I’m 73 and disabled. I get around with a “HurryCane” (as seen on TV). My daughter does Crossfit and has three deployments to Afghanistan under her belt. With her fitness and my cane, I think we could’ve given a good account of ourselves.
That is absolutely true. In bad neighborhoods of Brooklyn or Queens, there is no law. There is only what people think they can get away with. I don't go to bad neighborhoods at night. Bad enough I have to enter bad neighborhoods to work at their schools full of thugs during the day. If I had a nickel for every threat I've received from these thugs masquerading as students, I'd exceed the current lottery winnings.
I’m saying the preponderance of evidence is there; there’s a dearth of decent black fathers in this nation.
Thanks for clarifying your position.
For the rest of her life she will remember bthat her father left her.
Well, if you consider his daughter:
For the rest of her life knows the one man in her life who can always be trusted to protect her ...CANNOT be trusted to protect her, on top of the rape trauma.
The father knows that his daughter has to live with both of those memories and so does he...
I don’t see actual death as a worse option than a living one.
Father of the year.
I’m not taking his side, but what could he do if he wasn’t armed? I don’t get that part. If he tried to defend her, they would have shot him dead and then, he would have been no use to her at all.
I’m really trying to understand. A black thug is pointing a gun at your head. What can you do (assuming you’re not James Bond or Superman)? One step in the guy’s direction and you’re a goner and you’ve accomplished nothing to help your daughter. Honor and courage are fine things, but choosing the smartest way of actually rendering effective assistance is better. Maybe the guy in this situation thought he had a really good chance of locating assistance very close by, in time to prevent the worst from happening or at least minimizing the harm done.
But hey according to Obama regular folk like us don’t need guns..gee if this father had a GUN he would have been able to save his daughter from being GANG RAPED by 5 black thugs(Let me guess, they were turning their lives around, going to church, any pictures of them wearing their cap and gowns?)
I don’t think that the father killing himself is going to help his daughter. Her life is not over. What are you going to suggest next, an honor killing like the Muslims do?
It is a sad, tragic event. Do I question the father’s decision like most here on this forum? Yes. But suggesting he kill himself puts you in the same category as the Muslims. Suggesting he go vigilante would make more sense than suicide. It couldn’t undo what happened but might bring justice where it is absent.
“I would not live in NYC.”
I’ve wondered how People That Matter live there, and they assure me there are nice areas. The problem is the Mau Maus are a subway ride away...
i do.
Yeah, and what did it get his daughter? She was gang raped. She is scarred for life.
You ask “What can you do?” You fight! You try to knock the gun away. You start yelling like a f***ing mad man and YOU ATTACK the SOB! You do ANYTHING you have to do to protect your daughter.
My God. That you even have to ask the question speaks volumes about what we’ve become as a nation.
I’m no hero, and I hope I’d have the guts to die with my boots on, but I think people try to see the best possible outcome (in this case, that the father would return with help on time). If people were familiar with the details of the Wichita Massacre, they would more likely have the “Let’s roll!” attitude; there is a very good chance (especially if there is a racial angle involved), that there will be horrific brutality involved - and any survivor would wish they had died.
