Crazy , who gave him the idea for a hit list for football .
Get him back in school !

What a bunch of rubbish. Grow up, do what you are told and stop acting like a victim. If you are an idiot, you will be punished. White, black, red whatever. So sick of this nonsense.

If it is a minority it must be a liberal thing as far as they are concerned. and until they either change their minds or just fade away there will be no change .Eventually with better education the majority will win out and we are almost a majority now.
