...Monday, someone famous said, “It’s for all the marbles. Sitting in the house, I’m loadin’ up the pump. I’m loadin’ up the Uzi. I got a couple M-16s, a couple 9s. I got a couple joints with some silencers on them. I’m just loading clips, a couple grenades. I got a missile launcher with a couple of missiles. I’m ready...
Marianne Moore said poetry is a world of "imaginary gardens with real toads in them." Shakur's poetry, spitting out violent imagery with an oracular tinge, was a summary and prophecy of his own brief life: an imaginary Uzi with real bullets. In his work, poignant portraits of ghetto misery (the brilliantly elegiac Brenda's Got a Baby) collided with cop-baiting insurrectionism ("Can't find peace on the streets/til the niggaz get a piece, f___ police, hear them screamin...
Charlton Heston probably won't like him either. In The Terminator Schwarzenegger goes into a gun store and picks out a "12gauge auto loader, a .45 long slide, a phase plasma rifle and an Uzi 9 mm."

Although Britain's inner cities are not nearly as violent as America...
...befits India's dirty Harry, Inspector Pradeep Sharma has a taste for lethal one-liners. Asked how he polices Bombay's gangland, he slams a clip into a confiscated Uzi submachine gun and growls, "A bullet for a bullet." When a group of burly officers begins to work over a pair of reluctant informers handcuffed to a fridge in the station house, he explains, "It's the only language they understand." But Sharma saves his best material to explicate why he does what he does. He leans back in his chair, assumes a deadeyed stare and snarls, "Criminals are filth...
