Update on tourist bus robbery

They have a word for the white-black mix: Mulatto.

They might have a word for it but in reality the word for white black mix is: Black

After just watching Sin Nombre, I am still sad over the 'gang world' where people, children can be
maimed or killed for no reason,other than the guy in power says so.

I'd like to believe that this particular death was'in house'....the criminals who all know and accept
'the code' decided this was a loose canon and he was gone.

I agree that we probably aren't going to have a whole lot of tourist buses held up for a long long while.

The poster who said that this type of justice is all well and good if you are on the side that isn't killed...
well yeah. But if this turned out to be some punk who was just poor, stupid, and this was a first time deal...
then I guess I don't want to believe that. I hope they got the right guy and that he was a bad dude.

Thinking about my own sitch, I gotta say that if I could get a message to the peeps who did this,
I sure might .

As a US. Supreme Court Justice once said: Justice? Sure, we have justice. Just how much justice can you afford?

Despite all of the flaws in the legal systems worldwide (especially in the states), I'd hate to think what the world would be like if this type of "justice" was an accepted manner of dealing with these types of problems. It's murder, no matter what any of you say or believe, and I believe we'd be in a world of shit if we didn't have some type of laws to discourage people from attempting easy pickings, as in the case of the tourist bus. One has to hope, at the very least, that they killed the right guy. I can never accept in my mind any one person, or group for that matter, that consider themselves so high and mighty that they have the right to be the judge, jury and executioner.

Does that include Halle Berry?

There are blacks and then there are babes...

[casanino]

So black women can't be "babes"'? Totally wrong! Also, Halle Berry said that the most important thing her (white) mother taught her was that society would see and treat her as a black woman. For better or worse, it is the truth in American society.

Thats some of the craziest shit I heard today.
Anyways....I've never heard anyone call H B mullato.
I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've heard that reference.

I'll tell you what I told my daughter when she told me that she would have been allowed to sit in the front OR the back of the bus.....I said,"your ass would have been in the back and only in the back...don't you forget it."

I never said that. Stop jumping to the wrong conclusions. Babes come in all races.
