FOX6's A.J. Bayatpour spoke with Smith's father, Patrick on Sunday. He had this to say in the wake of the shooting of his son by Milwaukee police and the violence that followed:

“What are we gonna do now? Everyone playing their part in this city, blaming the white guy or whatever, and we know what they’re doing. Like, already I feel like they should have never OK'd guns in Wisconsin. They already know what our black youth was doing anyway. These young kids gotta realize this is all a game with them. Like they’re playing Monopoly. You young kids falling into their world, what they want you to do. Everything you do is programmed. I had to blame myself for a lot of things too because your hero is your dad and I played a very big part in my family’s role model for them. Being on the street, doing things of the street life: Entertaining, drug dealing and pimping and they’re looking at their dad like 'he’s doing all these things.' I got out of jail two months ago, but I’ve been going back and forth in jail and they see those things so I’d like to apologize to my kids because this is the role model they look up to. When they see the wrong role model, this is what you get. They got us killing each other and when they even OK'd them pistols and they OK'd a reason to kill us too. Now somebody got killed reaching for his wallet, but now they can say he got a gun on him and they reached for it. And that’s

Court records show in February of 2015, Smith was charged with one felony count of first degree recklessly endangering safety and one misdemeanor count of possession of THC. The charges were dismissed by prosecutors in November.

August of 2015, Smith was charged with felony intimidation of a witness/person charged/felony. That charge was dismissed by prosecutors in September.

In July of 2014, Smith was charged with carrying a concealed weapon — a misdemeanor charge. He pleaded guilty in November, and was sentenced to serve one day in the House of Correction.

In July of 2013, Smith was charged with felony retail theft — intentionally taking $500 to $5,000 as party to a crime. Prosecutors dismissed the charge in October.

Broken homes, broken family, broken society. Empowered by the welfare state.

“....I feel like they should have never OK’d guns in Wisconsin.” What’s that supposed to mean? Sorry that your son took such a crappy path.

You're right.

Black men for the most part do not feel any responsibility for the care and character of their children. This is increasingly becoming true with white and Hispanic fathers as well.

Fathers no longer teach their daughters to insist on marriage before sex. And free sex is pushed by Hollywood entertainment monopoly.

If I had it to do over their wood be no TV in my household and no video games. These things are of the devil and I mean this literally.

They lead to moral decay and lethargy.

Unless you are going to be a TV dictator it is best if you keep the TV out of your home as a parent.

Such a sad, sad situation going on in our inner-cities.

Besides personal responsibility which too many lack, the democrat party is responsible for keeping them on the "plantation" and caring not except for their votes.

When I saw those vermin going around last night looting stores and burning buildings, it made me sad because I see, this is what the Dems want..to keep these people stupid, to control them so they always vote Democrat..I mean look at them, going around with no shirt and their pants down to their knees, stealing Coca Cola and Fritos..that is all they cared about, not getting a JOB, not making their lives better, but to steal soda and chips

My oldest daughter has graduated college and is a school teacher, and my youngest a senior in college. Good parenting can still yield good kids.

No doubt true, but fighting popular culture makes it harder

When I was young it was a different story. Most of popular culture was still Christian and pro-family.

Today popular culture is anti-family and even worse anti-father.

The last thing a father needs to bring in to his home is this toxic popular culture. His children will get enough of that outside the home.

Look at all the dismissed charges. This guy had to be a CI, confidential informant.

He serves one day for a concealed weapon? Seriously?

My son got 30 days in jail for breaking a protection order. He is mentally impaired, low IQ and people take advantage of him, namely women. This girl put a PPO on him because he wouldn’t give her money from his disability check for drugs. Then she calls him and baits him into calling her; thus breaking the PPO. He goes to jail.

This is just crazy.

1. The uneducated in America apparently have no concept of Contitutional rights — they’re taught or bring with them the idea that government can turn on or off rights in the same sense that SNAP or Medicaid is approved or denied — administratively and by rules that proves aren’t intended to understand.

2. A common meme among the families of professional criminals is that the criminal class will always do as they please, and it’s somehow the fault of everyone else (police, citizens) if they have the temerity to defend themselves.

Smith was shot six times in a previous shooting...........

His mother, Mildred Haynes, told the Journal Sentinel, “My son is gone due to the police killing my son. I am lost.”

Excellent post. I agree with your next post as well, that these things are prime tools the devil tries to utilize. The TeeVee pipes the anti-Christian immorality directly into these folks homes. Glamorizes all that you mentioned. The young are particularly impressionable, but even adults are not immune, as evidenced by how they are seemingly hypnotized into believing all the propaganda the ‘media’ puts out.

“Wrong roll model”

Really; a policeman shooting a perp with a weapon in his hand is the wrong roll model ..??

Actually, the policeman could not allow the perp to leave the scene with a weapon .. because it is assumed by the policeman that the person intends to use the weapon somewhere, on someone.

This father’s ramblings is part of the problem. Why didn’t he teach his son not to play with guns in the first place; and why didn’t he teach his son to have respect for police authority .. especially when they stop you. If the kid had dropped the gun when the police told him to .. he would still be alive.

It isn’t the police who have the problem ..??
