The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

Give it up, already!

The shooting death by the homeowner of burglar Bobby Gadsden, just won't go away. It won't go away simply because of the fact that the New Jersey family who never gave a rat's ass about him before, are now hell bent on getting him some "justice." The more this drama unfolds, the more it looks like  justice = $$$.  The Castle Doctrine clearly sides with the homeowner and the dead burglar's family cannot sue the victim. The truth in this case is that the victim is the homeowner. While the family of the dead burglar do not dispute the fact that he was committing a crime, they just don't think he should have been shot in the head for his troubles.

The family of the burglar has managed to get some slanted media coverage from both the local newspaper  and TV news stations. Their family spokesperson, Sociologist Zoe Spencer, has taken up the cause and there was also a radio blogspot that had 2 separate shows about this subject. A woman by the name of Kheri Hines has put aside any sense of real journalistic ambitions and has obviously sided with the Gadsden family in believing the Castle Doctrine does not pertain to this incident.   I started listening to the second show, only to find myself having mixed emotions. I couldn't make up my mind whether to be bored to death or indignant over the surprising comments Ms. Hines made when callers supported the Castle Doctrine.  She appeared shocked that people would feel so strongly about their guns.  Which I find even more surprising, since she lives in Texas.  And we all know about Texans!  The last thing you want to do is take away their guns.

The Gadsden/Williams family has made this all about race when that was not even in the equation until they put it there. Tyler Williams, an uncle of slain burglar Bobby Gadsden, has asked for a federal Department of Justice investigation, believing that both the local and state law enforcement agencies have conspired to cover up the true facts surrounding his death. Supporters of the Gadsden/Williams crowd have gone so far as to call the homeowner a "murderer." You know, in my 'hood, them's fightin' words!


I am surprised that 3 weeks after the incident, the most they've been able to dig up is an educated sociologist such as Ms. Spencer. Ms. Spencer spoke at a news conference called by the family and she read a list of what they say are inconsistencies in this investigation.  They retained the services of a pathologist and a private investigator, even obtaining crime scene photos.  These photos were displayed as trophies during Spencer's speech.  They have more questions and the story changes once again. Inconsistencies is right.  Now there's suddenly a crowbar at the crime scene that wasn't there before. This is like a game of Clue.

If this is such a racial injustice, where are all the civil rights leaders?
If anything, this is an injustice to the homeowner for having to defend himself twice: defending himself and his property from a 21 year old burglar who could barely finish high school and has a criminal record, and for defending his actions against the asinine and ignorant mentality perpetrated by liberal morons who seem to think that their brothas and sistas can do no wrong.

Then there is the drama queen, Wanda [full of] Bull -shit who has taken it upon herself to become an unofficial spokesperson for the family's fan club.  I have never seen a more confrontational, antagonistic, bigoted, fact-twisting, nut case.  Trust me when I tell you that I've met a lot of nut cases.  Periodically, she writes on the Truth About Bobby Gadsden Facebook page and that always manages to stir up emotions, goading people in to her narrow minded little world.  Some just like reading her idiotic postings as a means of entertainment.
I am one of those. Guilty as charged. I just can't help myself.
Ms. Bull is now on a mission to get the Truth page shut down, claiming there is hate and racism all over it.
I can't seem to find what the hell she's talking about....even with my glasses on.

I think it's time the liberal media got it's head out of it's proverbial ass and started a deeper investigation.  For instance; why can't they get a more detailed statement from law enforcement in an effort to refute the family's allegations?  I'll tell you why...they PISSED OFF THE POLICE!  Law enforcement has better things to do than pander to the family's frequent tirades.  How about maybe a REAL journalist try to find out some facts from the District Attorney/Solicitor's office?  After all, law enforcement specifically said that they consulted with their office before closing the case on the shooting.

Here's a better idea....Give it up and go back to Jersey!

Nicely done. Unfortunately, you are a racist for pointing to facts and ignoring emotion and money. So there. Take that. :)

It's always theatrics. Shaniqua & Leroy would be so proud, don't ya think?
The facts seem to be invisible to many people and there's always the make-it-up-as-we-go-along rule.

for a whitey suburbanite that once lived in the ghetto in another country (mexico) this whole story is like a trainwreck... i can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that there are people who aren't related to bobby who actually geniounly believe that the victim is in the wrong.

having said that, i still say the vast majority of people of all political philosophies would agree the victim did the right thing morally and legally. bobby gadsen chose a line of work with significant risk, and he got what was coming.
