I have blogged about this before. I was very disappointed in my country for having the audacity to put a hero like Mandela on the terrorist list. But he is off now, so it is time to move on. <br /><br />Second....<br /><br />A man who shot and killed 2 men for breaking into his NEIGHBORS house was vindicated from any wrong doing by a Judge this week. <br /><br />In my humble opinion this was total Bullshit.<br /><br />First off this guy's life was not in any danger what so ever.<br /><br />Second, there was no one home at his neighbor's house, so the neighbor's life was not in any danger either.<br /><br />Third, The man was told by the 911 dispatcher not to interfere, that the local fuzz was on the way. But, this being Texas, the guy said forget that. You can hear him cocking his shotty over the phone call to 911. He goes out of HIS safe house over to his NEIGHBORS house and proceeds to shoot the 2 "illegals" in the back as they were running away. All of this was on tape because the dummy carried his phone with him.<br /><br />In my opinion this was straight up murder, but this being Texas, a good ole boy judge ruled that the guy was justified in shooting the two "illegals". The Judge ruled that he was "protecting" his neighbor's property.<br /><br />Ain't that some shit?<br /><br />A man will have his life spared for raping a child, but a man can shot and kill 2 unarmed men that were not a threat to him at all and get praised for it?<br /><br />Only in America.<br /><br />Now here is a case that I am kinda torn on.<br /><br />This happened in my stomping grounds, PG County, MD. A 19 year old man supposedly ran over and killed a cop while fleeing from the fuzz in a stolen car. The man ended up getting killed while he was in solitary confinement. He was found strangled.<br /><br />Here is my problem. What the hell was a 19 year old doing in a stolen car? Why was he not in College somewhere?<br />Why did he feel the need to run over and kill a cop?<br />Where was his parents while he was out thugging? It is obvious that this could not have been his first time running from the Police. So why is he considered a St. now? <br />Why is it that when something bad happens to a black person that got caught doing<br />bad shit, all of a sudden he was a good boy, that never did nothing to hurt nobody or he was trying to take care of his sick parents or his 9 babies from 8 different women? When do we as a people stand up and take responsibility for our actions?<br /><br />Now it is pretty f%^&ED up that the boy was killed in police custody before he could defend his actions before a jury. Who knows, he could have been found Innocent.<br /><br />But...<br /><br />He put himself in a situation where even if he was not doing anything but "joyriding", he knew the consequences if the Police decided to interfere. He knew what he was doing was wrong and he choose to do it anyway. So therefore, I have no sympathy for him. I feel for his mother and the rest of his relatives, because his death was unnecessary. He did not have to die. <br /><br />Now as for the Fuzz....<br /><br />This whole thing stinks to high heaven. Of course the police were involved in this. One of their own was killed needlessly. Of course there was going to be some pay-back. You do not mess with the boy's in blue. <br /><br />But here is the rub...<br /><br />Can it be proven in a court of "law" that the fuzz was involved?<br /><br />No.<br /><br />This is an example of the same kind of shit I was talking about in the above paragraphs.<br /><br />If the people that murdered this kid ever get caught and it turns out they were on the police force, they will be acquitted. They will be vindicated. They will be praised as hero's for doing their job to "protect" the public from another wild and crazy nigger. <br /><br />If you think I am overreacting, just have a talk with Michael Bell's fiance and parents.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-2385899-1"; urchinTracker(); </script></div>Dirty Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01508696230100618659noreply@blogger.com
