As another Freeper said on another threat - “we should have picked our own damn cotton”.

Is this “PUNK” serious? Holding up a sign saying; NO MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TO FEAR FOR HER SON’S LIFE, EVERY TIME HE ROBS A STORE”. What part of the world does he believe he is living in? Does he think he is still in AFRICA? That’s the problem we have in our schools. Our GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS are teaching these “PUNKS” that they have a right to every one else’s property, because the white society has “ROBBED” them of what truly belongs to them.

An attempted robbery...left a promising Howard University football player dead...

I was channel-surfing last night, with my wife sitting beside me, both bored.

However, our attention was piqued by a spot about a black kid that robbed an electronics store, got his pic splashed all over the TV and his mother recognized him.

The next day, his mother went to the store with a single laptop, stated that her son was a "good boy", etc, etc.

Notwithstanding the fact that thousands of dollars worth of I-phones and laptops were stolen, as well as a legal handgun that the owner had left in the store.

Some of the electronic stuff was later recovered...the gun is still missing.

The VO stated only that the kid was working his way through the juvenile criminal justice system.

Disgusting, particularly in view of the fact that the "good boy" can be seen very clearly on the surveillance tape, finding the gun and placing it into the rear of his pants.

A good boy, indeed.

No fathers, uncles or other extended family nor Christianity to direct them otherwise. They're resentful feral savages, not civilized.

Now with all the accounts of poor murdered, turning-their-lives-around teenaged Africans-AmeriKa and their “aspirations toward rapping”, were I somebody at the CDC with nothing to do, I’d be looking for a link to “victim disease” and rapping, myself. Could probably get a big-A$$ Obama grant for it.

I guess I’m a bit shocked from the standpoint that he was a student at a major university. He appeared not to be just another thug or gang member precisely because he was in college. And presumeably in college was making something of his life??? Or should have been???

Well he won’t make that mistake again.

Before assuming intellectual positions, perhaps you would be well advised to ask where “necklacing” became a ‘social policy’ practiced by those who became leaders of a soi dissant “nation”.

Yeah, I refer to Winnie Mandela and the nation once called South Africa.

He considered himself invincible is the reason. He was “due” whatever he wanted. He was brought up all his life that the was entitled to everything.

“motives a mystery”

If I had to take a wild guess, I’d say he wanted somebody else’s stuff that wasn’t his and was trying to take it at gunpoint after invading someone else’s home to get it.

Of course, it does make you wonder who it was whose home he invaded.

Was it just an innocent family having dinner or whatever, minding their own business and fortunately armed and prepared?

Or was it someone he might have had knowledge of, involved in... whatever nefarious activity that he intended to catch by surprise?

Maybe a poker game with lots of money on the table or something like that.

Many countries sent them back. England bought them and expatriated most of them. Oh, if we could just turn back the clock.

Don’t be surprised. My sister was a welfare worker and had two children under her care, one named Normale and one named RH Darvon. (Darvon was a drug prescribed to new mothers back in the day).

Same thing as here...communist subversion. Divide and conquer.

You don’t think the black-power, hippies, women’s lib, queer coalition movements all happened simultaneously, by accident do you?

From the headline, I first thought the football player was being robbed.

That's how they (editor/reporter) get you to read it, thinking you're going to get the Energizer Bunny, rather than a boring same-old, same-old story.

Although, it's always worthwhile when the would-be victims triumph over the perps.
