I saw the comments about his FB and checked it out, didn't bother with the myspace though. Yeah he was 100% in a gang. I saw the mention of "Midtown Goon", but I think they might call themselves Money-ville considering he has another friend with "money-ville" in his FB name.
Looked up Brunswick, Ga gangs and got this gem from about 6 years ago...Here
This is a nice look into how they're thinking.
Dig dis, If there are know jobs avalible, how are we going to make our money?
Everything on the southside are either owned by mexicans, are there not worth working for such as a liquor store. Every job a ni*ga dreams of having is located on the islands but they dont want us over there. soon as they here were from the mainland they have second thoughts. So we get dis money by any means.Robbing They Rich azz's
For those who make this a gun issue, you aren't looking at the whole picture. WHY did he try to rob this lady in the first place? Education system sucks, poverty, kids feel like they have nothing to do besides drugs and "getting money". Sounds like a boredom problem, really.
This is capitalism and survival of the fittest coming home to roost!
All the people wanting to end foodstamps and welfare...you may as well be prepared for this should it ever happen. As the young, stupid, thug says, there aren't any jobs. And we live in a materialistic world...what are his options? Lie in the gutter and die or pick up a gun (which we have plenty of) and start robbing?

Good god! Robbing is one thing. Walking over and pointing a gun at a one-year old in a stroller and pulling the trigger is another! There IS no excuse for this kind of behavior....I don't care how scarce jobs are for these kinds of low-lifes.
I am sick and damned tired of people making excuses for violent psychopaths with NO morals or conscience. Hell...I heard stories from my parents and grandparents about The Great Depression and how most people had no money. Some people had very little food and others had to make their clothes out of flour sacks and put rubber from old tires on the worn out soles of their shoes. Did they go around killing babies?!
The problem is boredom!!!!!???? What is wrong with you people that say things like this?

Yes, please. Please explain how I am responsible for the terrible suffering of the slaves during the 18th-19th century when my ancestors came here from Europe around 1900 and were never involved that trade? Is it because my skin is not dark enough I am lumped into the same category?
See how that works....it works both ways. I don't (at least I try) use skin color to assign blame to anyone, their own actions do that for them. Its not what you look like, it's what you do with your life, and the decisions you make, that frame the perception others have of you.
What the hell are you talking about? Who said anything concerning what you're ranting about?
Well....you DID say this: "Afrikans suffered a terrible injustice during slavery and there wasn't a thing they could do about it. But karma's a b_____. Because the descendants of those slaves are free and the descendants of racist whites are afraid of their own shadow now."

Oh please, the guy was on neighborhood watch patrol. He was doing what he was supposed to be doing. He didn't walk up to him and start beating his fists with his face. But he must be guilty of murder since the POTUS said " If i had a son, he would look just like Treyvon" That is the only reason it is going to trial.

OKkkk....so it's really simple. You say your ancestors had nothing to do with slavery....so it doesn't apply to you.

Stop the crap about slavery. All races where slaves at one time or another! And they don't use that as a crutch to be lazy,feral parasites except blacks. Its called taking responsibility for your OWN ACTIONS! But its ppl like you who coddle this bad behavior and make every excuse in the book for them. And of course you will call me a racist/bigot for speaking the absolute truth about the matter. If speaking the truth is racist, then i'm the biggest racist out there.

Fair enough. Now, if you saw me walking on the street, how would you know? If you saw a picture of me, how would you know? This is my point. Generalizations and misconceptions go BOTH ways. You should also be admonishing the Africans who hunted down, captured, and SOLD their fellow black men into the slave trade as well.
All this aside, regardless of race, creed, or color, shooting a baby, is evil regardless of any other justifications. Whether someone 250 years ago was tortured is no reason to punish their descendents today. Wouldn't you agree? So, you bringing this topic into the conversation was also uncalled for IMO. I'm just calling you on your statement, and hopefully, you can see it as more of an unrelated motivation.....at least it should be. If after the trial, it is uncovered that it was racially motivated, then, the same level of racial hate crime penalties should be assigned to the guilty.....regardless of their skin color.

Me personally, I don't invulge in the the whole "pay you back for slavery thing" and chastise and discipline black people who I observe doing this. I'll be the first to say, most white people deserve no persecution or accusations concerning slavery or repirations. There are some, like the gentleman on the previous page talking bout being a proud Confederate Flag waving neck who harbor a certain feeling toward black people, who I would allow the savages to ravage and eat.
Also I acknowledge Afrikans sold other Afrikans into slavery, but there's two things to this. Firstly, Afrika wasn't a big, unified country ever. Afrikans did not see every other black man as their brother. The same way two white men from Europe (Germany and Britian) wouldn't see each other as brothers. It was Europeans who grouped all the black people of Afrikaa together.
Slavery is a old practice on Afrika.....it's chattel slavery that was new and unheard of to them...

That said, I really can't put the blame on using computers and TVs and babysitters, simply because we have so many people who do this same thing and don't turn out in such an extreme way. And even kids surrounded by these things 24/7, not all develop badly (it seems most don't). So, is it an inherent predisposition to act this way, or also upbringing, in which case even without this constant negative media, these people would still likely be like (at some point perhaps), because of this disposition.
I may not have said it as well as I meant to. I didn't mean to restate the same thing in the kids being babysat by computers and TV. Not in terms of the content of either one. That's where we agree it's bad anyway for conditioning in general. Nothing cause/effect but the non-stop barrage is overwhelming. It has to be.
In being parked in front of electronics to babysit, it's the LACK of the parents I think hurts the most. What replaces them carries it's own issues but I think parents are becoming less directly involved in the early years for hands on things ...It's having an effect for never forming an upbringing with values, IMO.edit on 22-3-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)
