Young student who was just starting to get his life together Thug gets shot while attempting to rob a house; young thug’s relatives are outraged.
“You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood. You have to understand, how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point of view,” Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris said.
If it were me, I would pay for school clothes by getting a job, but then, I guess, that’s my white male privilege talking.
It amuses me that the person making the quote was named after a line of clothing.
Thanks to the current Administration, unemployment among young black men has doubled, making it difficult to get a job. If #BlackLivesMatter really cared, they would be starting businesses to employ these young black men.
I don’t know, whenever I’m short of cash, I consider robbing a house. Unbelievable, just unbelievable.
And yet the vunnable mindset is that “you owes me fo’ slavery an’ all dat fo’ shizzle, cracka!”
Sorry, but my ebonics is rusty. Does anyone speak jive here? (Obligatory “Airplane” reference.)

Black Lives Matter is just another creation by the left to keep the blacks on the plantation. The day the young people in the ghetto decide to start earning instead of getting from Uncle Sucker or by force is the day when Black Lives Matter and similar groups will become irrelevant.
I remember there was a Virginia homeowner that leftists claimed was racist for shooting a 16yo drunk black that broke in his window at 3am. The reason for it was the family said the house several blocks away looked similar on the outside to theirs, so the drunk 16yo must have been mistaken thinking he was breaking his own window. How do they think a drunk 16yo black would react to seeing a white guy in his underwear with a gun coming out of his Moms’ bedroom?
The village voice gives a 1/2 way positive article about TRUMP
http://www.villagevoice.com/news/the-masses-are-revolting-why-the-have-nots-in-the-hamptons-are-pulling-for-trump-8393875
“That’s because a lot of people in the Hamptons are supporting Donald J. Trump. You wouldn’t normally put the words “Hamptons” and “Trump” together unless you were wagering on the guest list for a fundraiser at, say, Howard Stern’s East Hampton estate. But these aren’t normal times”
“Trump’s people out here aren’t in the bought-and-paid-for, outright racist 25 percent who responded to his early campaign dog whistles like Labradors in a duck blind”
The answer: “His parents”.
But then again, why would Black Lives Matter be interested in actually raising and taking care of their own children? That’s acting white.
If you want to understand liberal policy, merely look at it in the context of wanting to render as many people as possible completely helpless, unable to sustain themselves, and wholly dependent and subservient to mob leadership and government.
For example, the overwhelming number of children in poverty are in single-parent households.
So what does the liberal left do?
Penalize married couples (the marriage penalty), degrade and destroy the definition of marriage, and provide incentives for single parents not to work.
End result: millions of children dependent on the government to feed and clothe them and utterly helpless to resist any government command whatsoever.
Pure sickness. Slavery, in fact. But the Obama Party has always been and will always be the party of slave owners and slave holders.
Or, you know, go naked. At least as far as the nearest church or thrift shop that gives the poor free clothes. Lack of clothes doesn’t justify stealing.
This is what happens when you get your news from the Right Wing Spin Machine. What his family is upset about is that he was shot while fleeing. They say because he was running there was no threat and shouldn’t be dead. They say that property is not worth a life and they are sad their relative is dead over “stuff.”

You can disagree with that if you like, but that is a pretty important distinction.
As always context is important.
mikey, what part of V the K’s link did the WP article invalidate? None. In fact, it shows the WP article omitting the context of the comments.
It’s ok mikey, facts are hard.
Of course, when faced with a homeowner, who was defending their property against a criminal thug and who is fully cooperating with police, mikey defends the thug.
This is the nature of the Obama Party. If someone robs or murders you, it’s your fault for having things to steal. You caused them to be envious of you. No one can possibly be held responsible for their behavior, other than you. You deserve to be punished when criminals attack you.
Go right ahead and keep pushing this meme, mikey. It’s what will destroy the Obama Party completely. People should know that Hillary Clinton, who is herself an unindicted criminal, supports and endorses law-abiding citizens being punished for defending themselves against people who seek to rob, rape and murder them.
Also, I state directly that the Obama Party, by telling this young man that other peoples’ property should be his and that he has a right to take it away from them, caused his death.
That makes mikey a murderer. And I feel that is a correct assertion. Mikey’s constant hate speech against hardworking law-abiding citizens encourages criminal attacks against them, and results in those criminals being killed.
Sorry, mike, but felony crime is hazardous work. Myself, I wouldn’t shoot a fleeing burglar that I walked in on… but if I’m home when they come it – it’s lights out for them.
I wondered why she didn’t wait for the cops but then in a lot of places, the cops may not answer an alarm call for hours. And it may just be that the resident has been victimized so many times that she was mad as hell in addition to scared.
Most people that comment here don’t live in places where barred windows are the norm and children sleep in bathtubs to avoid stray bullets.
@4 – Roberto – I like your point. If you want to make a lefty sputter and spit, ask him/her/it what advantage accrues to “other than black” people keeping the black man down.
Do OTB people benefit from the rampant misery, cruelty, and violence that so many blacks create and immerse themselves in?
I may have missed the secret Klan meeting but I can’t think of any benefit.
But I do know of people that benefit royally from dysfunction in places like St Louis and Chicago. Race hustlers like Sharpton live like Fortune 500 CEOs. Members of the SEIU live large on gov’t salaries and benefits managing the ever-growing numbers of people hooked on Uncle Sucker.
The welfare state has created a people that never feel any sense of responsibility (hence the media’s “communities plagued by violence” as if violence is like bad weather – something that happens out of our control). Funny how the white underclass is savaged by the elite (see Kevin Williamson’s revolting screed) for “doing it to themselves”.
If by some magic, racial strife disappeared overnight, most of the people I know would be delighted. But Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, BHO, black lives matter, the armies of bureaucrats, and others would have to find useful work.
@ KCRob: If Williamson had written that about blacks, you would still be hearing about it. It would be condemned as the most horrifically racist things in recent memory. Williamson would be disgraced, and his editor might be in trouble, too. But apparently, people can write anything they want about whites. Remind me how whites are more privileged than blacks?
Reading the link lil letter mike posted, two things stand out. One : one report says the intruder was shot in the back, the says he was shot in the chest. Two : in Florida, a person who breaks into your house is considered dangerous to you (whether they have a weapon or not). Ignorance of the law on the part of the intruder is not an excuse.
Personally, I would hope i wouldn’t shoot someone running away. However, I am not going second guess anyone.
Thankfully so. In fact, because the sight of barred windows looks so out of place to me, it’s one of the first things I notice when traveling and is a caution sign that I’m probably not in the safest of neighborhoods, at least during certain parts of the day.
Nautika Harris:
Well, OMG, Nautika.
1. If every child in the hood has this point of view, then wall up the hood and don’t let them out.
2. Please don’t tell us that every child in the hood was raised to have this “point of view.”
Then littlelettermikey, the fascist issues a ruling: If the perp be on the outward flow, you must not react.
[The “ruling” is based upon “She (the home owner) observed a subject leaving the (her) home through the rear” which was reported by CBCMiami.com as the remark of Det. Dan Ferrin.]
Got it. If the guy is carrying your tv from your house to the car, do not intercede. If the perp has your dog dragging on a leash and heading down the street, let him go.
Oops. My bad. Nautika’s cousin didn’t have anything in his pockets. He mistakenly busted into the wrong house and in his embarrassment he was hastily scooting out the back, empty-handed and with his “innocent” light flashing for all to see.
Mean old skag homeowner should’a cut the gentle technical college whiz kid student a whole boat load of slack for having a future ahead of him and being a funny guy and being very big on education and loving learning. What kind of jerk puts a surveillance system up in the first place. You think a lousy TV or some prescription drugs equal a human life?
Please note: Place TV or prescription drugs on front porch before leaving for the day.
Under traditional English Common Law, and US law, if someone robbed your house in daylight when no-one was home it was consider “breaking-and-entering”. If they entered your home at night it was “burglary” and a hanging-offense.
The rationale was at-night you might be asleep, vulnerable, or members of your family might be menaced, molested or raped…not just robbed. And the standard-of-proof was lower, even “suspicion” or “possession of burglary tools” was often enough for felony conviction.
Very true, Ted and Heliotrope and others; however, one must remember that mikey’s concern is maintaining the Obama Party’s stranglehold on the black voting base, and that requires allowing black people to act like animals and live on the Federal dole in perpetuity.
This is why mikey and his ilk call successful black people like Tim Scott, Condi Rice, Clarence Thomas and others “Uncle Toms” and race traitors — because in the sense that Democrats want black people to be helpless puppets of the Federal government, these people ARE traitors to what the Democrats agree is “correct” black behavior.
@14 KC Rob, I live in a house with bars on the windows, as do all my neighbors. I/we have concertina wire over our fences to deter any break in. My granddaughters don’t sleep in bathtubs because we don’t have any. The bathrooms have showers. My house is in a gated community with security guards, but it’s in El Salvador, where thanks to the marxist government since 2009, the daily homicide rate is 23. This past January, at the invitation of the chamber of Commerce and a businessmens association, Rudy Giuliani, came and evaluated the situation and after three months rendered his suggestions. The minister of security refused to read it, as he announced that the government’s plan, El Salvador Safe was working, the homicide rate jumped to 40 per day. With all of this the gangs have penetrated and are extorting the small business owners and deliverymen. The company that provided us with propane will no longer serve us. Pizza Hut had refused to deliver after sundown, (we don’t have daylight savings time).
What does this have in common with the U.S.A? Leftwing politics! They are toxic, exploit the poor, destroy the countries they govern for personal power.
When my absentee primary ballot arrives I will vote the Donald, with some doubt. I want to know who he would appoint to SCOTUS. Senator Cruz planted the doubt saying that Trump told him he should compromise and negotiate with Schumer and Reid on the appointment.
Thank God for Fox News Network.
OK fine, mikey – how much money are you going to pony up for this unfortunate family?
Checkmate.
Regards,
Peter H.
@21 – Roberto – that’s sounds hellish.
I always figured that being able to move freely without risking one’s life was a basic human right. Looks like I was wrong.
Mark Steyn has written about pleasant-looking neighborhoods in the UK where people only go out in daylight.
“What his family is upset about is that he was shot while fleeing”
Fleeing towards the homeowner? That’s a new one.
It would be nice, mike, if you would stop making excuses for criminals and their friends.
