**************************************
What the hell is going through the mind of a 72-year-old Don Cornelius getting arrested on domestic violence?
Now, we don't know if he beat his young white woman to an inch of her life or what happened in that house. The courts will sort it out on November 14, 2008.
It's just an incredibility embarrassing pitiful situation.
And at 72 years old you'd think all a person would want is some peace and tranquility in their life not high drama and sheer chaos!
This was a Black Fist Entertainment Report.
