Does something in black culture prevent impulse control? That’s not a racist question, but rather an observed fact in reports like this. Facts really don’t care if you like them or not...they are what they are.

This is that Dangerous Dummy type who will try to burn his ex girlfriend’s house down after she breaks up with him because he had been threatening and mistreating her.
He thinks for someone to hold him accountable for his actions equals an insult that must be challenged with even more threatening behavior.

His defense is that in LA a brick is not considered a lethal weapon. The Rodney King riot juries decided that bricks were not weapons.

I agree with all that except burning his ex girlfriend’s house down.....these days black boys just jump right to setting the female herself on fire.

Well, if one wants to split hairs, Insta-Burger King opened in JAX in 1953, but was bought out in 1954, relocated to Miami, and renamed Burger King. Sort of like the official McDonalds line is that Ray Kroc “Founded” McDonalds in 1955 in Chicago... Little, if any mention of the McDonald Brothers in San Bernadino.
