It is unusual to have a female thug. However, society is seeing more of these "animals" evolve to terrorize good people. It is the typical action of low-lifes like this to blame others for their problems and lash out any anyone and everyone.
She has been arrested. Now have a trial, convict her, and give her the needle. Soon she will not have to worry about all her troubles. She will be joining Miguel Antonio DeJesus and Diego Ortiz in the hereafter.
I wonder if Quanell X will show up to condemn the killing of Derick Bernard Byers? Probably not!

Well said.....this is an example of the "cult of victimization." She had every opportunity to get a good education, good career and a value added life that she could of been proud of...yet she adhered to a culture of thugging, mugging, theivery and murder. A culture that says that a human being is a disposable as a cigarette lighter. Quanell X can talk about "his people" all he wants but in listening to him, I have not found anything substantiative that would suggest that "his people" have to rise up against this, which makes him part of the problem instead of the solution.
damon: Well said. People make choices everyday. That is a part of life. She made the choice to be a thug. She made the chocie to be a thief. She made the choice to be a criminal. Now the courts will made a choice to take her to trial. The jury will choose to convict her and jusy will choose to sentence her to death.
I think Quanell X will show up in this sooner than later. He cannot stay away from the spotlight and anything that gives him more publicity.
