And, there is the true root cause. This case cast a spotlight on what happens when some self-important guardian of the neighborhhood feels he has a license to play judge, jury and executioner. Sooner or later innocent people start getting killed.

And, BTW, this hasn't been the only case.

Actually they can, I recall sitting around in a restaurant after hours drinking with the owner and other customers and we got to telling jokes. One guy could not speak without using the F word as every fifth word.

Finally the lady sitting beside me told the joke about the Mother Superior asking the foreman of a next door construction site to have the workmen moderate their language. He insisted that his men called a spade a spade. To which the Mother Supperior said she could accept that as most the time they called a F***ing shovel.

Well when that sweet lady used the word so bluntly the poor guy shut up, I could have kissed her - come to think of it I did.

Shit, I quit following the mess. Only way I could trust what really happened is to have been an eye witness to the whole thing.

This is horse manure.

All news outlets edit all film and sound bites to save time and not lose the attention of the viewer.

George is just lookin' for the cash. None will be forthcoming from this.

Well noon when you are merely repeating slogans it gets difficult to keep track. Regardless all this is amusing in one sense as I watch the children trying to teach this old man how to suck eggs.

“If I were a black teenager, I would wear a white t-shirt and khaki shorts at all times, even if it’s winter,” said 34-year-old claims adjuster Nick Delmar. “Then again, some psycho would probably think white T-shirts and khaki shorts were some sort of gang thing, kill the kid, say he thought the kid appeared to be violent and dangerous, and probably be found not guilty.”

The Onion is brillant.

Perhaps the difficulty in understanding "those" people lies in fact that they can barely understand themselves.

Shall it be polo this Sunday?

Sir Chas

I shall be there shortly after the fox hunt my good Sir.

It now falls to me to instruct the less fortunate on not only how to think, but as to what to think, and how to conduct themselves as well.

And due to my benevolent nature, I shall go lightly with the lash...provided no miscreant insists on sterner measures.

However, I do have a problem that perhaps you could assist me with. Being the "Nuvo Elite", I've yet to devise a plan by which you can fund your own servitude.

Or perhaps I should just inquire at the club...once they unlock the door.

ROTFLMAO!! Post of the year so far

Indeed.

As far as black teens being on their own, they know it already. Look at the murder rates in the cities.
