There are plenty of poor white moms who get quoted on TV calling their sons "good kids" who "got in with the wrong crowd" or who were "in the wrong place at the wrong time" after they rob, shoot, or kill someone.<BR/><BR/>As a friend of mine says, knuckleheads don't listen to anyone--not a black leader, white leader, father, or mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-47763008006955888502008-01-17T10:19:00.000-05:002008-01-17T10:19:00.000-05:00I just seem to have a problem with the scales, guns and video surveilance found in this house and a father's denial that this was not a drug house.<BR/>Always, without exception, there is always denial from those in the black community whose sons and daughters and grandchildren would never be involved in such activities resulting in heinous crimes such as this.<BR/>Denial, denial and more denial even when death visits you in the dark of night or in the bright of a sunny afternoon.<BR/>Someday, someone with guts in the black community will say: "Enough is enough.

He admitted he was a recovering drug user, and that his daughter had quite a problem with marijuana. She was robbed last September at gunpoint in the home. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Hunt said he, his ex-wife, and his mother had tried repeatedly to get his daughter to move out of the neighborhood, but his daughter refused. He talked to her 45 mins. before she and her child were fatally shot. Thankfully for him, it was a warm, loving conversation.<BR/><BR/>He insisted his daughter was not a drug dealer, but was a heavy pot user. <BR/><BR/>Hold all your indignant questions (and there are PLENTY) until after Saturday--the day he buries his daughter and grandson. The grandchild's second birthday would've been Feb. 6.<BR/><BR/>A multi-generational human tragedy. This man's pain was palpable through the radio airwaves. I'm guessing it hit many folks like it did me--tears ran down my face. <BR/><BR/>RIP, Ms. Hunt, Ms. Yarrell and babies.<BR/><BR/>What a senseless waste.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
