``Then he kind of stopped in front of where I was and took out like -- took his backpack off and took out a pair of scissors from the backpack,'' witness Chidinma Orj told Miami-Dade police in newly released court documents.

Wyche, she told police, tried frantically to break apart the eight-inch scissors. ``He was just saying stuff like, I'm a get him'' she recalled.

Time to outlaw scissors.

Start with hedge shears and work toward scissors as not to shock the public.

Is it safe to assume that these people aren't English majors?

Has this crime gotten the national exposure of the Virginia lacrosse killing?

He’s just misunderstood. It’s the conservatives’ fault.

Actually, I think it’s good that the press is not editing statements now. People say what they say...and you can tell a lot from the way they say it.

Black teenagers and young men have got to get a grip on this desire to settle everything by killing somebody.

Well no.

After all, lacrosse is very popular.

Lacrosse is American.

Lacrosse is good for you.

Lacrosse is entertaining.

Lacrosse is everything.

What is lacrosse anyway?

I never heard of it until this week and in that time frame I think I have heard the word a 1000 times on the news!

The overuse of the word “like” infuriates me. I heard a 20-something say earlier this week: “It came in LIKE three colors. It came in LIKE red, LIKE yellow and (get ready...) LIKE blue.”

Dollars to doughnuts there won’t be a spate of columns about how he was twisted into a life of crime because he played
football ...

(now if he had been playing lacrosse, the press would cover the story differently....)

The best (worst?) is phrasing such as ...

"I was like, y' know, whatever!"

`I see KB like falling, like he's injured or something, and then when I see him like that, `Q, don't stab him! Don't stab him!' ''

English?

And "Q" was just turning his life around, too. . . .
