Can We Get Thomas Wortham's Dad To Talk To Brian Floyd's Mom?

Mr. Baker

I'm an urban black man born and raised in a cosmopolitan, culturally eclectic city -- and my opinions reflect that mish-mash.

The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the diseased tree. Stupid is as stupid does.

 

Not to be mean - ok, the hell with being PC, I am trying to be mean - but pick and modify your own saying to describe the attitude of Lucille Floyd, whose son Brian died along with Chicago Police officer Tom Wortham IV in a violent shootout. Brian and three of his friends tried to steal the officer's motorcycle before killing him - in front of his father - and being shot at by Wortham's dad.

 

(The elder Wortham gets a hero's badge if I had anything to do with it.)

Ms. Floyd has said that the four morally bankrupt, black-hearted dudes went out for a night of drinking and that the drinking turned into a game of dare to see who had the balls to rob a person at gunpoint.

 

She said: "I don't feel like all those guys have to pay for that one mistake. You know, it was all a mistake on everybody's part, including the people that shot and the one's that died. I feel like we need to let it rest and go on with our lives."

 

She added that because the elder Wortham once was a cop, he should've been able to shoot without killing: "For him to shoot them they way he did, in cold blood ... because being an officer, I feel like he should have had knowledge of how to hit those children without killing them.


Somewhere there's a village missing an idiot.

I can't wait to find out who shot whom first.
