You can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the boy.

Damn good Texas-style shooting I might add! 2 for 2 and maybe another lying somewhere bleeding to death.

Just goes to show: It only takes one moment of stupidity to wreck what might have been a promising life. Sad, but predictable.

Clarence Nevels, a former coach, family friend and mentor to the Howard Bison running back, told the Record-Chronicle that Tusan was a "good kid."

This "good kid" just happened to be in a place he didn't belong wearing a mask and having a gun. If he had been killed by a white cop, who subsequently was exonerated by a grand jury, all hell would have broken loose.

Oh my not more racism. When when when are we going to allow our black children to commit crimes in peace?

Well, his mother said he had to do some more Christmas shopping. I think she misheard him...he probably said Christmas robbing.

“..attempting to break into a Texas apartment.”

It was a home invasion robbery and possibly more and the perps got inside. Glad the residents are safe.

Just what is it with black kids who seem to have it all, then their inner thug gets them killed? Was he ashamed of himself for “acting too white”? How is it their parents, friends and coaches are always fooled? Or is the definition of a “good kid” in black families one who hasn’t yet committed a capital offense?

GOOD for the shooter...ahhhhh but he was such a “good kid”.

What will zero and holder say about this, and, throw in that ba$tard mayor of NYC.

Will there be riots and businesses ravaged now, the creeps will go out and break windows for cigars and tv’s

"You have to wonder, what would be the purpose to throw his life away?"

There is no purpose, he's just another statistic who bought into the propaganda shoved down the throat of the black community everyday by Democrats.

The apartment they were invading was located in a student apartment complex. Guessing they may have known the person they were robbing or settling a personal beef.

These stories write themselves:

This must be a mistake, he wasn’t like that.

That's not the boy we know.

He was a good boy.

He was turning his life around.

All the children and old ladies on the street loved him.

He was good to his momma.

"He had good grades and was just down at AT&T Stadium for Thanksgiving Day Madness Youth Football speaking to students about believing in themselves,"

Well, we can see how that worked out. Somebody needs to teach them about believing in and fearing God.
