Will those last few yards going through the door count toward his rushing totals for the season?

“Somebody needs to teach them about believing in and fearing God.”

Somebody shudda taught him about fearing armed Texans.

[EternalVigilance]

Well, as fearsome as armed Texans are, even they can’t compare to to the terror of falling into the Hands of an Angry God.

“...2/3 ain’t bad.”

That’s what Meatloaf always taught me.

I’m more than twice his age and when on my way home from anywhere never decided to commit a robbery. At a point in my life I was poor, dirt floor poor, but I didn’t steal. Must be something wrong with my upbringing.

[Secret Agent Man]

Black culture has a totally opposite definition of what a “good kid” is.

Good kids don’t put on masks and attempt to rob someone’s apartment.

Similar thing happened just over the hill Friday night. About 2 miles as the crow flies. 37 yr old black guy from Pittsburgh broke into a guy's house at 3:30 am. Homeowner shot him once in the chest and the perp staggered outside and collapsed in the yard.

This is the country. WTH was he doing here and at that house? Very strange.

I'll post a link. Can't post the article as I only h ave an iPhone 3.

He could’ve been a good kid..right up to when he wasn’t.

Once you put on that Obama mask, you just unintentionally start stealing from people. It’s not really your fault. It’s George Bush’s fault!

Another thug going to school. When will the colleges start checking the backgrounds on these thugs?

[Mark17]

That really is how the racist PC police think.

[Steely Tom]

When will the colleges start checking the backgrounds on these thugs?

You're joking, right?

[Pining_4_TX]

“When will the colleges start checking the backgrounds on these thugs?”

When colleges stop getting millions of dollars from their sports programs and stop being the minor leagues for pro sports.

Americans have to decide what the purpose of college is, education or a 4-year party with sports as the focus.

Pier pressure from known associates, or they're the Pier and have everybody
fooled Psychopath style.

Everyone is allowed to be proud of their ethnic background except white people. Well, guess what? I am proud to be white. My wife chose me, at least initially, because I am white. If that makes me rayciss, so be it. F those MOFOs.

[Impala64ssa]

at least we were spared "Turning his life around..."
Not quite. It looks like this phrase has been officially immortalized, according to the Urban Dictionary

[samtheman]

Good shooting.

That apartment and the things in it tempted him...It’s all the apartments fault.
