actions and consequences

Most of us know someone who went down the wrong path.

And in some cases, we actually have good memories being around that same person who went down the wrong path.

But at the same time, having good memories of someone DOES NOT mean that person shouldn't have face consequences of that negative behavior


However, some people think that the people they like shouldn't face the inevitable consequences of their stupid decisions.

For example, this teacher named Kate Selker was upset that one of her students was shot in the head, nevermind that her student was intruding on someone else's home!

And as the title showed, the teacher played the race card, acting as its racist to shoot an intruder who just happens to be a  different race from you!

And that teacher recited all the good memories of her former student, as if that erase the fact that her student was just asking for trouble when he intruded on someon's property!

Look I don't care how many good memories you have of the student, if he was intruding on someone's property, he is asking to be shot at!

After all, anyone mean-spirited enough to intrude on your property can be mean-spirited enough to attack you, stab you , put you in a choke-hold, rape you,  knock the phone out of your hand as you call 911!

You cant blame the property owner for shooting the intruder.


Look, I used to hang out with this guy named Justin Gonda. This was mostly during my junior year in high school. We used to chill by the school's shop building during lunch recess. There were about 3-4 other people with us, along with a few guests who occasionally came by.  Those were the funnest times I had during my high school years.

However, a few years after high school, Justin Gonda was arrested for sexual assault! He's in jail now!

You know what? It doesn't matter how much good times me and Gonda had in the past, Gonda committed a serious crime and has to take the consequences.


If this leads him to a direction where he gets assaulted or  killed (maybe by his victim's relatives? maybe by other inmates? etc?), he has to accept some of the blame himself!

And this race card that Kate Selker is using is STUPID!

She said she used to trespass on properties when she was a teen and felt she got away with it because she's white, and her student didn't because he was black.

Selker  might think trespassing was no big deal for her. But if she had gotten shot while trespassing, I won't feel much pity for her! She's just lucky she didn't got caught!

Also,  Selker thinks it's racist for an property owner to shoot an intruder who happens to be a different race. That is so stupid. Selker's problem is her idiotic "white guilt", her "need" to over-compensate for "white privilege".



This over-compensating for white privillege is stupid and unnecessary! It's not racist to expect non-whites to behave properly! After all, Martin Luther King wanted people to be judged by the content of their character. Any fool who intrudes on another person's home shall be judged as a bad character, regardless of skin color!



Everyone needs to accept responsibility for their actions. Sure, some of us have work much harder to gain the respect of others. Sure, some of us face more obstacles than others. Sure, some of us have heard ugly racial insults said to our faces. Sure, some of us didn't have the economic resources that others have! Sure, some of us have physical or mental limitations that others don't have!

But it doesn't erase the fact that everyone still need to do the responsible thing and accept the fact that there are negative consequences for doing negative things!


Now here's a great comment to that same article!

The story is very much more complicated than it sounds.  Ms. Selker fails to mention the other children involved - Mr. Landry's two year old daughter, and the yet to born child carried by his pregnant wife.  Coulter did not "jump" a fence - he scaled an 8 foot tall spiked gate into a fully enclosed fenced drive way right next to the bedroom window where Mr. Landry's family was sleeping at 2am at night.  The drive was deeply shaded from the streetlight across the street by large trees and bushes.  And, the final major issue - this is New Orleans - the single most dangerous city in the US, with the least effective police force with well known slow response times.  Mr. Landry was standing in the enclosed drive, in the dark, with an intruder, family to protect, and low expectation of police response.
Now, this is just me, but if the intruder so much as twitched, they would be shot - center mass, with intent to kill (there is no such thing as shooting to wound, if you think you need to pull the trigger, then shoot to kill).  If they aren't completely disabled, then shoot again.
I would take my chances with the law after that.  My wife, child, and unborn child safety takes precedence over any vagaries of the law.
