    Hmmm...I think he was up to no good because it is rare to have someone who is almost a century old trying to smoke someone out unless they posed a threat to them. But let me hold back on my assumptions so I can find out the motive of this murder.

      I gotta agree with you; his ass was probably trying to mess with her check, or play her cheap or some other nigga antics and she showed him just HOW she made it to almost a century. She made it through Jim Crow, civil rights and a black president and I'll be damn if she was gon' let a muthafucka come in here and ______ (fill in the blank).

        The victim had taken his elderly aunt into his home several months before this happened. He worked at Flagler College in St. Augustine, she was the one without a check.

I can ASSume that most of the folks featured on this site are a little outside the ordinary or on the fringe of what we deem normal given the title and content of this site. Further, most visitors to this site, I would ASSume, do NOT come here to engage in banter about current events or wax poetic about society's decline. Additionally, if we wanted more information on this particular event we would do our own research.
          So please take your "voice of reason" to the Huffington Post or AOL voices or Sextube or whatever. In the meantime let us make ASSumptions about the fuckery before us in the name of all that is Dead Wrong. Mothafucka!

                  Referring to my diatribe as "ignorance" is subjective and a weak way to devalue my comments by attempting to attack me. Sigh, I would almost agree with you, given the context of this E-Tete-a-tete we are having, however there is one glaring fact: You continue to respond to said "ignorance". So if I am exhibiting an adamant attitude by defending "ignorance"; what dear sir or madame or ? (I don't judge) are you adamantly defending?
                  Don't worry, I'll wait.

                    I'm not defending anything, but instead attacking willful ignorance. Contrary to popular belief, if you ignore something, it does not always go away.

                          Okay so you've just taken the same thing I've said and worded it differently! I just wrote that nothing you've responded to thus far has been congruent to anything nee "making no sense" and you write the same thing. You are a lame who gets his social needs met via computer. You are probably some fat, closeted (or maybe not) homosexual who lives with his mother. "Put on blast".... really? On the internet? Where I don't know you and you don't know me? Back away from the IPAD, go get some sunshine and have some real time conversations with something that has a pulse. Only weirdos and faggots continue to have conversations with a stranger over a moot issue.
                          I'm starting to feel sorry for you!!!

                          Go to Match.com, or something like that. I have NO DOUBT that you are unattractive but as my grandmother used to say "there's somebody for everybody". Aren't you tired of jacking off and typing. I bet your computer is stained with cum. I hate to see grown men succumb to a life of isolation and unhappiness. I am sorry you are a social outcast. I really am, but there has to be something redeeming about you. So sad!

Wikipedia has your picture under "Loser". Is this how you are going to spend your sunset years arguing on a website... C'mon son, I mean sir. You really don't want this to be your legacy considering you are half a CENTURY...You must be having a mid-life crisis. I bet you're that old man in the club with the shiny suit on, the hightop fade and the pinky ring. The one ERRR-BODY laughs at. Let it go dude, your best years are behind you. Go in peace.
