"what is wrong with people?" is what nathaniel says every time he sees something whacko crazy happening in the world. like when a college student gets robbed (and murdered) for his/her money.
really. what is wrong with people?
now to continue quoting people, i must add a comment my dad made. (i think it was my dad who said it. maybe it was nathaniel.) "when are they gonna figure out college students are broke?"
really. when are they gonna figure out that college students are broke?
2 robbery murders in durham/CH? 2 robberies at NCSU? these not-so-bright criminals are REALLY barking up the wrong tree.
ok, so i just have to say it. not only what is wrong with "people", what is wrong with those 2 dumb kids from durham? using an atm card of the girl they just killed? not wearing a disguise? using her phone to call their friends? OH MY GOD. it is a dissappointment that the 17 year old can't get the death penalty. because that is the only place that the world could be safe from him.
did you see that BOTH of the eve carson murderers were due in wake co. court LAST week for robbery? and both had a rap sheet? WHY WERE THEY FREE??? and who braided their hair since last week? shouldn't we find out who was helping them hide and arrest them too?
i suppose in a weird sort of way, we can thank our poor judicial system for the death of that poor girl. and that poor guy back in january. because if the justice system had done its job in the first place, those fellows would have been behind bars.
ok, so this is as much as i can say or quote without using words like "durham", "black", and "nuke".
oh wait. i already said durham.
In addition to just being tragic, these sort of things always concern me because of our tendancy to white wash an entire race because of the actions of one (or two).
ReplyDeleteI read in the paper yesterday someone said, "No one thinks every white person (guy) is like Timothy McVey or the guys who shot up Columbine High School in Colorado".
That's true.
So, we have to keep our heads about us in this case, too.
Having said that, there IS an issue in this country, I believe, with youth in general and certain races specifically NOT getting the guidance/discipline they need to make appropriate life decisions.
Why aren't our prospective candidates talking more about THIS and WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT?
Ok, sorry; but, it was your "Durham" "Black" "Nuke" comment that threw me a bit...I guess I misunderstood what you were saying.
