Bell, who is black, didn't know Barron but decided to assault the first person he saw who wasn't African-American.


Expecting Obama to make a comment on "soul searching" about this incident at any time. Waiting, waiting, waiting ..........

Why are so many young black men incarcerated? Clearly we must engage in dialogue about our inherently racist justice system.

One supposes that “knock out king” was just not delivering instant gratification. This was where thugs would just cold cock an unsuspecting victim for ghoulish entertainment.

So why not move it up a notch and use a baseball bat? Sounds reasonable to me.

Anything he’d say about this would include an admonition for certain people to “get off their high horse”, possibly mixed with an appeal for bat control.

Which, in a sense, is the ‘perfect crime’ as to one can’t defend oneself from it - providing the ‘attacker’ turns around and walks away after hitting one once.

So if the dude knocks you down or stuns you with one punch and is walking away and you draw and shoot him, (according to whatever ‘code’ is being used today) chances are pretty good YOU will be charged as he (supposedly) defused the situation by walking away.

That idiot Mayor in Balmr got roasted for her ‘its only property’ remark, when - in effect - it has been that way for about 40 years....

Wasn’t so long ago that one was allowed to protect his property on his property - so the guy stealing your car out of your driveway was basically the same as being in your house, subject to the same ‘rules’... the ‘rules’ got changed to ‘why shoot the SOB when you can replace your car’, forgetting that may be your only way to get to work, the papers etc in the car were ‘gone forever’ but you would go to jail for popping the car thief.

IMNSHO, that was (along with LBJ) the beginning of the end - it emboldened thieves -

Believe in England even if you catch a perp in your house and assist him in assuming room temperature, you are likely to be charged with excessive force and/or be charged with OWNING a gun .....

It would be fun if the one receiving the sucker punch explained his shooting of the retreating attacker must be excused because of temporary diminished mental capacity due to the punch to the head.

So, can you predict whether the Latino population will begin to see that liberalism (with a favored class - blacks) is not an ideology which will further their best interests in pursuing the American dream?

**********

Listen troll — they are incarcerated because they have been committed crimes, most of which are black-on-black. They committed the crimes because they were raised with no work ethic and moral values. Contrast their behavior with that of the growing number of foreign-born black immigrants, who work hard, respect authority and their elders, and are grateful to be in the USA.

“Expecting Obama to make a comment on “soul searching” about this incident at any time?”..................

NEVER going to happen. (I usually say, “Never say never” but in this case, never means NEVER.)

Some people don't even possess one.

Barron was overheard to deprecate the writings of Hegel. For Bell, violence was the only recourse.

I tried some rather sarcastic remarks mixed with a little dark humor and boy was I bar-b-qued.
Some don’t see or don’t like the little zings.

55% of the latino population has a Mexican Dream, to extract as much money as possible while here illegally and go back home and live like kings.

= = = = = = = = = =
That’ll (probably) work...

I what? to the nice young man?
Sorry, I was stunned and my instincts kicked in. Did I hit ‘em?

Notice my tube already has the ‘new breed’ ambulance chaser on the tube looking for ‘victims’ of Police Brutality - down to the statement - If you had a relative the committed suicide while in custody, YOU TOO may be eligible for compensation..

Can’t really laugh - when the ‘chasers’ started hawking and advertising SS benefits for ‘disabilities’ caused by work or unemployment, come on in and we will get you something.

I wonder if I am ‘jealous’ of these clowns drawing 900 permo for migraines or some other such unprovable malady or upset that ‘we’ didn’t think of this before donating 60 or so years to the ‘work force’....now I am told I must ‘share’.

Like Judge Judy is known to opine ... I notice that the bad back or migraine didn’t stop you from having 6 kids (she used to throw in ‘that WE also support’) and JJ is an equal opportunity basher..she doesn’t care what your race, creed or color is, if she and/or Byrd are paying for YOU she will let you know....
