Making the Streets Safe for Thugs

Obama says, [Thug who assaulted armed citizen] could have been him 35 years ago.

As of this past Monday, we are no longer using the names of the people involved in that situation down in Florida that ENDED last week.

No, Obama, it couldn't have been you.  For one thing, you probably never went to the john by yourself, let alone out on the street.  For another, I'm pretty sure you never threw a punch in your life.  The Wookie would put up a better fight.

The beauty of Obama's empty rhetoric is that it occasionally borders on common-sense, until it veers off into utter bravo sierra.  Thus, after teasing reason, Obama asks:

If [stupid teenage thug wannabe] was of age and armed could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? And do we actually think that he would have been justified in shooting [armed citizen who was attacked and beaten by teenage thug], who had followed him in a car, because he felt threatened?

 Here's the thing, Obama, you stupid, race-baiting, gun-grabbing dumbass, the man who was on the ground having his head pounded against a concrete sidewalk did not FEEL threatened. He had been attacked, assaulted and battered, and, because the attacker would not stop despite the victim's cries for help and inability to resist, he feared for his very life.  And, yes, ANYBODY, who is in that position has the unquestionable, God-given right to defend himself or herself by any means available, and to deny anyone that ability by legal restriction is to be a party to mayhem and potentially murder. 

The good part of Obama's otherwise idiotic statement is that appears to put to rest the possibility of any potential federal charges against the victim of the assault.  Also, he does seem to acknowledge that at least part of problem is the worldview of young black urban males.  It is not that they don't feel "valued", however.  Rather it is that they are enabled to live as parasites on society.  We already offer too many people with no accomplishments too much in the way of self-esteem.  If these kids could and would get jobs, even if it was manual labor, they would gain a sense of value. 

The black kids I knew growing up were farm boys just like me.  We all worked.  We knew what it was to earn an honest dollar the hard way.  Those guys didn't turn out like this.  Of course, they also all knew who their father was.  He was present, teaching, guiding and correcting.  They were oriented toward family and church and community. 

You want to help black youth, Obama?  Shutdown the government gravy train and let the private sector rebuild.  Get the government out of the black family's business.  Encourage marriage.  Stop subsidizing out-of-wedlock births and making black women look to the government as their man.
