Shot dead over a pair of shoes- - - - -Darwinism at its finest! I wonder what kind of shoes they're going to bury the kid in? His buddies need to be charged with murder, or at least "accessory"!

At least the CCW carrier was a good shot!

I got no issue with it. He was robbing people for shoes. He's scum, now dead scum, and we're better off for it.
Death isn't always tragedy.
He was planning on wearing the shoes to look for work....
It's OK....Sam was responding to a post I deleted....then I had to edit Sam's post or there wouldn't have been any point in deleting what I deleted.....it's confusing but it's a moderator thing and confusing is the mod squads middle name.....
This essay tells you everything you need to know about today's "urban child."
It's frank. Well written and it's premise is difficult to dispute.
It's why we are facing a dilemma that can only be solved through conflict.
The menace is out of hand.

Darwin's initial assessment was correct!
Wow! Talk about 'going off the reservation.' I didn't think there was a liberal anywhere in the wide world that would report such experiences.
Nor should it...
Jayhawker explained it but I want to comment... Jason, what happened is that someone posted a racially oriented comment. I think that we're above such and therefore I complained that the poster was out of line.
But then, the racist post was deleted by the mod, so that gap was filled with Jayhawker's comment, about which I had zero complaints. But the now-deleted post was what I was complaining about. And no, I didn't file a complaint w.. the mods. Apparently I wasn't the only one who disliked the comment and so it got deleted. Which led to your post, Jason.
I first heard about the "confessions" post from a local conservative talkshow host Mike Berry.
And you're right -- it's an excellent article and on the point.

This isn't the one I'm thinking of, but it happened in Houston, TX.

As for being in the position of being able to discuss race without being branded a racist, the guy is well placed. Sadly, things of this nature become stereotypes because THEY ARE TRUE. The feral upbringing coupled with the sense of entitlement is an ugly combination that's only going to be solved from within that community. The leader to bring that about, however, has not made an appearance yet. When the below seems to be a common attitude, you know we have problems.

But the homeowner had a gun too, and was a better shot. Score: Homeowner 1, Thug 0 (a big fatal zero) This seems to be the outcome more and more here in Texas, and hopefully in other places as well. Citizens are thankfully defending themselves with greater success:

Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
And yet, 100 thugs show up and throw rocks and stuff at the cops. And this is Texas City, a very conservative area of the greater Houston region.
I'm telling you, the result of this will eventually be the cops just "forgetting" to show up or just sitting and watching, and letting drunk idiotic thugs shoot innocent people. And I can hardly blame them. We'll eventually be reduced to the old days, taking the law into our own hands.

That is an extremely disturbing read.
I would normally say thank you but I do not think I wanted my own thoughts confirmed so precisely.
Disturbing is correct, and whether factual? I wish it were not, but per most of my experience, sadly, yes.
And I know similar problems exist in the UK, perhaps not so prevalent.
Thing is, such an environment is self-perpetuating and it may be generations before it's erased.
Drop the first rock-thrower in his tracks- - - - -then yell "NEXT!" An AR-15 set to Rock and Roll would be the appropriate weapon.

There has always been racial strife, and much of it has been, at the very least, understandable. But what makes it so bad, this time, is that white folks do not understand it, because there is no clear-cut injustice at the heart of it. This current trouble was not brought on because people wearing sheets were mistreating some nice person who was minding his own business. This time, it has been 'ginned up' by community organizers, using questionable incidents, and involving obvious criminals. Forty years ago, white folks instinctively knew that black folks were responding to injustices, because most had seen some of it for themselves at some time in their life. That is not present this time, and even people who have always been sympathetic to minorities on past issues are bothered by it, maybe for the first time ever. This is creating a much sharper racial divide than past incidents, with much less sympathy for the cause, outside of black communities. That means that the radicals are going to be running the show, on both sides, and that is never good.
This can spread to every major city, if some honest leadership doesn't kick in pretty soon in the black communities. I just hope it hasn't gone so far, already, that the thinkers among them are afraid to speak out to the folks who will actually still listen. I just can't believe that every black person thinks that these recent police 'issues' are the right issues to use, to air their grievances. There is an old saying - something to the effect that to be a successful 'crusader,' you have to be able to choose 'which hill to die on.' This is the wrong hill, in my opinion.
I've seen more bullying incidents with kids, locally, but haven't seen problems with adults much. Of course, I don't get out that much, lately.
