Edwards’ Sister: He’s Not Vicious, He Just Likes to Fight, and He’s Not in a Gang, He Just Hangs Out with Gangsters

The sister of alleged teen killer of the Australian baseball player, James Edwards, Rachel Padilla, appeared on CNN tonight. She gives off a strong whiff of denial.

I knew he had a Facebook page, but I never looked at it. And it’s hard to believe that he will be–that he would even put things on there like that.

CNN host Erin Burnett had read Padilla some of Edwards’ more offensive posts, and tweets.

In terms of speculation about Edwards’ “racial” motivation for committing the alleged crime, Padilla said “I know that he has a lot of caucasian friends with whom he hangs with, and the only way that I would feel that he would say anything racist about anybody is because we have felt racism from some of the people here in the community.” Given that Edwards is not believed to be the one who pulled the trigger, Padilla said she doesn’t know why he has been “charged with first-degree murder when he wasn’t the one who shot and killed the guy.”

Padilla admitted that her brother had been in trouble for fighting in the past, but maintained that he’s “never been a vicious person” and she doesn’t “feel in my heart that he would go to such extents to take an innocent life.”

He just liked to threaten to kill people on social networks.

She said as far as she knew, he was not associated with any gangs, but she did say he “hung around older people that were affiliated with gangs.”

If you’re a teenager and you hang around with older people who are in gangs, you usually end up in a gang, in prison, or dead. Or on a progression that includes all three.

One gets the impression that James Johnson, whose son was threatened by the trio that allegedly killed Chris Lane, is right: Edwards had no parental supervision. His family had very little idea of what their 15 year old was up to.

Yep. It’s pretty much a template.

First, cover up that the perpetrators are black.

Second, when the cover is blown, announce it was a “random” attack with no racial motivation.

Then, we hear from the assailant’s mother, grandmother, cousin, whatever, who tells us the assailant was an aspiring athlete or musician, and was a good boy.

The next shoe to drop is usually blaming the gun, the NRA, or slavery, or Jim Crow.

That was 1995-97. WELFARE REFORM happened.

Enforcement was WEAKENED not long after that and the law is all but UNENFORCED now.

In my head I see half the leftists in this country nodding their heads and thinking this makes sense.

That chart says it all. As the father of 3, I am proud to have had a positive influence on my children, who are all fine, upstanding, productive citizens, with spouses and children of their own.

The left tells us that non-traditional families can be just as successful as those with two parents. Well, it’s possible, but it is an uphill battle. Kudos to single parents, male or female, who can do the work of two. But, the bottom line is depicted in that chart. The Black poverty rate, with its concomitantly high crime rate, will have a very high coefficient of correlation with the Black illegitimacy rate.

“...a lot of Caucasian friends...”

Yeah right, that’s what all the black people say. /s

Hate whitey is institutionalized and reinforced on the social network.
