Riot police were on the scene in a Pasadena neighborhood Sunday afternoon as a planned protest teetered on the brink of mayhem.

Quanell X and his followers planned to meet in front of the home of Joe Horn, the man who shot and killed two suspected burglars at his neighbor’s home last month, in the 7400 block of Timberline for a protest around 3 p.m.

But they were met with an even larger group of protesters in support of Horn’s actions.

He is the neighborhood King, the tenth of his line in 4 years. Royalty doesn’t hold up too good in the ‘hood.

Pasadena used to be the repository of Houston’s slums. Back in the 70s Houston had no zoning. Contiguous Pasadena had pretty strict zoning. Houston had no slums. Pasadena had slums.

return an indictment for homocide

That's the first I have heard about the burglars being "gay."

Afer all the shouting and noisemaking is done, Mr. Horn and his neighbors will live in a safer neighborhood. It would be a good time for men in other neighborhoods to clean their shotguns on tables set up on their front lawns.

Time for a timely “Quote from Quanell” Some may have forgotten…..

"If 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......

Quote from me Q-X may want to remember:

"Burglary in the neighborhood of an armed citizen is a risky business."

“If you’ll notice, nobody with us has pushed anybody. … It’s what I expected. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s what I expected,” Quanell said. “The real question is, be honest, tell the truth. You watched them push, you watched them kick, you watched them shove. Did any of us do that?”

Yes sir, some of you did, caught on film.

I heard a caller to Pat Gray's show on KSEV 700 AM, Houston this morning who was going to send them video of Q X from the protest. It should appear on PatGray.com later this morning.

“If he wasn’t truly threatened and he shot and killed 2 men over a bag of bobbles; That is something he will have to answer for some day to far greater than us or Texas Law.”

There is much more at stake here than the value of the contents of the bag(what WOULD be the price equal to a human life?). You or I may decide not to fire in such a situation but what is really at issue is the sanctity of the ‘castle’. Declare that the spoils of burglary are not worth shooting over and you and I de facto don’t actually own anything. (including our homes and cars)

Morning Okie,
qUanell X, just another name for a domestic terrorist, who should be deported along with his BP crime cartel and anti-white racist ideaology.

Too, bad someone did not stomp quanell x’s brain out on the curb. qUanell’s brain would be a terrible good thing to waste.

Mr. Horn should receive a citizen’s “Medal of Valor” for his actions in defending his neighbor’s property and his own life.

We need more heros like Mr Horn, who will stand up for America against these criminals illegals or the domestic terrorists like qUanell xErox.

P.S. I believe Q boi and his group “the new tanned alleycats” were instigators at the Duke LaCrosse fabricated extortion/race baiting case in Durham.

Qoute of the day, “Piss off a liberal, go buy another gun.”

Respectfully,
NSNR

Must have thought it would be like the Jena 6, six on one.
quannel must not to be too, bright with a name like Quanell xo to the 19th power.

I wonder if xo arrived at the scene in the Mothership # 19 with calypso lousie at the con?

Q and the xboys got scared when they were out numbered and out gunned. (A good day in America) when thugs./terrorists are put back in their place.

It would be nice to see Mr. Horn make a “Rodney King” appearance on national TV and say, “Can’t We All(s) Just Get Along?” satire

Respectfully,
NSNR

I’m sure he had little control over, but seems to me Horn could have done without the redneck biker “support.” There were plenty other folks there.

How is a sincere criminal, trying hard, going to get ahead
in his profession if his victim fails to cooperate?
Almost all crime depends on the cooperation of the victim.
If the victim refuses his assigned role, the criminal is
placed at a disadvantage, one so severe that it usually
takes an understanding and compassionate judge to set right.

True story:

An acquaintance lives in the same gated community as Mr. X. They are townhouses in the recent "way too close together on a tiny plot of land" style. The day my (pale, very pale) acquaintance had his housewarming party, Quannel offered his bodyguards to direct traffic flow and assist his guests in parking.

At the time I thought "how nice and helpful", but now I think he did it so as to control who was entering his neighborhood.
