I don't cite this as in any way undercutting Reid's position in the current matter, but the irony is striking.
Some have mentioned Al Sharpton's potential interest. I think that if either a jury or the DA decides not to punish Reid, we can count on Sharpton and company attempting to turn this into another Jena Six-style circus.
There’s a big difference in Reid not being charged and Sharpton and the rest of those idiots raising cane over it. The problem is, the ONLY “racism” I see any more is projected from the Black leaders in this country.
For years we kept hearing people saying “The military is rampant with Racism”.
I was in 26 years. The only time I heard the “N” word was when a black person said it himself. In all those years, I heard a few black men complain about racism, but when asked when and where it was taking place, they could only give “vague” answers.
No one would ever pin point it to a person, or group.
That’s not to say it wasn’t happening, somewhere, but if it was, it was extremely muted and usually fell on deaf ears anyway.
It’s people like Jackson and Sharpton that keep it alive and well in the South.
Whether or not Reid has a criminal history ISN’T RELEVANT. See, this where people always try to go with these things, and where several in this thread have tried to take it.
They will point to the fact that dead fella had a criminal history and all the folks here who’ve said “Reid should be charged” will say the dead guy’s PAST record shouldn’t be taken into account, ONLY THIS INCIDENT>
Well, what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander folks.
If you want to point out Reid’s history (and I’m not directing this specifically at you Sergei) then you also need to point out the dead guy’s list of crimes.
Basically, this guy got caught in a bad position and wound up in the middle of an accident.
Reid, if it was more than a decade ago, probably paid for his crimes and was trying to make a life for himself. He also, if indeed had a record and had such “previous experiences” himself probably instinctively KNEW he was being robbed.
So... tough on the dead guy.
