QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Why do the pasts of the victims always become public and rarely or never are the cops? Damn, that is a great question.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) When did you go there, the 1950's? In the 80's when I went it was 30% black while Marist and Laurence were 0%. It dropped a little in the 90's when they had some issues with race but never below 10% and now it is back up to 30%. Do you just sit and make things up? I had no idea it was 30 percent now. My bad. That's cool. I wonder how many African Americans are in Mt. Greenwood now. That's cool if there are a ton in the neighborhood. THere were a lot of racists in Mt. Greenwood when I lived there.

It just amazes me how many ex-White Sox just KILL the White Sox when they get a chance. It's just uncanny. I mean we're talking Beckham and Flowers here, two of the biggest disappointments the Sox have had in a while.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 04:30 AM) Robin has done it all year. He's a clueless clown but Eaton had his chance and there were others. Tonight is on Sale and the pen. Embarrassing loss. Robin is OK, but he lacks urgency and competitiveness and it hurts the team. Someday if we have so much more talent than every other team, he'll be a perfect manager for that team.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 04:18 AM) Embarrassing? Really to who. Some random guy from Kansas on an internet board doesn't approve of his plate discipline. Maybe he will retire. LOL You don't think it'd be better to flip flop Eaton and Anderson? Or bat him sixth? It's embarrassing that drawing a walk is not part of his repertoire. Nothing to do with Anderson ... but embarrassing loss tonight. Sad.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 04:11 AM) Why? He's been doing just great batting leadoff. Are you being negative just for the sake of being negative again? No sir. I LOVE Anderson. But a leadoff hitter has to draw some walks and it's embarrassing, flat out embarrassing that he won't do it.

Can anybody give me one reason Anderson should remain our leadoff hitter?

I love Tim Anderson, but please get him out of the leadoff spot.

Beckham and Flowers are a combined 5 for 8 with three RBIs, lol. I guarantee you there was never a game they combined for five hits as White Sox. Ridiculous, Sox scouts take a bow.

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:47 AM) Navarro brings absolutely nothing to the table. he is literally one of the worst catchers in baseball. Our catching situation is one of the reasons I never considered the Sox a playoff contender.

Coulldn't we have pinch hit for Sanchez there? Conceding the game it seems to me letting him bat.

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:27 AM) Would anyone be shocked if the Sox get swept? No, but we are pretty good outside of the AL Central.

Eaton, a good player, picked a bad time for a horrific at bat. Hate to say Game Over, but it's gonna be tough to make up five runs in three innings. Sad.

This is flat out embarrassing. Beckham and Flowers, who were so bad on a regular basis as White Sox that it was a travesty, are murdering the Sox as members of the Atlanta Braves. Guess the Sox scouts are so bad they don't even know how to get those two stiffs out. Amazing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 06:15 AM) OR people just giving up completely and becoming apathetic and numb. I think many are apathetic and numb both. I've seen some compassion in this thread, but normally I feel like as long as our families are not affected in these tragedies many scoff and say, "It's not that bad; we're still the best country in the world." I think we're in trouble as a nation. One of these is going to be the one that erupts all over the country on the same night with huge riots in most all the major cities. This one may or may not be that one.

That's cool he's in the contest. I don't care if he slumps the second half. It's not like this team is a true contender. Have fun and maybe he'll get that home run stroke going. s***, he tries to hit a home run every at bat anyway. Might as well enter.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 11:47 PM) Brother Rice. Explains a lot. I don't know why nobody else will say they are not thrilled about looking at 50ish transgenders in miniskirts n high heels. I mean it's not a pleasant sight even though they have a right to do whatever they want. I didn't do anything to the person, I just expressed on an internet message board that I did indeed leave the area and did not enter the Subway to eat at the same time as the transgendered woman.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Glad the governor manned up and said what needed to be said. f*** that cop. Nice!!! And tonight Obama is gonna blast away. About time, government officials!!! This was a murder. Five f***ing bullets sitting in your car with a woman and little kid in the car. THIS IS AWFUL!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 09:37 PM) I never understood this irrational fear of color of somebody's skin. Greg, now you've done it...remember your Subway LGBT/bathroom comments? How is there any difference between irrational fear of an African-American or Mexican-American and someone who's LGBT making you feel uncomfortable? How can one be rational and the other not? (Unless you want to argue the whole nature vs. nurture, it's a decision or choice to be LGBT, but who would deliberately choose that with all the prejudice they would face in life?) Caulfield, I wasn't afraid or wanting to physically harm the transgender wearing the dress and heels and stumbling into the Subway. I was trying to be nice on this message board by not saying how I truly felt -- that is, I was losing my appetite looking at her. Am I a sinner for this mental atrocity? Yes. I am not perfect. But at least I'm admitting the sight of her was not pleasing to my eyes. Should I be a better person than that? Sure. I guess I could have sat with the transgendered person at dinner and tried to force myself to not be so dismayed by her appearance, but on that day, my faults as a human being surfaced. Maybe she thinks I'm a gross, ugly MF. She has that right. I've never had a problem with being around African Americans even though at Brother Rice I think we had maybe less than five total black students when I was there. All recruited athletes I think. I truly am colorblind. Believe it.

I'm glad Obama said both he and Michelle were horrified. He needs to speak out against police who are cold blooded killers. Hope there are no riots tonight.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Did this vile excuse for a human being do anything right? Was an ambulance even called? I hope he rots in jail but based on history, he'll walk. Great question. The victim was moaning in the front seat. I think it was caught on tape the moment he died cause the girlfriend commented when he gasped then was silent. The cop had his gun pointed in the car while the man was moaning. I mean I'm very surprised he didn't just finish him off with more bullets. He sure was ready to shoot again. Every cop on the scene should be fired and several should be charged. No ambulance. No nothing, but either committing murder or watching murder be committed.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) What if the cop's bullets killed the kid in the backseat. I can't believe how f***ing reckless that guy was. "f***, f***, f***, I TOLD HIM NOT TO MOVE! I TOLD HIM NOT TO MOVE!" amateur That's what I thought too about the child. Are these cops not trained? What about that situation screamed, "I better shoot this guy five times." Then, "I better treat the other people in that car like criminals. I better make sure that little girl doesn't see her mom for 10 hours by god. I better not feed them or give them water at the police station." WTF America?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) 1. You don't know what assassinated means. A common citizen can never be assassinated. 2. This guy was no teddy bear. He was a career criminal who was convicted of sexual assault against a minor and had other arrests for assault, domestic battery, unlawful entry and felony weapon charges. 3. This guy could not legally carry or own a firearm for the reasons expressed in number 2. Do I think the cops were justified in this killing? Judging the evidence we've seen, probably not. But there are still a lot of missing pieces. That being said I really am not going to cry myself to sleep over the death of a child rapist. Looks like I'm wrong about his character. However whoever shot him should be in the jail for the rest of his life. Life over.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) Shoot someone in the leg while they're in a car? Greg is really the king of trolls. The man was shot five times in the car. He did nothing wrong. If you think he can't shoot once (which would have been too many times) and not shoot to kill when the man is doing nothing than I'd say you are a troll. The guy has a kid in the car. he's doing nothing wrong. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) You guys are white. It must be lovely to be able to tell a cop this and not get blown away. One of the best posts ever. I feel for you. You are at the discretion of these cops making a quick decision deciding whether or not to kill you. I feel for you pettie. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) By no means am I exonerating police everywhere, but the idea that this is "America" is f***ing absurd. What the is, is media reporting on nothing but bad things, because they know it sells. Violence sells. Turning people on one another sells. There is much more good going on in America than bad, and I don't need "statistics on police shootings" to know that. Why so defensive. This is America sad to say. Two murders of black men who were doing nothing wrong. Executions. And they are not yet charged with murder? QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) People murdering other people is an issue that will be here until the end of days. It's not irrelevant and people aren't really saying it is. When you have representatives of the government slaughtering their citizens, it's a big f***ing deal. We pay cops to protect and serve. A busted tail light ending with a murder of a citizen is atrocious. Start f***ing charging these cops and convicting them FFS. Amen. It's a huge deal. this is pure slaughter and many people are numb to it. Nobody even checked for a pulse on the man they butchered and shot five times. I mean total disregard of human life. That cop should be in jail held without bond. QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) If you could live a day in black man's shoes, you might have a different perspective. I always feel like I have emasculate myself so that I don't scare the s*** of white people. This is exhausting but it is what it is. You probably don't get people clutching their purses when you get within a certain vicinity of them. You don't have people see you as a dangerous human being even though you'd never hurt a fly. I never understood this irrational fear of color of somebody's skin. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 7, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) What ever happened to that military grade mace? Yes. I should stop talking about tazing and turn to mace. If a cop just HAS to attack an innocent person, why not a simple shot of pepper spray to the face then tackle him. At least it's not a sentence of death. Five bullets to the passenger? And the officer is not charged with cold blooded murder yet? Sorry officer. You f***ed up. You shot an innocent man five times. You sir are going to jail for the rest of your life. If that cop is not convicted of murder, I think America officially has jumped the shark and it will be all downhill from here. No possible reason for that cold blooded killer to ever leave a prison cell again. Solitary please for the rest of his life.

Please watch this woman explain the murder of her boyfriend. This is a f***ing disgrace. This is America??? What the f*** is going on? He was assassinated!!!!!! And after the cold blooded murder the woman was treated like a criminal as well. Separated from her kid? Cops f***ing with her facebook page?? Taking her phone?? What the f*** did she do?? What the f*** did her boyfriend do? http://video.startribune.com/girlfriend-wh...ened/385878211/
