If you are a basketball fan, Christmas was our day. there were FIVE GAMES on in one day. And for the most part, we were able to watch basketball from 9:00am until 9:30pm. And the only game that shouldn’t have been played being the Clippers against the Suns. The Clippers??? Who the hell wants to watch the Clippers? But I digress. the featured game of the day was the Los Angeles Lakers against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron against Kobe. Shaq back in Los Angeles. The two teams the league has been trying to wish into the finals. But it wasn’t the game that will be remembered by those who saw it. It is the fan revolt. Laker’s fans, used to getting BULLSHIT CALLS, especially at HOME, were mad because the refs let them play. And to show their displeasure, they threw the five-away foam fingers and some water bottles onto the floor . But what seems to have been missed in all of this is the FACT that the picture on the fingers is a GANG SIGN for Los Angeles!
I didn’t really look at the fingers as they were raining down from the stands. I was just GITTY that the Lakers were getting DEALT WITH, at HOME, on CHRISTMAS, for ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. It was a day later, after seeing the picture did I see the Gang Sign on the foam fingers. Here is a picture of the sign. The first picture is the original picture. The second picture turns to foam finger “right side up” so you can see EXACTLY what I am talking about. And here is the proof that this is an OLD SCHOOL gang sign for Los Angeles.

I don’t know if this was a new promotion or what. What I do know, after working with at-risk gang members for over 5 years, is what the different gang signs mean. And that includes gang signs that are local, statewide, or national. And the the picture on the foam fingers passed out to thousands of fans, was indeed a gang sign!
I’d love to know what the thought process was in deciding to try and pass off a gang sign in a Los Angeles Lakers game promotion. And I would love to know which person, who surely didn’t create the hand sign themselves, decided to promote the Lakers as a gang. Either way, the past can’t be changed. And the fact remains, the Lakers got DEALT WITH on Christmas and the Promotion that had a gang sign on it went terrible wrong!

If you have been paying attention to the news, you couldn’t help but hear about the teenage girl who was gang raped by upwards of 10 people while other people stood around filming this with their cellphones, laughing and cheering. Not only did these LOSERS either participate in the gang rape or watch it, but NO ONE alerted the authorities. This girl was gang raped, beaten, ROBBED, and left for dead. I’ve seen the affects of child molestation and/or rape when I worked at the Teen Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. So I know that they NEVER get over what was done to them. And for that reason alone, EVERYONE involved should spent time in prison, INCLUDING those people who watched at did NOTHING! Having said that, and here is where you might disagree with me, the girl MUST take some of the blame for what happened to her!
When I first heard about this event, I was wondering what kind of ANIMAL would do something like this. What would make them think that what was happening was “cool.” The oldest person involved with this tragedy is 32yrs old and the youngest MALE is said to be 15yrs old. That these CREATURES who CAME FROM A WOMAN would stand by and watch as if this was some kind of movie, is unfathomable. I’d love to know what these SUBHUMANS are going to tell their mothers, aunts, sisters, and grandmothers, about the role they played in this event. I want to know how they would feel if it was their MAMA who was GANG RAPED, for over 2 HOURS, while people stood around watching. I wonder would this still be “cool?”
I’m aware of “group think.” And I know that standing apart from the crowd can be lonely. But at the end of the day, you have to look yourself in the mirror and be able to live with what you do. And if you are a religious person, you are going to have to explain your actions to your maker. And I’m sure, a few days after the fact, some of these boys wish they would have “stepped up” and did something. But that is a day late and a dollar short.

I read recently that a stranger walked up to a woman and her screaming child and told both of them, “shut that kid up or I will shut her up for you.” With that pronouncement, he proceeded to slap the two year old child across the face. According to the report, he hit her four or five times in succession. When I read the headline, I cracked up laughing. Because recently I have encountered some rude, noisy, touch everything and everyone, crumb snatchers, and have been incredulous that their parents seem oblivious as to what was going on. So I understand the man’s frustration at hearing a crying kid. But to put his hands on someone else’s child? AW HELL TO THE NAW!!!!!
My mother and I went to a local restaurant to eat. And there must have been a million kids acting fools and parent’s acting like their children didn’t belong to them. The were putting their nasty hands on everything and the manager had to tell a couple of people to control their kids or leave. As we were leaving, a kid cut in front of my mother. Mind you my mother walks with a cane. I called him a “little dumbass” and followed him with my eyes back to his seat. I saw him say something to his mother and point to me. At that point, I stopped walking, folded my arms over my chest, and starred at his mother. She proceeded to drop her head and continue eating. I continued out the door and left. If she would have even thought to “step stupid” with me, I would have beaten HER with HIM, and kept on going. I’m VERY PROTECTIVE of my mother and fucking with her is the fastest way to get hospitalized! So I do understand this man’s actions. I don’t agree with it but I understand it.
My last observation is this. This mother wasn’t Black or white. Because if she would have been Black, the story would have read “Black woman stomps the last breath out of white man for slapping her child!” I’m sure this loser picked someone who wouldn’t have hit him with the heaviest thing within arm’s reach like a Black mother would. Then she would have gotten on her cell phone and called the rest of the family who would have “mobbed in” and taken turns beating his ass. And the video of that would have been put on Youtube within the hour!
To be honest with you, If I had saw that, I might have stepped in and whupped his ass my damn self. You don’t mess with babies and old folks. I hope during his jail stay, someone returned the favor!
