Oh look, it's happened again.;

When will it stop? - sadandmad

Young man should NOT have been vadalizing cars. Don't know what he wsa thinking.

However, don't believe his crime warranted death.

Sorry for all parties involved. Life is precious.

I am sick of hearing this and I do not mean - the thugs that are dying

Maybe, just maybe if you would stop and realize how you should be acting, i.e. not out at 1:30 something in the morning trashing a car lot, taking a stolen car and ramming it through the front window of the dealership, learning how to get down and stay down when told to by the law, maybe then these deaths will stop. I have been stopped (and ticketed) by the police at least 5 or 6 times in the past. Never did I run my mouth nor try to literally run away. It was yes sir, no mam and I am still around, no issues. My husband drives for a living. He is one of DWB and he and his entire family never had an issue with the law. When black on black crime stops, especially the killings going on every single day then maybe I will listen more intently to stories but for now all I hear on our local news every single day of the week of the year are killings, shootings by, yep, you guessed it black on black. When it comes to a thug breaking and entering, jacking up another person in a store, stealing, rioting, shooting, you live by the sword, and you die how?

When you are told to STOP.... - me

or get on the ground - and you don't listen and keep doing what you're doing - you suffer the consequences. I have no sympathy for this kid or anyone else who doesn't follow the rules. That is what today's youth has evolved in to - thinking they can do what they want, when they want. All could have been avoided, just follow instructions.

To "Me" - consequences should not be death

[ In Reply To ..]
There is a thing in this country called the justice system, and BTW, the justice system IS NOT THE POLICE. People absolutely should suffer the consequences of breaking a law or not "following instructions. However, the consequences should not be punishment of death decided by a cop. These consequences should be decided by a judge or jury. When someone is shot IN THE BACK while running away, this presents a whole new set of problems for society in general, not just those who do not follow rules.

By way of your logic, if you had a son who did or did not commit a minor offense, got scared when the police showed up, he ran, and was shot IN THE BACK and killed because he did not follow a rule, this is your justice? People who lend themselves to your way of thinking are just as dangerous as the criminals themselves, or some cops who misuse their authority.

you choose your - actions

[ In Reply To ..]
and you accept the consequences. So simple even a habitual truant can understand.

Totally agree - SM

Follow instructions, or better yet stay the hell out of trouble to begin with. Sick to my stomach at hearing the boo-hoos about thugs creating their own crap. Worse yet, after the fact we hear from friends and family what a sweet guy it was.

Who said he was vandalizing cars? He crashed - through the window

[ In Reply To ..]
Could it have been an accident perhaps? Even if he were drunk driving, honestly, he had an accident, he did not hurt anyone.

Picture, if you will, your average frat boy doing something like that, a rich privileged white boy. Do you think the cops would have killed him, really? I don't.

He was jumping up and down on the cars, - showed window all bashed in

[ In Reply To ..]
Drove car through car dealership window. Yes, he was vandalizing and makes no difference, white, black or striped, no difference in my book at all. Privileged, phooey.

Okay, so everyone caught vandalizing a car - deserves to get shot and killed?

[ In Reply To ..]
That's what you're saying.

Again, I think had it been a nicely dressed white boy a) he would not have gotten shot and 2) if he had been there would be lawsuits and everyone up in arms about it because why did the cop shoot a minor vandal?

he definitely - should have been

[ In Reply To ..]
cradled in the officer's arms and soothed. Asked what was bothering him. If he stated rage at society, he should have been given a grant to attend medical school. Not shot. And a new car from the lot he was destroying. That would teach him to care for his things.

There is a difference here, you are right - because a nicely dressed white

[ In Reply To ..]
is very, very seldom caught jumping up and down on vehicles, vandalizing, shooting, killing another white boy, looting. On the other hand, just take a look anytime on any TV channel, local, national and see who does all the above. White boys? Nah.

Excuse me, this young man was not shooting or - killing anyone or looting

[ In Reply To ..]
And yes, I do believe rich white boys crash through windows and jump on cars, we just never hear about it because they don't get shot and their rich daddies shut it up. Sheesh.

A little perspective, please. Nobody expects any special treatment at all. Prosecute them for sure. Arrest them.

Just. don't. kill. them.

!!!

The end.

Not the end, I am from Missouri so show - me the numerous videos

[ In Reply To ..]
of white boys doing what the thugs are doing and then this will be the end. Your statement about their daddies paying for it is just ridiculous. You just cannot back up yours by videos but.... lets just count the videos with the blacks out there looting, rioting, killing, stealing, burning down their own businesses- how crazy is that- all in the name of honoring someone who was killed.

Okay let me just simplify - what I said

[ In Reply To ..]
Again, there would not be videos of white boys doing that stuff because they would NOT be killed!

These police videos are only coming out because these young black males are being KILLED - and we have to figure out what they were doing that caused their own deaths! Turns out, not a lot. Not good stuff MAYBE, but not deserving of death.

You can call them whatever you want. You can accuse them of whatever you want. You can arrest them and make examples of their bad behavior.

Just. stop. killing. them.

Video was from shop owner, not whites, not cops. - sm

My black neighbors walk by in the wee hours - of the morning walking their dogs

[ In Reply To ..]
picking up the trash, (some just can't seem to keep in their cars for some reason) and they wave and smile. They seem to be walking their dogs when everyone else is that goes to Work.

Maybe your neighborhood just puts people off for some reason.

From my husband hates to see blacks moving - in

[ In Reply To ..]
Yep, we used to see 1 of the black neighbors walking his dogs also in the neighborhood. Have not seen him lately, know what happened with his dogs. They were pits, got loose, attacked another neighbor almost killing her, long hospitalization, took off an ear, horrible attack and the dogs shot dead by the police. My husband and I used to hate seeing him and his pits out walking. At least don't have to see that anymore.

One of mine was was assistant fire chief - in town--he moved to a better neighborhood

[ In Reply To ..]
another was out walking his dog @10:00 at night and called the police because someone was breaking into another neighbor's house.

Stop with the stereotyping and trying to draw people into this.

Wait, I did see a black guy trying door handles on cars once, we called the police.

Oh, and there is the teenage white kid down the street that has been egging houses and paint-balling houses.

And another white kid down the street that broke out car windows with rocks.

I don't know who stole our gas can--mystery.

Hardly steotyping because I live outside of a huge - city and every single day

[ In Reply To ..]
I see what is happening on the news, killings, robberies, carjacking. Now do you think they single out the black folks just to be racist? I hardly ever see white folks, Hispanics, Asians out there creating havoc. I am not drawing people in and hopefully most cannot afford to buy where I live so we can keep our neighborhood nice.

And costing tax payers billions - Sick of it all

[ In Reply To ..]
Simply stated .. If you want to be treated like someone, ACT like someone.

Worked for the lawyer--saw it done - and no, there aren't any videos-surviving

[ In Reply To ..]

Some of this would be described as a "second chance," which I do not Entirely disagree with, but it is very hard to give a DEAD person a second chance.

Caught - being the operative word

[ In Reply To ..]
Just like white boys are not "caught" half as much with pot and the prisons are filled with black boys for this offense, when in reality white boys smoke pot more than black boys.

I honestly had no idea of the mindset of so many of my fellow MTs. This is sad.

What is said is that - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
So many blacks turn to a life of crime. That's what's sad. The tri-county area in which I live is literally becoming unbelievable. Each and every day on the news is a story of someone being shot and/or killed. Many days it is more than one shooting per county. God help me if you don't like the truth, but about 99% of the time they are black. Just recently there was a drive-by shooting AGAIN where a little 2-year old got shot. Facts are facts. I didn't make them, and likewise I won't lie about them either.

You're description would be a FRAT boy - and it would be a drunken prank

[ In Reply To ..]
and everyone would have elbowed each other, made some private phone calls, the lawyers pow-wow to figure out how not to ruin the poor young man's life, "let's just make it a misdemeanor, I'll pay for any damages (says the father)." He obviously just had a little too much, you know, he's so excited about that football career he's got coming up. Go Panthers (or whatever all so important team mascot).

Or maybe they will just blame the frat as a hazing incident and deflect it entirely...now it's not even the poor nicely dressed white guy's fault!

All white guys are rich? - Tired of hearing that, too

[ In Reply To ..]
Yeah, and all of us whites had it good, huh? Never had to work for a penny, daddy would bail us out in a hearbeat, huh? As usual, blacks refuse to take responsibility for their behavior. Where are all these rich white people? Guess my family never met any. Every member of my family worked hard each and every day of their lives to have what they have. And speaking of daddy bailing whites out, all my dad had to do was look over the top of his glasses at us and we got in line. Wonderful dad who wanted and demanded respect. He taught us out of his love what we should act like. Thank God for my dad and others like him. We didn't have any money at all, but we learned respect for other people and their property.

Wondering why you - think

[ In Reply To ..]
these individuals do not have the capacity to foresee big trouble from their actions yet still do them. Is that not the soft bigotry of low expectations?

Well, that should just stop all this nonsense - then, is that correct?

[ In Reply To ..]
Just saw the latest video on the young male shot and critically wounded the other night in Missouri. The family charged police brutality, he had no gun. The video shows different. Firing one policeman does nothing to stop the thugs on the streets, excuse me sqreets.

The police chief was killed in January of this year but the story just came out yesterday. It would be wise to keep the pressure up on this gun-running scandal since more people are being killed in Mexico every day and there have been some incidences of murder in the border states, especially AZ and TX. This also is the reason why Immigration Reform should NOT be done until border security is done FIRST. The below story was found on one site called Power Line but the more involved story is ...

Houston has become the largest US city to elect an openly gay mayor.

In reading arguments for and against, perhaps it is true that the persons responsible and or involved in any way should be fired, jailed, labeled as sex offenders, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, and the football program should remain intact, as it is not fair to punish the ...
