They all claim they were turning their lives around when someone is killed. Standard operating procedure.
ReplyDeleteJust a tip for anyone who is "turning his life around":
ReplyDeleteDon't attend any rap concerts, especially late at night.
Also, probably find a whole new circle of friends and acquaintances, get a job, work hard, and you may be surprised what happens.
It's a big world out there and really lots of opportunities.
I love how the standard narrative for young black men killed is "he was turning his life around". It's so cynical, depressing, and so not true. Most of these 'turning his life around' types were fully engaged in their reckless behavior. So sad!
ReplyDeleteCheck out Johnson County courts and Case Net on the guy killed who "was turning his life around".......cases pending since Decemeber 2017 and court appearances as late as April of this year on those cases.....and as someone pointed out, he was at a rap concert. His mom said he was a "homebody" in her statement to the dead tree media
ReplyDeleteYou know how rare it is to hear about a 22 year old white father of four? It has to be less than 1% nationwide yet you hear it about black people all the time. How many baby mommas? Probably four. In just that dead baby daddies circle of family, they will literally cost the social justice system millions in their lifetimes. Think of all the people in his life who are on welfare, will be on welfare, will go to prison, and the future crimes they'll commit. The damage his circle will do is incalculable. His worthless offspring will continue the cycle of worthlessness.
ReplyDelete^^Speaking of worthlessness.
ReplyDelete"...worthless offspring..."? Don't blame the kids for what they've been dealt. How about 'worthless blogger' instead?
ReplyDelete9:18 you're the biggest piece of worthless shit on this board. You post day and night and obviously don't have a job given your frequency of posts.
