I don't think the kid deserved to die.....but by the same token I can give a perfect example of the type of kid as above.....hokiewolf said:None of what you stated above makes me think this kid deserved to dieBBW12OG said:Seriously? Wow.....Here is what I based my comments on from what I saw on his Facebook post:Quote:
For someone who doesn't want to be judged or the leftists to convict the officer without due process, you sure have put a lot of judgement into what a 20 year old posts on Facebook with the respect to their character.
- 20 year old kid with a .45 Caliber pistol which he is not old enough to purchase/own
- Flashing KNOWN gang sings for the area
- Flashing "stacks of cash"
- Drugs/paraphernalia all over his Facebook pics
- UNEMPLOYED
- Numerous outstanding warrants including at least ( 2 ) failure to appears
- Video shows him arguing with the officers, resisting arrest, jumping in his car and driving away
What would your determination be about this "fine outstanding individual?"
You can dress it up however you want just to be contrarian. I get it. You have tried to debate with me before and it didn't work out so well for you.
Your comment reminds me of CNN standing in front of burning buildings while the chyron at the bottom read "peaceful protests."
Again... everyone knows who this kid was. There are thousands like him all over the country. It's embraced by many in their culture and that's all they ever strive to be. Until that changes this won't be the last story we read like this.
But at the end of the day. He was a good kid that just liked to break the law, argue with LEOs, resist arrest, fail to show up for his court dates, brandished an illegal .45 caliber pistol while flashing money, drugs etc all over social media... meanwhile having zero discernible employment history.
Damn....sounds like most of our very own childhoods right Hokie?
I lived in a neighborhood off of the River Ridge golf course in Raleigh from 2014-2016. During that time I had a kid just like the one mentioned above move in across the street from me and was an absolute terror. Kid shot up my house one night because he could. Fortunately it was just with a .22, otherwise it could of ended very badly for my wife and I. We were in bed asleep and one of the bullets actually went through the wall of our bedroom and got hung up in the dresser that was against the wall, but directly in front of our bed where we slept. The police couldn't do anything at the time because even through they could prove the the bullets came from the kids house, they couldn't prove it was him.
I had a friend that was a private investigator that i reached out to to find out about my neighbor, and as it turned out, even though he was just 20 at the time he had already been arrested for assaulting a woman, resisting arrest, assault with a weapon, among other things. He should of never of been out to shoot my house to start out with and it is a mystery to me as to why he was. I moved out because i didn't want to live next to someone who was willing to shoot up my house. A few weeks after i move out i get a call from the neighbor telling me to turn on the news...apparently the kid had shot someone in the neck right in the street in front of my house.
So did the kid that this thread was originally about deserve to die....nope. In saying that 99% of the time it ends up one of two ways for people who are on that path...in the ground or in jail. The cop should be held to account for what she did....but at the same time the kid tried to escape while being arrested and there are consequences for that as well. Unfortunately for the guy who was shot the consequences were extreme, and he didn't deserve to die, but his death was the consequence of his action.
Just in case you guys think i'm full of it with my story....here is an article for it: https://wfncnews.com/15363/man-charged-in-shooting-at-raleigh-home
Edit - Just because I was curious i looked the kid up again after i finished my post above. He was arrested again in 2019....http://johnstoncounty.today/johnston-county-nc-arrests-mugshots?option=com_arrest&view=arrests&p=2&lastname=&firstname=&city=&month=4&day=18&year=2019&charge=
How do you get out of jail after what he was charged with....
