That's really a heart rendering story where the kid got done in by a friend of another in Bed Stuy. Probably caused by the white policemen patroling the area.
Where's Al Sharpton commenting on these news events? It's not like a murder occurs everyday in the hood, or does it. Or is it just jungle fever breaking out?
What about the eleven year old that shows up with two handguns. Typical day in the hood? Where's Al Sharpton? Although he tries to be the next Martin Luther King Jr., he is about as close to that as George Bush being the next Thomas Jefferson.
where's al sharpton at when that story of the white kid who put a burning cross on the yard of a black student in Cortlandt manor.
CORTLANDT, N.Y. -- State police arrested a 21-year-old white man on a hate crime charge Thursday in connection with a burning cross found last week in the front yard of a black family.
The suspect is the brother of a girl who was involved in a school fight with a black boy from the family just hours before the cross appeared, Capt. Keith Corlett said at a news conference.
Christopher Hudak of Cortlandt Manor was charged with aggravated harassment, Corlett said. Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore said the case would be prosecuted as a hate crime.
that kid should have used a gun. no body robs with a knife no more. Its to dangerous out there these days.
60%! dang my man obama is living the life! who says blacks don't tip? bitch!
JB,
I would tip 75% if it wan't my money. Bloomberg probably payed for the grits anyway. Was watermelon the breakfast desert?
Councilman Felder probably hates this New Yorker.
Really makes a lot of sense to book a place in New York where the only form of communication is through email. Only dumb people fall for scams.
sup snoop. i aint sure but are you tring to be racialist? if you are then you can suck my dick cracka. if not then my bad. i like watermelon but i don't have it for breakfast. i usually have lunch when i wake up.
