Sad story. I wonder how poor Elliot came up with the money to buy those rims?

These baubles appeal to barbarians.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Everything about this neighborhood, and it’s indigents, sounds repulsive.

This is a uniquely black culture thing - And everything about it (And this article.. I mean .. “Quanell X”? ) only serves to damn the populace at large.

Do we have a Phat Rimz pinglist ?

[Lurker]

“They have created an adverse culture of killing,” said community activist Quanell X.

No Quanell, it's not the rims which have created that culture. But you know that.

[Soothesayer]

These brave citizens are just fighting for their entitled right to expensive car rims...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Not to mention the Vogues.

[bgill]

First it was shoes and now it’s rims. Next they’ll be yanking out their gold teeth. But this is Houston.

“DeAndre”?

“The police will never admit it, but if they want to catch young black men with guns, they'll stop a car with elbows and Vogues because they know the young men will have guns,” Quanell X said.

Interesting tidbit from the article.

[Notwithstanding]

Now this is an issue the President might be capable of addressing.

Oh, wait. He doesn’t have street cred, either.

As fine a fella as one would ever hope to meet.

As long as you're not white.

A quote from Mr. X:

"[i]f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If you’re angry that our brother is put to death, don’t burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb."

A fine fella, what?

Must be Amish.

***I wonder how poor Elliot came up with the money to buy those rims?***

From his 2, maybe 3 baby mommas who get monthly welfare checks. So, you and I paid for those rims.

[Oldpuppymax]

But naturally they won’t describe “which” people.

[Sudetenland]

Who cares? Let the dumb s^&*(^&(&*itches kill each other off.

I wonder how many of those who are "strapped" have obeyed the law and gotten a CHL. . . . There's a reason for profiling.

[tacticalogic]

The title is misleading. It should be:

"People So Screwed Up They'll Kill for Car Rims"

[ASOC]

LOL

Chris Rock has a bit on rims. I cannot repeat any of his profanity laced diatribes, but that bit is funny.

The things you sometimes hear on airport TVs. would make a sailor blush....

[Repeat Offender]

Sorry we gave you the wheel Quanell, isn’t there anything thugs won’t F-up?
