Look at all theses posts while we see hundreds of teen and child gang murders every week. Yet no comments. I wonder why.

LOL. the apology was for bad typos and mood I let others put me in,not for my opinion on this topic so far.
Unlike you and others I have not completely sided with either just didn't like the social lynching from hater libs who have already tried and convicted these two men because of the color of their skin on social media.
It is not politically correct to tell the truth,only to hate on men ,especially white men who actually have a job unlike most liberals and give back to society instead of take and create crimes.

The fact is, a man is dead which is a tragedy. I believe we should all take a step back and let the facts unfold before rushing to judgement one way or another. It's a pity that our country has to be so deeply divided, and that all our opinions are shaped by the media.
I agree. We are so divided now it is not good for any of us,while we hate on each othe those who are coming in will conquor us both. I don't see being ruled by other cultures will benefit Americans.
C’est Moi ! I didn’t direct my post to any particular person so there was no attack of anyone. Secondly I’m not trying to solve anything in my complaint. Thirdly I have seen plenty of posts of yours directly criticizing certain members, so I’m not sure why you’re so quick to jump in here with such comments.
LOL!

First off, if you are referring to my use of "calls 'em as I sees 'em," as so called "thug lango (sic)," the quote is attributed to Casey Stengel:
American Language and Usage says:
"The correct answer [to where this quote comes from] is the great Casey Stengel when he charged home plate in a series game when he managed the Yankees.
Stengel's batter, with 2 out and having a full count, did not swing on pitch number 7. The home plate umpire yelled "Strike 3!" Casey was furious, as were most of the Yankee fans. He charged the umpire and got in his face, screaming as only Casey could do. The umpire responded in a clearly Brooklyn accent of the period: "I calls 'em as I sees 'em." It was loud enough for a NY sports reporter to hear the words and write them down."
It's not "thug lingo," but an old baseball quote. My dad used to use the phrase, and that was long before there was anything called "thug lingo."
Secondly, you have no idea why I care. I care because this was the unnecessary and unlawful taking of a young man's life. I do not give a rat's patoot about whether my opinion is PC or not.
Thirdly, you are characterizing the young man as a thug simply because he was black and curious about a construction site. It wasn't anybody's home at the time; it was an open construction site and even the owner of the property said he didn't care about the young man's looking around.
Have a lovely day.
Thanks for history lesson ,nice story. I won't argue with over the fact that trespassing is illegal therefore a crime. Or the owner being very careful not to upset anyone. And thank you I am having an ok day so far.
