Slain teen Ja'Quares Walker's mom in shock at shooting

Yep, IF I ever see a Ja’Quares at the top of a resume...in the trash can it goes! *Swish!*

(Same for anyone named LaShayshawndra, Dequender, Damika Lashundra, Demarius, Demarae, Dayshaun et al.)

Thankfully I’ve never had to, as the jobs that I fill require education, skills, degrees and licensure...something, frankly, these people tend to lack.

Thanks for your post...

***********

Skin tone of shooter not described. I hope this does not turn into another Trayvon Martin case.

***********

Given the evidence that seems to be "in plain sight"--
That this young man was committing a felony while using a [cocked/loaded] firearm...

AND...
The mother's reflection on her son's life and tragic passing...

Seems plainly -- this was a necessary use of force in self-defense--
(as was Zimmerman's use of force against T_Martin--IMO)

That doesn't make it any less sad for the family...
Or for the city in matter of fact--
This young man had a lot going for him.... still in school, etc.

Anyone who attempts to fan the flames of racial division with THIS Birmingham case....
It will tell us a lot more about their publicity-pimp motives...
--than the purported "racism" of the self-defense shooter.

Just my humble....

And the mom -- yelling from the house does not constitute watching your children and knowing where they are going and with whom. If you don't know the people that just rolled up to take your *13* year old kid somewhere, get your ass out to the curb and find out. Sheesh.

Why am I picturing a 400-pound mass of laziness?

I wonder if those boys he was with will go to Ja’Quares’ funeral, or if they look at him as just another expendible piece of cannon fodder for the gang.

This was FReeped yesterday.

 

And nowhere have I read that Little Tez lived at home with his biological mother and father, who are, of course, married to each other.

 

And this is the key to the survival of the black race. Want to stop little Trayvons and Jaquarez's from being killed?

 

It's pretty simple really. But it's a white thing. They would'nt understand

You forgot "Dammsha'ame"

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Looks a bit like English for ”Jacks Cars”.

Irony.

Gang initiation.

Or he was already initiated. Lots of times, a gang will let the youngest member have the gun, since he's least likely to do hard time. I would guess the plan was to have Ja’Quares do the actual robbery, while the friends would have handled fencing the loot.

Found this in another forum says the shooter is white.

There's a lesson to be learned from this photo:

Put the phone down when you're committing armed robbery. The guy you're trying to rob may take advantage of the distraction.

Need I say it? Darwin Award winner.

I assume these people can read and write.

 

(OK, I assume to much!)

 

Maybe they ment to issue this trubute in ebonics....

 

 

Keepin' it real - yo.

I posted the Alabama murder statute in #14. Please read carefully and comment on its applicability to the present case.

“It’s like he’s still here, and I feel him **holding me up**,”

Why? Does she imagine her little "angel" is also pointing a gun in her face?

[expat1000]

Technically, I’m curious exactly how this went down. Where did the driver have his piece? Was the window open and if so, why? Did he shoot through the window?

I have to think the driver had his weapon out already by the time the kid got to the car window...

NOT MY CHILE!!

God gave him free will, and he used that gift unwisely.

Hey, cut Mom a break, she’s another one of those African-American Scrabble champions.

Mom is behaving better than most under these circumstances. She just lost her child and deserves a modicum of slack. As for the boy being out at 11 PM at night, it was a Friday night playing in the front yard. Mom was there and asked where he was going so it wasn't unsupervised. A middle-school kid, caught up by the peer influences in a Black culture destroyed by The Great Society. No doubt some sort of gang initiation. The story also says he lived with his parents, emphasis on the plural.

It is hard enough raising a teenager these days, I thank God that I am not trying to do it in the Black community. Talk about a stacked deck. A prayer for that mom.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well if the shooter is white, and he was defending himself against a hold up, will the liberals be able to use this case to charge that we are a racist society and all that????

If they try to take this and make a Trayvon Martin case out of it, it would prove that it’s all about political correctness and making political statements.

How much do liberals care that a 13 year old boy is dead?
