Immediately after I read the headline and before reading the article, I knew two things. 1) He was black and 2) the gun was not his.

The gene pool thanks you, you moron.

Reading the article one notes that he ‘found’ the gun ...

Can’t be sure. He may have had a son that grew up to be president and solved global warming.

The Uncle is stunned and understandably hurt but where is his disappointment at his Nephew being irresponsible with a gun? Not a word about it.

In journalism school, they teach students that “found” is the same as “stolen” when discussing blacks.

Black lives matter!

This is pathetic.

Family members say Smith was supposed to start classes at Houston Community College tomorrow. The young father leaves behind two small daughters, ages one and three, according to relatives.

I don't resent paying taxes to support his small daughters, I do resent those who claim this is a healthy culture that we should encourage.

Then you are a better man/woman than I. By the time they are 13 they'll be pumping out the next generation of low IQ killers.

I’m sure the community college Rhodes scholar was stunned too for about a half second after he pulled the trigger. And now, strait from Houston, our 2015 Darwin Award winner...

This is one instance where I wholeheartedly approve of selfies. Now if more gangsta wannabe would only follow in his footsteps the world would be a much better place.
