'Wasn't He Robbing the Store with a GUN?'

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I would love to sit down with one of these family members claiming this to try to understand how their "logic" works. I'll even bring a whiteboard and markers for them to draw me pictures to help explain.

A "whiteboard", huh? I see how it is.

Is "whitesplaining" a thing yet?

Let me look... YEP!

How ****ing stupid.

 

[actaeon277]

I can't find the original post but this happened in 2019 and pretty sure it was discussed here on ingo

Maybe the DGU thread?

Sorry man. I knew a hankie like you wouldn't get it...

 

[Mgderf]

Can't explain why, but when I read this story again I get a song popping up in my head.
Alabama Bound, I believe is the name of the song by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
"I got my pistols in my pocket boys, I'm, I'm Alabami bound...and I ain't lookin' for no trouble but nooobody dogs me 'round..."

 

[rugertoter]

Another "good boy, just trying to turn his life around" scenario?

 

[Indyhd]

They are always turning their life around...around to their next armed robbery.

There’s not enough time or crayons to try to explain it to them, they’re incapable of understanding. Of course, they could have a woke, liberal dumbs*** Bloomberg MDA activist whispering in their ear…just saying!

That was in 2019:

Robber's Family Said Clerk Who Shot Him During Holdup Shouldn't Have Gun At Work - The Police Tribune

Dayton, OH – The outraged family of an armed robber who was fatally shot while holding up a Dollar General store said that the employee who shot him had no reason to bring a gun to work. “You do not take matters into your own hands and bring a gun to work for safety! Period!” […]

Apparently Dollar General is not a safe place to work?

I at first feel sorry for the family of a criminal.
Like the person or not, they were still their family.

But, when they say stupid things like this... the "feeling sorrow" ends.

You know what I'd like to see? Just once? Instead of the standard, "He was a good kid yada yada yada..." BS. I'd love to see a family be honest and say, "Yeah, he was mixed up with some bad ****. It was only a matter of time before he got killed." You know they knew it. I'd just like to see them be honest about it instead of painting a picture of the deceased as a 10 year old choirboy.

The Mississippi Kid. Had to have been on their first album, almost a jug-band song.

To them he was a choirboy, because he was just doing it for his family, and that was the family way of life. Why hold an honest job when you can get a firearm and rob for the money? It was his family's way.

I did see it once.
I think it was even posted here on INGO.
A Mom was sad by the loss of her son, doesn't understand what happened to him, felt deep sorrow over it, but DID NOT excuse it.

It's unusual, but it happens.

The MEDIA stays away from that.
They want crying family.

So does Ben Crump and those like him. Race baiting is big business.

Well, crying family always does.
Race just adds more.

How many white families do you see crying about their kid that was killed while he was committing a crime or shooting at a cop or resisting arrest? I'm not sayin'... I'm just sayin'... And how many times does Ben Crump (and those like him) come to their rescue? (Rhetorical question, since that situation just doesn't come up.)

Ben Crump is only interested in race.

The news media.. well race adds blood to the water.
But I've seen white families crying about their poor innocent baby just the same.

Must be different up there. I've not seen it here. Not saying it doesn't happen, but the media doesn't show it.

Oh, like I said, race definitely seems to throw chum in the water.

But the media LOVES to throw the microphone in almost anybody crying.
Especially if they can show it's any evil powerful group against a pure and innocent group.

Look at the anti-police stuff.
Plenty of it out there... for various races.
