbed' for Ku Klux Klan activity

Actor Wesley Snipes is looking to move his tax-evasion trial from Ocala, calling it a "hotbed" for Ku Klux Klan activity.

[Joe]

I got this survey call! It was interesting.. Amazing the lengths he is going through.. Just pay your damn taxes!

[This is why]

There is no KKK in Ocala but it is full of good old boys in pick up trucks and that's why I might move there one day. This is a PRTown.

[Oh Please]

Get Real! Where does he want his trial held? Liberty City? OpaLocka? Eatonville? Reverse racism is getting worse in this country.

I want a transfer from my high school. I'm not receiving a fair education because I'm the only white person in the class. I'm expected to know more than the black guy sitting next to me, so the teacher never helps me. Where's MY lawyer???

Tax evasion is a crime, no matter what race you are. Pay your taxes, Wesley and quit playing the race card. Jesse and Al CAN'T help you with this one...even THEY wouldn't dare challenge the IRS.

[Carbon]

Not to mention a hotbed for vampires.

[HANGEM HIGH]

WHAT A RACIST STATEMENT. If Imus were to go on trial and said he wanted his case moved because the town was a hot bed of Black Panthers, Al and Jessie would be screaming !! Someone send me a copy of the "Blacks catalog of Double Standards"

[Justice to all]

I agree with Wesley.
He should get his trial moved... maybe to Orlando. There he will be convicted of tax evasion.

I couldn't agree more , he makes millions and doesn't want to pay his taxes ? Oh because he's black is a good reason to move the trial..ya right ! It doesn't matter where your found guilty if you are ...pay your taxes and quit your bitching ...

[Ridiculous]

Geez. And to think I used to like this guy's movies. Just pay your stupid taxes. It's not like you never made enough money.

Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You know it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool...

Ocala is nice.
If Wesley would have paid his taxes, there wouldn't be a problem

[Maitlandwatch]

He's a shining example for all Jones High alums.

[Oys]

Full of KKK and tax evaders apparently. <eye roll)

Wesley, buddy, GET OVER YOURSELF. Pay your damn taxes, like everybody else & you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I'd like to see Al & Jesse address this one.

[Goering]

Ocala is a "soft bed" for KKK activities. You got it all wrong Wesley Snipes.

New York city, Los Angeles, DC, Miami, Newark NJ are the "hot beds" for KKK activity.

Wesley stop whining and pay your god***m taxes.

[jables]

Wait wait wait...just because the guy is on trial for tax evasion makes this statement wrong? It isn't at all possible that, even if he is guilty of not paying his taxes, that Ocala still might be a hot bed of KKK activity? Boggles the mind how hateful some of you good ol boys are. Live and let live.

[Tommy]

wow...lol are you serious, there are ku klux klan everywhere, but what is the real reason you don't want to be in Ocala, plus you know all of that martial arts you could kick whitey's ass...

[Gloom and Doom]

Just let him pay the money he owes with interest, slap his hand and tell him to go and sin no more. This guy is not Al Capone.

[ccc3]

ROFL- if Ocala had a lot of white supremisists - he actually might have gotten a fair trial, they don't like to pay taxes either! LOL

Does this mean that if I get arrested in NY, I can petition to move my trial to Ocala so that it will be fair - since I am white?

[Perry Winkle]

Most of the folks I've seen around Ocala are retired working stiffs from up North. I'm thinking those folks would be a lot tougher on a tax cheat than anyone in the Klan.

The real story here should be about the group of lunatics who convinced Snipes and his business manager(s) that this scheme was legal.

[Perception]

Mr. Snipes lawyer did as he set out to do, even without offering any proof for his statement, he has has put the statement in the press. It's a win / win, if he can't prove the allegations are true, he can say beacause of what the press reported, I feel the people of Ocala will prejudge Mr. Snipes because of his racist beliefs.

[Rockwell]

ahhhh, the liberal hollywood elite. the media, fans, etc. all treat them like Gods & somewhere along the line they start to believe it. all one has to do is look at the crap that's called "movies" coming out of the left coast.

Pay the IRS and move on (dot org)
