You have a legit point there. Not enough Scottish: NCAA coaches or players, NBA coaches or players, NFL coaches or players, NHL players or coaches ect. ect. ect.

I remember a popular poster here once said that American blacks suffer from “We Be Owed” syndrom.

Why is it that I don’t hear Orientals, Irish, Slavic people, Indians (from India), Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Indians (from America), Germans, Greeks, Italians or pretty much any other ethnic group bellyaching like blacks do. I mean just about every ethnic group in the world has been enslaved or treated horribly by some other ethnic group at some time during history and yet blacks act like they have a franchise on it. GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!! Go out and rent “Braveheart” and see how crappy the Scots were treated by the English. I’m part Scottish so I DEMAND the queen of England come and apologize to me and also write me a big check.

I bet he is very good at stealing bases. His problem is he denies he stole them, then beats up the umpire.

“Aren’t convicts, even if they are little angels, forbidden to have guns?”

I had wondered that, too. But I think the answer lies in here:

“Because he was a juvenile when he pleaded guilty to the previous crimes, Scott said Bell is not considered to have a criminal record.”

Isn’t that handy?

So how the did the little angel get a gun? Aren’t convicts, even if they are little angels, forbidden to have guns?

I hope Dillard’s sues Louis Scott for retailer-profiling and all those slanderous remarks.

I’ll tell you…..with no father figure in the home and the likes of Wright, Farra”CON”, Sharpton, Jackson, 50 Cent, Lil Kim ect.as a role model, it is no wonder why they are like this. No morals are taught to them at a young age anymore so once they hit the teens they are out of control …..with gangsta rap as there one true god and a ill concieved thought pattern if they are DISSED they must kill the perpetrator or face ridicule from their peers. We now are in the midst of a generation with NO social graces and plain ol’ socio-paths. In laymans terms…..they simply don’t give a shit!!

Don’t you all know he was Christmas shopping for his mom and Grandma? Of course, his intentions were good , but he got caught when he left without paying for the presents.

I do wish that there would be those who would look seriously at black crime and black retention rates in prison without playing the race card. What has happened to this segment of the population?

From the NO Times-Picayune, it looks like some close to Bell think it was a suicide attempt:

According to a Monroe police report, Melissa Bell, Bell’s mother, and Rosie Simmons, his grandmother, said Bell had been depressed since his Christmas Eve arrest. His relatives said after being released on bond he talked of not being able to continue living as he endured more negative media attention.

On Tuesday, Monroe attorney Carol Powell-Lexing told CNN that Bell was cleaning the handgun when it accidentally went off.

Another lawyer, Louis Cook, told the Associated Press that after talking with family members, he believes Bell deliberately injured himself because he was afraid the arrest would ruin any chance he has to play college football.

The article also notes that “a panel of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association denied his petition for an additional year of eligibility that he lost while in jail.”

Well one can only wonder if he cleans his room half as well as he cleans his gun.

This is interesting in light of a video I came across this weekend re the untold story of gun confiscation post Katrina:

Louis Scott, a lawyer who has represented Bell in the past, said that preconceived notions on the part of Dillard’s employees may have played a role in Bell’s arrest.

“Dillard’s has a tradition of being overly suspicious of young black males,” Scott said.

No, Mr. Scott, retail stores like Dillard’s are suspicious of anyone who looks like a thug and is lurking around doors with merchandise in their hands. I would submit to you that someone who goes shoplifting with a gun just might qualify as someone to be suspicious of.

Look at Mychal’s innocent baby face! I’m sure none of this was his fault, right?

Racially profiling for criminal activities is not unethical. Surprisingly, it’s not even illegal.
