Crazy , who gave him the idea for a hit list for football .
Get him back in school !
We all know this is just the tip of the iceberg!
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.
That's an Obama agenda that lies to all of America.........Obama doesn't want any blacks to be held accountable for their crimes!
This is nothing but black racism, against white America.

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.
