Edwards’ Sister: He’s Not Vicious, He Just Likes to Fight, and He’s Not in a Gang...

The sister of alleged teen killer of the Australian baseball player, James Edwards, Rachel Padilla, appeared on CNN tonight. She gives off a strong whiff of denial.

I knew he had a Facebook page, but I never looked at it. And it’s hard to believe that he will be–that he would even put things on there like that.

CNN host Erin Burnett had read Padilla some of Edwards’ more offensive posts, and tweets.

In terms of speculation about Edwards’ “racial” motivation for committing the alleged crime, Padilla said “I know that he has a lot of caucasian friends with whom he hangs with, and the only way that I would feel that he would say anything racist about anybody is because we have felt racism from some of the people here in the community.” Given that Edwards is not believed to be the one who pulled the trigger, Padilla said she doesn’t know why he has been “charged with first-degree murder when he wasn’t the one who shot and killed the guy.”
Padilla admitted that her brother had been in trouble for fighting in the past, but maintained that he’s “never been a vicious person” and she doesn’t “feel in my heart that he would go to such extents to take an innocent life.”

He just liked to threaten to kill people on social networks.

She said as far as she knew, he was not associated with any gangs, but she did say he “hung around older people that were affiliated with gangs.”

If you’re a teenager and you hang around with older people who are in gangs, you usually end up in a gang, in prison, or dead. Or on a progression that includes all three.

One gets the impression that James Johnson, whose son was threatened by the trio that allegedly killed Chris Lane, is right: Edwards had no parental supervision. His family had very little idea of what their 15 year old was up to.

First St. Trays GF, now this.

I thought stupid people as entertainment was a Jerry Springer thing.

Someone should measure the collective IO as best possible of these idiots then send Al, Jessie and the dDepartment of Education the results along with a ‘sternly worded letter”
Consisting of words describing a self inflicted but impossible act.

I knew he had a Facebook page, but I never looked at it.

In my part of the world, every mother and aunt and grandmother reads all their relatives Facebook pages. The big thing with my family is to tell somebody something in confidence and ask the person to "not Facebook it."

This sister and her family just let the world raise her brother and then never kept tabs on him, and then when he murders somebody in cold blood they are all surprised.

She and her family should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

So here is the causal chain of tragedy and murder:

* Suspended from school, one Trayvon Martin trained in Mixed Martial Arts attempts to beat a ‘cracker’ watchman to death and gets killed as his victim shoots him in self-defense.

* The national news networks and the democrat political establishment including Barack Obama chime in on photos of young Trayvon innocently walking to buy some candy which is circumstantially found to be an ingredient that Trayvon used for ‘Purple Drank’ a cheap form of a recreational drug known as ecstasy.

* The race-baiters snap to and start a national campaign of ‘justice’ concerning racial violence by whites on young black kids, and to this day the followers of that story line believe that anyone that attempts to discredit poor Trayvon are racists.

* Young bored blacks pass among themselves images and themes of the martyrdom of Trayvon and vow to take revenge.

* 3 murders occur within days of each other of young black on white murders and the national news networks barely make mention with Barack Obama giving it a few mumbled words of nothingness.

My sense that the original newscasters, pols and social race-baiters that created the myth of Trayvon should be hauled before the court on charges of inciting to riot, murder, fomenting social unrest and disturbing the peace.

And that poor families of the victims should be awarded a minumum of $100 million each in restitution from the imbeciles that created or abetted in creating, promulgating and sustaining the myth starting with the national news outlets aka the MSM aka the democrat mouth organs.

That’s my idea of justice.
