Tank hits new low by playing race card (1 Viewer)

Frankly, I don't think the law he is accused of breaking is close to reasonable. There are many places in this great country where a person does not have to place themselves on a government watch list to own guns.

I think there is an underlying agenda on the part of his neighbors. The guy is a young black man who is successful, likely living in a predominantly white neighborhood. The cops come beating on his door. How many other folks in that neighborhood have been raided by the SWAT team, over something as minor as failure to register some firearms.

And, it is somehow reprehensible that two of the weapons are loaded. Is he supposed to keep them unloaded when armed men with assault rifles and bulletproof clothing burst into his home? What if it were a child molester breaking in to rape his children and kill the family?
What part of "he's a thug" are you not getting? Of course people are concerned that a guy with his mentality and his history has a loaded arsenal of firearms. If he were Barack Obama, folks wouldn't mind in the least. They might do one of these things :loco: ...but Obama's not the kind of guy with a history of crime, aggression, and basic thuggary. Tank does have that AND he apparently hasn't cleansed that history out of his system yet.
"During his second year in the NFL, he was arrested at the Excalibur nightclub in Chicago for possession of a handgun. Johnson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge and was sentenced to 18 months probation and 40 hours of community service. [2]On February 12, 2006, Johnson, while still on probation, was charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest after allegedly verbally threatening a police officer. Johnson was leaving Level Nightclub on Chicago's Rush Street when the police officer was ticketing a limousine driver who Johnson had hired. As Johnson allegedly put up a struggle, he was maced and subdued with the help of other police officers. The charges were eventually dropped."

WHOA! this guy is a MANIAC! we should probably give him the death penalty!

:thumbup:

who hasn't mouthed off to the cops before? he's big enough for the cops to panic so they maced him. big deal.

might wanna at least take a peek at some facts before you go accusing people of "a history of crime, aggression, and basic thuggary." :hey:

I'm glad you guys pay attention to Jay Mariotti, because nobody in Chicago does

If Tank has three sacks and is named the Super Bowl MVP, Jay Mariotti will be asking Mayor Daley to give the guy the key to the city.
I agree, Mariotti is an idiot. He just likes taking the 'other' side on all issues. He just likes being controversial. Its funny how he thinks Tank Johnson acted foolishly while all of the other media outlets (even ESPN) thought he faced the questions maturely and with class. So who is right? Mariotti or everyone else?
I was :thumbup: here myself. Marriotti is an idiot.
 
He's got a point. When the FBI raided Troy Aikman's house looking for guns and dope, nobody made a peep.
That is true, I mean the FBI probably had no reason to raid Tank's house. They did it just because he was a young black man with tatoos. I mean it isn't like someone living with him was murdered or anything...oops.
The raid was before the murder and their reason for the raid was that neighbors complained about the pit bulls he owned and gun shots coming from his house. Knowing that he's a player for the Bears, I think sending in a SWAT team is a bit excessive.
Man, you had to go ruining my attempt a joke by throwing in the facts, huh? :penalty: I just thought the Aikman comment was a little silly (I don't think it was sarcastic) seeing as the only outlandish behavior I remember Aikman being accused of was being gay. NTTAWWT.
