Hendershot? The newsbabe's name is Hendershot?

/too easy for innuendo

Ready.

My baby didn't do nuffin!

...Wanted for questioning.

What started the fight is not clear as it started in the hall and we were inside the courtroom.


When did the use of first person become acceptable in news articles?

Whut?

Loved the line "choice words"

I can imagine what those words were in fact, and no, they were not choice.

Not sure how good an idea it is to have victim and perp's families all together, though it does make for much hilarity

paygun: My baby didn't do nuffin!

He wuz a good boy!

I'll just get this one out of the way:

UNC_Samurai: /too easy for innuendo

Inherendo

The ending is priceless... "OK...you're black, you're under arrest. You! You there! You're black, too. You're under arrest."

First, I was like wtf? Then I saw it was in Flint. It all makes sense in the end.

Woman running from the scene could be heard screaming "Day shot Boo!, Day shot Boo!"

Just don't forget to put the bunny back in the box.

FTFA: Punches were flying and members of Flint's Safe Streets Task Force came in to help. We had to blur their faces so as not to identify them.

I'm missing the helmet on the cat reference, damn me.

Confused, but doesn't want anyone to explain.

Are you taking notes, Europe?

Englebert Slaptyback: When did the use of first person become acceptable in news articles?

I told them to start doing that after all of their accusatory pieces written in second person.

"A fight started in the hall and you were nowhere around" etc.

From TFA
The judge sentenced Kerr to life in prison. Kerr's mother stood up and said something like, "Don't take my child away."

Ummm great reportin' or soemthing like that fark face.

It's interesting that so many things that happen - in real life - hundreds of times a day in this country - would get anyone depicting them in a film or work of fiction branded as a "racist" who's perpetuating negative stereotypes.

Methinks said stereotypes need no additional help in their perpetuation.

called it. i knew they were black.

lehmac: From TFA

Yeah, this is one of the great mysteries of the black community to me.

In spite of suffering murders at a rate that eclipses those of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan - not only does "nobody ever see nothin'" but, to the moms and family members of those convicted they're precious snowflakes could never have done it because "I didn't raise my baby to be no killer" or "he's a good boy (with a rap-sheet longer than a Chevy) who just "made a mistake" or "took in with the wrong crowd," etc. ad nauseum.

It's almost as if that "Not Me" ghost-type creature from the "Family Circus" cartoon is single handedly responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of black people over the last several decades.

Baliffs are the failures of the law enforcement industry. Lowest on the hierarchy of those who aren't civilian rent-a-cops. I can only imagine how freaked out some old fart who does nothing but stand there all day long, counting the hours until the pension kicks in, suddenly has to spring into action to maintain order.

I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a kitten playing with English Civil War lobster pot helmets on a Franklin stove.

The defense attourney looks like the Tall Man from Phantasm.

Well thats a lot of parents of every race who produced children born into certain generation.
I feel like if your kid was born after '88 they are prolly worthless little whiney beyatches who need a gold star after they take a sheyat and played on t-ball teams where EVERYONE was a FARKING WINNER!!!! SPARKLES!!!!

I just hate crappy journalism.

Oh_Enough_Already: Yeah, this is one of the great mysteries of the black community to me.

I don't think it's the black community per se. I think it's a culture that glorifies "thug life." Someone of any race can be a part of it.

lehmac: I feel like if your kid was born after '88 they are prolly worthless little whiney beyatches who need a gold star after they take a sheyat and played on t-ball teams where EVERYONE was a FARKING WINNER!!!! SPARKLES!!!!

It's been my experience that the kids on the tee ball weren't the ones getting into gang activity. It's the ones whose parents can't be bothered to pay attention to them because they're either lazy or working two jobs to keep their heads above water.

YesItsTom: Woman running from the scene could be heard screaming "Day shot Boo!, Day shot Boo!"

WTF...is there ALWAYS someone named "Boo" involved in these situations?

FTFA "The judge sentenced Kerr to life in prison. Kerr's mother stood up and said something like, "Don't take my child away."

This is what *really* cheezes me off about these people. The mother of the murderous snowflake does not seem to realize that "her baby" took another family's "baby" away, forever.

But of course she has no concern about the other family's loss, because she's such a self-centered coont. I sincerely hope the members of the other family really let her have the best verbal assault they could muster. I sure would have.

Murderer's Mom, sit down and STFU. Your "baby" is a murderer.

Wrong answer. That would be the mafia.

Need another hint?

Scifientologist: Wrong answer. That would be the mafia.

Mafia, thugs, it's all the same. Disenfranchised and impoverished minorities, discriminated against by the majority and using the trade in illegal substances and acts to become wealthy and powerful within their communities.

I've seen thugs in my town wearing (horrendously oversized) shirts with pictures of Al Capone and Pacino's character from Scarface.

jehovahs witness protection: Tribal reactions are tribal.

Tribes require a certain amount of organizational structure, honor, and internal discipline that folks of this ilk simply do not possess.

Cease being a criminal scumbag, and I cease discriminating against you.

Continue to be a bad example of your race, and you earn every racial epithet and stereotype that gets slung at you.

"It's the man keepin' us down!'

The Angry Hand of God: I never quite understood the Scarface love.

It's the story of a poor young man who grows up to have a lot of money and power by working against authority. Thug culture admires all those things.

No.

Jaquan /really?

I know, its like they set up for failure at birth. when they give them an funny ass name like that and there is a racist out there, they can just look at the names on an application, those are good names for nicknames, they dont belong on a birth certificate. I am also looking at Dakota,chrystal ect.

I know a few real Africans (From Africa) they don't understand "African Americans" either, most think they have a shiatty attitude.

THIS.

Usually when two families go off on each other in the courtroom or out in the hallway, it's not really a brawl. Every Hatfield or Shark concentrates on just one McCoy or Jet. If it was really a brawl, that blond chick pointing at the family members to the guards AND the guards themselves would've been lost in the shuffle as well.

/I was REALLY hoping that blond chick would go down...not because I didn't like her, but she looked like a SCRAPPER! HAWT!!! :D

Like I said, only those within the culture can change it. If you go around telling rednecks to stop sounding like they've sustained major head trauma, they'll call you a liberal elitist.

Nice job outing yourself with that statement, racist.

It says nothing about the potential hire not being racist themselves, just that you prefer hiring someone with more pigmentation in their skin rather than less simply because SOMEONE ELSE who is completely unrelated to the hiring situation may be a racist.

STFU and DIAF, racist.

In most big city courthouse/government complexes, the Police HQ is right next door. One push of that magic button underneath the judge's bench, and the whole place would look something like the last scene from The Blues Brothers.
