Lots of questions surrounding the Joe Horn case

Hello again, blogfans!

Those of you who read here often know that I cannot stand hypocrisy or inconsistency when it comes to questions of race. The yardstick you use to judge one SHOULD be the yardstick you use to judge all. Which brings me to the question; would anyone be at all upset about what Joe Horn did if the perpetrators he executed had been white?

Of course not!

Which means, dear "Horn haters," that you are guilty of taking a non-racial issue and attempting to turn it into one! Shame on you!

Would Horn have done the same thing if the perpetrators had been white?

Yup!

End of discussion, as far as I'm concerned!

But then, there's the hate that's come out towards poor old Joe and the death threat that was actually phoned into the DA! Uh, that leads to a whole new series of questions, doesn't it?

To the Horn haters:

1. If you were in Horn's shoes and someone were burglarizing the home next to yours, TELL me that you wouldn't do EXACTLY what he did to protect yourself and your property!

2. The burglars were found with bags of cash that they had stolen from Horn's neighbor. Police had not arrived yet and neither criminal seemed willing to wait quietly for them to arrive. TELL me you wouldn't have pulled the trigger in the same situation!

3. Do you think, Horn haters, that you would be upset about any of this if the burglars that Horn executed had been white?

4. I know it's hard to believe, but white guys DO commit crime in Houston from time to time. When police kill a white guy during the commission of a crime, where's Quantrell X and his posse? Why don't they find the killing of a white man by police just as heinous as they supposedly find THIS killing? Do they actually believe that Horn was racially motivated to do what he did?

Quantrell, when you start attending the funerals of white guys and bemoaning their deaths the way you do for black victims, you'll gain some credibility in my eyes. Until then, you're nothing but a suit-wearing clown and a wind-up jack-in-the-box that chants the same song over and over again whenever your hate-fired master turns your crank.

Quantrell, as far as I'm concerned, you can take your tired act right on out of town until you can figure out how to apply your yardstick consistently. Until then, feel free to stay away!
