New ESPN 30 for 30 Documentary Makes Me Again Wonder If Pac Could of Survived That "Night In Vegas"

New 30 for 30 ESPN documentary on 2pac's murder in Vegas makes me once again wonder if Pac could have survived his gun shots if given more time, check the facts...

- Pac was given a 50% chance of surviving

- 2pac had passed the critical care stage of his treatment
...
- Pac actually had to be sedated because he WAS TRYING TO CLIMB OUT OF HIS BED AND THEY HAD TO PREVENT HIM FROM CLIMBING OUT OF BED AND HURTING HIMSELF!

- 2pac's brother Mopreme says in an interview on the 30 for 30 Night In Vegas theory that when he visited Pac in the emergency room in Vegas that Pac was "looking at him", "shaking the bed", "trying to tell him something but couldn't because of the tubes all in his mouth", that he was "still strong" that it gave him a good feeling that Pac was "still fightin"

- The main problem was internal bleeding in the lung. It was first thought that they could drain the bleeding and that this problem should be solved handily. But the bleeding continued.

- When the bleeding continued, they then thought that they could just remove the lung, therefore the bullet and wound would be removed completely and thus he was given a strong chance of surviving after such a procedure.

- His lung was removed, yet there was still internal bleeding. They couldn't find the source. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THEY WERE NEVER GOING TO FIND THE SOURCE. It just means they had NOT YET found the source of the bleeding.

- His kidney was failing so they were going to put hiim on dialysis, but whenever they would try to hook him up, his heart would stop, and they were able to resuscitate him successfully the two times it happened. But when Afeni heard this she felt Pac was suffering too much and told the doctors "No, don't do my baby like that, let hiim go". (This is also recently revealed in the 30 for 30 ESPN documentary in an interview with Afeni's sister who was there when this happened)

...Could 2pac have possibly survived?

Omar Ibn Said

"Muslims comprised upward of 20 percent of African slaves brought to the United States, and like Said, a number of them impressed white Southerners with their proficiency in Arabic and their desire to maintain their observance of Islam’s requirement of five daily prayers. Both of these traits humanized them in the eyes of their owners—sometimes sufficiently to lead the owners to infer they were Arabs or noble Africans deserving of better treatment than other slaves."

The above excerpt is from Saudi Aramco's article on Omar Ibn Said. I find it fascinating that in that time, the most fundamental act of a Muslim, the prayer, served to "humanize" the slave in the eyes of the slave master... A slave master who's prejudices were so great, that they saw African's as sub-humans.

I also find fascinating the connections between Omar Said and other famous African American slaves, such as Abdul-Rahman (the Guinean Prince who was made slave in America) and Lamine Kebe. The Saudi Aramco article explains their relationship as Muslims who held onto their Islamic faith through the most threatening of circumstances, often bargaining and playing an in-between game with the Christians, only to profess their Islam once more upon gaining their freedom...

"To bolster his point, Alryyes points to two Muslim slaves who won back their freedom. Born in what is now central Guinea, Ibrahim Abd ar-Rahman was repatriated after 40 years of slavery, thanks to diplomatic intervention by Morocco. When he returned to African soil in 1829, he renounced his conversion to Christianity. Similarly, in 1836 Lamine Kebe, who was a teacher in Guinea before enduring 30 years of slavery, reclaimed his Muslim roots after sailing to Liberia with the help of the American Colonization Society.

It is thanks in part to Kebe that we have Said’s words today: After Kebe received his freedom in 1834, but before his departure to Liberia, Said sent him the manuscript of his autobiography. Kebe passed it on to an abolitionist named Theodore Dwight. Since then, it has been translated three times, most recently in 2000 by Alryyes."
