Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

What are the "too many people," who are listening to them?

Probably you for one.

Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

I'm neither a fan or Sharpton or Jackson but I don't consider them "race baiters" per say since they've had some significance during the MLK era. I just kinda think people watch too much Fox and begin to start parroting terms like "race baiter" "race hustlers" etc

It's just really really old.


That's a diversion. The mlk era? LMAO...that was a long time ago and they've done a lot to damage their credibility since then..but I understand having to reach so far back to try to rationalize.
You think only fox calls them that and anyone who agrees is a parrot and unable to think for themselves...got it.
Google "race hustler".
Why would you defend a convicted liar and fraud, anyway...is it because he says things you like to hear?
 
Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

Well its an improvement you are not fan of sharpy or jackson. Its not enough though. We, as a society, need the people who follow them to reject their hatred. Zimmerman was a great example, a case that had nothing to do with race, and they made it one about race. The faster the African American community rejects these bigots and embraces the culture of our nation and leaders like Crosby, Alan West and many others and become partners in society instead of victims of society (so they are taught) the sooner we can all feel like races are getting along.

I know there was already a link about this tragedy but it has derailed off into neverland. But I believe this has to be the most pathetic piece of BS that it deserves its own thread.

Please let there be a trial and the defendants use that defense. The prosecutor will rip them apart. Bring on the trial.

Just disgusting. Can we just bypass due process and get this piece of trash to the dump right now?

No..give them their due process and if (when) they're found guilty, march them outside.

You don't consider Sharpton or Jackson "race baiters?" What pray tell then DO you consider them? :doh

You're right of course - but letting them spew such vomitous bile in the media is sickeningly shameful.
 
Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

Well, the suspect is allegedly claiming the victim was "selling" crack, not using it. That the alleged assault occurred because the victim had "shorted" the gang when they bought it. Nothing in the article, except a friends comment that the victim didn't use illegal drugs, indicates that the suspect stated the victim was a drug user as well as an "accused" crack dealer.

However, while anything is possible in the world of drug dealing, I'd find it highly unlikely that an 88 year-old man was a crack dealer.

I've seen several cases of the elderly selling drugs (and getting busted) right here at home so it's completely plausible. But I still don't get why it matters. If I shot every drug dealer who delivered underweight baggies, I'd need to buy a graveyard just for my own collection.

But I don't kill them because, well, I don't want to go to prison. I just find a better dealer. Murder is still muder, darn it.

So you believe them?
 
Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

It's probably just as illegal to kill a drug customer as it is to murder anybody else. So, I don't think this will work as a defense. Some lawyer might make his career getting the guy off and then suing the estate for the balance owed. But, I'll guess that won't happen.

The killer is saying the 88 year old man was the one selling the drugs, not buying them, if I read that correctly.

They should flog that one before they hang him.

Well, I think it's PR so that people dont think "88 yo war veteran" but instead think "88 yo drug dealer." LOL

Murder is still murder though, as you say.

QFT. Far more likely they were looking for pain killers and all he had was a half bottle of osteoporisis medication.

Yes. Seems that way. We all need income, even at 88.

Exactly. Murder is murder. As it should be.
 
Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

Why waste one cent on a trial?
 
Re: Murder suspect claims 88-year-old victim shorted him in drug deal

If that's true, why is it so impossible?

Even if that is true that is still no defense for murder.

Is that supposed to be a personal attack?
