A Bryan County jury found McNeal guilty of the 2005 murder of 47-year-old Ellabell man Michael Taranovich.

"It appears the police and courts have again used skin color as their most significant piece of evidence in the conviction of our brother, George Cecil McNeal. Dog!" Thief spit. "They are the children of their fathers! Never expect justice from them! Never expect righteousness from them! Only know that while once upon a time God made his light fall on the just as well as the unjust all the same. These days His light burns the skin of the unjust. Praise the Lord and curse the law!" He slammed.

According to St. Thief, the conviction against McNeal follows a pattern of cases in Georgia where the State has successfully prosecuted black defendants on flimsy, irrelevant and circumstantial evidence. "In this case," Thief said, " The alleged accusor's were crack or weed heads. Yet the court chose to believe their version of how the shooting happened as opposed to the black man's. Bryan and Savannah whites have leaves, but bear no fruit. When I pass by dry to the root."

Last week, in the wake of the illegal conviction Knoxville, Tennessee's Eric Boyd, the first of the popular group of alleged carjackers who have been dubbed the Knoxville5, Thief, along with reportedly over 100 Knoxville blacks, invoked the ancient curse of the Fig Tree upon the city.

Some local black Savannah and Bryan residents are now asking whether he'll invoke the curse in their cities too.
"Savannah and Bryan both need to be cursed," one Savannah resident said. "I'll participate in either event or even if he wants to curse the whole state."

Thief did not respond to questions on how long he'd visit the cities or whether he'd assemble groups and invoke the Fig Tree or some similar curse against them.

MCNEAL EARNS GHETTO BLACK MALE FELON BRAGGING RIGHTS

On the heels of his conviction, George Cecil McNeal has become the first brother from the Savannah area to compete for the Ghetto Bragging Rights' Sexiest & Hardest Ghetto Black Male Felon Bragging Rights competition.

"This is exciting," said new Ghetto Bragging Rights editor Julius Perkins. "But I don't think he can topple Michael 'Slavery Avenger' Thorpe from his top seat. Thorpe has led the competition now for over a year and a half; and, support for him is continues to grow."
