Wow! This granny is some dresser! I don't think I ever saw my grandma in an all purple outfit complete with a mod 1960's style Carnaby (sp?) hat.

Also, I noticed that "Skippy" seems to have lost some weight. At first he was 400lbs. Then it became nearly 400lb. Then it became 350. Now it's 342lb. I wonder if he is getting a little taller as well?

And, finially, after reading this article and all these loving things about "Skippy" I found myself thinking: "How is it this guy didn't end up as pope?"

[cyborg]

did I miss something? No where in the article did they mention the drugs in his system. PCP, wet marijuana and all that... bad combo. Plus he was shown to have heart disease.

I kept looking for the inevitable mention of his being an "Honor Student," to no avail.

The black community has a serious problem. They will rally behind even the worst criminal if he/she is black. Whites don't do that. Most white people want white criminals punished. Why do blacks make excuses for black criminals.

[xsmommy]

GMTA, i was just going to post something about the honor student angle!!!

[cyborg]

So you think the people you see on tv is the whole of the 'black community'? I disagree. I know white people who makes excuses for white criminals all the time. Why do people makes excuses for people AT ALL is beyond me.

[mrfixit514]

the family of Nathaniel Jones say they believe six Cincinnati Police officers must have said or done something to make the 342-pound man lunge at them

Yeah. They got in the way of his PCP binge and told him to get on the ground so they could handcuff him.

[Frank_2001]

LOL! And how about that line, "All he had was his bare hands"?? At 400 lbs., that's freakin' ENOUGH!;)

[mrfixit514]

So what do you call the riots in LA and Ohio? I haven't seen any white people looting and burning when the police beat up or kill a white guy.

[07055]

Yeah, we all excused Clinton for his misdeeds because, after all, he's white.

[cyborg]

Yeah again, that was every black person in America? I saw the same LA Riots. I know way more black people who go to work everyday just like everyone else. So white people don't fight in your neck of the woods. They sure do where I live.

[cyborg]

I think it was the crocodile tears over being the child of an alcoholic personally...lol

[keithtoo]

First of all, I am sorry he is dead.

This guy was a walking ad for disfunction. He doesn't know his own dad, his own 2 kids live in another city (would they recognize him if they saw him?)he had PCP, alcohol and embalming fluid-laced marijuana in his system, he passed out in a restaurant parking lot and then he attacks cops who come to find out why he got tired so quickly.

Jeez, if so-called black leaders want respect, they should stop their knee-jerk defense of creeps like this.

By the way, who cares how friendly this guy was when he was sober? HE WAS ON PCP!!!!! That stuff would make Mother Theresa get up in someone's face.

The black community has a serious problem. They will rally behind even the worst criminal if he/she is black. Whites don't do that. Most white people want white criminals punished. Why do blacks make excuses for black criminals.

What's most perplexing is that blacks are far more likely to be victims of violent crimes than whites, statistically.

Granny never thought she'd hit the big time, but her day has finally arrived.

'Round and 'round the Lawsuit Lottery goes, where she lands, nobody knows.

"Yeah, we all excused Clinton for his misdeeds because, after all, he's white.

You may have excused the sonofabitch...but most of us haven't...

Besides - you're forgetting Clinton's claim to be the first black president... so it's not certain if he was simply white trash or black trash.....

In ANY event -- he was trash...

Semper Fi

Notice that they never addressed the drugs. Or his weight. People went nuts when the corner ruled it a homicide, but he had to, as it wasn't an accident and not a suicide. Of course they ignore the part where they said the cops shouldn't be held responsible.

[Itzlzha]

Thompson said he was currently going through some financial difficulty, and Jones had let him move in with him until Thompson could get back on his feet.

And, as we ALL know, whenever one is in "financial difficulty", one then goes out and gets COCAINE, PCP, and smokes a nice big SPLEEF dipped in FORMALDEHYDE! Not to mention at 350 lbs, (or WHATEVER he weighed), I don't think he had a salad at White Castle.

This stuff is free, right? After all, Maxine Waters says "Unca Sucka" been pushing this on Black folk...right?
