Black man shot in Kenosha, riots starting all over again...

[foszoe]

Percentage wise, it is a little less than "all". How about .001%?

But defending bad shoots is one of the reasons why we are here today with a country closer to racial disharmony than at any time in the last 30 years.

It's that 1989 case

Seems like a handful of us have all the answers.

Those who never have been on the front lines are often the most certain of their positions and correctness.

All from the warmth and security of one's home (or other place nice enough to be able to post stuff on a message board).

Yeah but if you want the real right answers you'll have to p.m. me I only answer with the correct answer in p.m.

 

[larcat]

Huh, not what I was expecting.

Thought maybe "28 years ago would like a word."

It's that 1989 case

 

[SheepDog4Life]

I haven't heard that the sexual assault charges were dropped. Only that the warrant had been "vacated". I don't know what that means exactly. Could it mean that since he was in the hospital and basically in custody, that the warrant was no longer needed, but that the charges were still in effect?

He was in the hospital, under custody, which meant cuffed to the hospital bed and an officer outside. That is no longer the case.

And, I think you're right, warrant vacated but it's not clear on the outstanding charges and complaint.

 

[Alpo]

Agree.

But that earlier incident is still a bit strange. She needed a rental car to drive from Kenosha to Milwaukee cuz her car wouldn't make the 42 mile trip?

This whole incident says something else might have been going on.

 

[Trigger Time]

No. I am never okay with civil forfeiture. It is one of the things that corrupts law enforcement.

Yes it does

Does any of it make the scumbag rapist look worthy of burning down a city over? Or, as is more likely, the fact that he's black and the officer was white make all of his sins forgiven? Really just over all of this crap. Sometimes a scumbag is just a scumbag and needs to be taken out of circulation, regardless of race. Ben Crump notwithstanding.

You shoot a Hitler in the back in front of his 3 kids, and I'd probably object.

Even if this guy was a sexual predator, you don't kill him in front of his kids. That he is not dead is karma.

Were they definitely "his" kids? Or just the kids of his baby-mama? And I would not have hesitated to kill Hitler in front of his kids (if he had any). Why did he put his kids into that situation? Does he share no blame for that? You're way more forgiving (and encouraging of bad behavior) than I am I guess.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Hopefully his kids learned a lesson. Don't be a scumbag and rape the mother of your children, take her keys and try to steal her car with your (alleged) kids and maybe, just maybe, you won't get shot.

Yeah. They are his kids... as reliable as witnesses and the media contend. But, even with their track record, it's pretty certain they were his kids.

How did he put them in that situation? What, he volunteered to get shot in the back?

As many people who have exes on this site, it is just possible that you have an angry woman arguing with her "ex" about taking the kids out for the day. We really don't know at this point. But, I've known too many pitbulls with lipstick to say that Blake brought this all down on himself. I think there is a strong possibility that we don't know the whole story.

 

[nipprdog]

How did he put them in that situation?

When he resisted arrest, and fought with the officers.

Wait a second, I thought that wasn't his car, or his kids?

Did the facts in this case change for a 3rd time?

It may have been someone else's car.

My reading so far, based on witnesses speaking to the press is that he was taking his kids out for one of the boy's birthday. He apparently has 4 kids.....3 were in the car?

The wintesses I mention were both, black white, old and middle-aged and had known Jacob for a number of years.

Of course, that could be wrong. But it is what I've read and you can read as well should you wish to look at the various articles around the net.

 

[BugI02]

I thought they were his kids? Hmm?

What, the Mom was just a breeder? Their not his unless he has custody, and I doubt he wanted them in his life except on his terms

 

[Alpo]

Moving out of oil and gas to social psychology now?

Stick with your day job.

 

[BugI02]

No, because post-shooting quotes in the press/video claim that his 3 kids (oldest 8 y.o.?) witnessed their dad being shot by the cop.

And stolen? I could think of a situation whereby it was his car, or he made the payments on the vehicle. And since his kids were in the car, there is likely more to the story than "black dude stole car keys while threatening with knife". Can't you?

And just because you or I may have a storybook marriage doesn't mean that everybody does...or even that we represent a majority of present 21st century relationships.

Not germane. Jacob Blake is not married to the mother of his children, although she calls herself his fiancé. At least an 8yr engagement? Yeah, whatever

Just as I don't like to listen to hours of the other side, I prefer not to wade through hours of our own bull****.

Maybe some general summary/analysis of the links you want to draw our attention to?
