She didn't catch him and she wasn't defending her daughter in real-time.

She would get a lesser charge and sentence because of the circumstances. She may even get off in some courts. But, she's still a vigilante and that's not acceptable.

Actually, she pretty much walked away from the charges, except for probation (I think).

I should have used a better example: A lady who was pregnant was attacked by another woman who wanted her baby. The pregnant lady killed the other one in self defense.

Jitterbug, I agree with you. If anybody touches 'an one of my babies, all sanity goes out of the window. It may be vigilante justice, but in the words of my man Samuel L. Jackson, "Yes I killed 'em and I hope they burn in hell".

Jase Whitlock would have some credibility if he didn't whore himself out to institutions that don't have our best interests in mind.

I think I love you. I have been feeling some kind of way about this dude's perspectives for a minute now, and I think you just put your finger right on it. ..but then again, columnists, unlike reporters, are paid to stir it up, generate buzz.

only one thing left to ask: is Jason Whitlock his real gub'ment name? lol

CTFU. Yes, Jason Whitlock is the gentleman's real gubmint name, as far as I know.

JW can spread his message to a lot of our institutions if he chooses to do so. As you're aware, not everyone in the AfAm community is a straight up and down leftist. There are people in the center (as I am) and even on the right.

And it's true that pure columnists are paid to get people talking. I write a column as part of my reporting duties, but I make sure that I keep myself out of it because it's more of a news roundup thing.

I agree. I think it's his sweeping assumptions that anyone who doesn't share his position is somehow an apologist for what he deems "counter-culture" behavior. Somebody needs to tell dude that black folk were on the self-help tip long before Larry Elder, Walter Washington, and of late, Bill Cosby, came along. :)

I have friends who send me his columns all the time. Knowing where he's coming from, they're usually deleted....unopened.
