Oct 29 2008Jennifer Hudson suspect should have been in jail the day of murders

hummmmmm

The system works, when liberals allow it to.

first?

J Hudson can blame liberals for letting this thug go free. They will argue that Wiliam Balfour is a victim also. It happens every day and if anyone tries to stand up to it, they are shouted down as racist. Prove me wrong.

We have the same problem in Philly. Besides the fact that people in west philadelphia are animals (and I mean that in every sense of the word) that will kill you for your sneakers, the whole court/parole system is run by a bunch of black people that dimiss charges or make them serve a 10th of the time.

The cops in this city are so sick of their shit they've actually demonstrated. They get killed bringing these apes in only to have them get let out 2 years later for attempted murder.

It's time we got fuckers like the sergeant in Shawshank Redemption to run shit downtown, I guaran-fucking-tee you this wouldnt have happened.

If the Chicago PD busted everyone they pulled over with crack, the street would be empty..

While I consider myself a moderate, maybe leaning a little right of center. I have to agree that the liberal courts and Chicago, Illinois for that matter have the most left leaning liberal government in the country. This is a direct cause of too little supervision, group hug give him a chance mentality. And the overworked penal system.

Vote democratic and reap what you sow!

i say the people of chicago form an angry mob and burn down a few precincts and city hall. sometimes it's the only way you can reason with those kinds of people. and by "those kinds of people" i mean useless cops and persecutors, not black people.

this just pisses me off, cuz while it's pretty fucking obvious this guy is a total waste of life, Hudsons sister was dating him! When you have a kid, you protect that kid, and bringing dickless shitbags like this guy around and then crying when he offs your family is just stupidity on your part.

Hudson should have smacked her sister across the head.

Stick to what you know FISH-ASS!

You are not a reporter... you are a JERK!

Why does this merit a 5th post? People don't come here to read insightful commentaries on the judicial system. They come to feel better about themselves, look at lust inducing pictures, or laugh at stupid crap. STOP trying to cover what the NY Times covers.

This is just another example of the break down of the family and life in the ghetto. My heart goes out to Jennifer and her family.

#4... The link from your screenname is one of the most worthless sites I've ever seen. 'Maverick Credentials'? Ha... You and your cronies had better get used to Barry. He's certainly not going anywhere.... likely for 8 years.

@11. WORD, Bob. In that case...I'll omit my diatribe about how the parole system is no replacement for a rehabiliative model of justice.

Let's keep it superficial, follks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks like one hell of a jiggly flabby arm. You'd think it'd be more toned from carrying that Oscar around everywhere.

One other thing. This is a tragedy, especially with the 7 year old boy. But crap like this happens all the time, but this is "big news" because of a minority celebrity's involvement? Please.

They didnt charge him because they did a background check and saw that he was related to that star so they let him go.

It allways happens to movie star / music stars and there family members.

#6, we don’t empty the streets of everyone in possession of crack. That’s hardly the point here. The streets SHOULD be emptied of people convicted of attempted murder who, while on parole, gets pulled over after police hear gunfire in that area and is found to be in possession of crack cocaine. There’s not a clearer example of a parole violation than this – and the parole officer HAS to be accountable for his unwillingness to do his job and get this jerk off the street.

Almost every time someone dies under violent circumstances, evidence shows that somewhere along the way, someone seriously screwed up, often at the legal / administrative level. Here’s another sad case.

Dang she be fat.

Get with the picture, Superfish, you twat.

My tax dollars at works.

The streets need to be emptied of judges, lawyers and parole officers that do not do their job. This is such a tragedy and it could be anyone.

From some of the comments here, some of you need to be taken off the streets as well.

Dang she be fat.

Get with the picture, Superfish, you twat.

#10: Yup, as I suspected you are retarded and are entirely mistaken about what this site is all about. Speaking of anger management classes, I've signed you up for some.

He was helping ROCK the VOTE for OBAMA!!!!

And until we start paying law enforcement officers more than we pay a bank teller, it is going to be like this. Think about it.

i think every state should have a 3-strike law. and then use these useless convicts to take the place of the mexican illegals who come over to do the jobs that are beneath the white man. but for the ones whose 3 strikes are sexual offenses, especially against children, they'll just be shot on site.

that's part of the problem, there is no fear in our punishment system. if balfour had had his hand cut off for the first murder conviction, you think he would've committed the second, let alone be able to hold the gun? we need a little more medieval behavior when punishing our criminals.

Alex, (#24), the starting salary for Chicago police is $43K and jumps to $55K after one year. Exactly how much should we be paying cops? Once you're at 10 years, things should be pretty comfortable, especially after The Chosen One gets his hands on the purse strings and taxes my income by another 20% and gives it to cops (which I don't mind) and parole officers (which I sure as hell do mind).

Isn't it odd:

"It is just four miles from Mrs Donerson's house to the $1.6 million neo-Georgian home of Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate also lives on the South Side but in the leafy environs of Hyde Park, an island of coffee shops, restaurants and book stores next to the University of Chicago where he once taught.

Head a few streets south of Hyde Park, however, and it soon looks like another world of run-down low-rise homes and pawn shops protected by steel bars, discount stores and fast food outlets. The South Side stretches a further 14 miles, through districts that are 93 per cent black on average, to Altgeld Gardens, the bleak housing estate where Mr Obama cut his teeth as a community activist in the 1980s. "

Clearly the activities of 'The One' made a difference..

Keep voting democratic guys, you can see that it's helped. Once you head cracks open, and your brains fall out, perhaps then you will wake up to your ignorance.

Wow. Republicans, you are scaring me!

I ask you, since the War on Drugs began by a Republican president 30 years ago, how would you say that war is going??? Republicans have been in office longer than Democrats in the last 30 years, and you want to blame the Dems for the failed system??
As usual, you have your heads up your ass and your hand on your wallet....more of the same.

Deacon, your solution to the problem is to have some old-fashioned skull-cracking. That's a very enlightened sentiment, but somehow seems a little ill-advised. Violence begets violence, remember?

Leave it up the pile of shit wingnut racists to blame other people for the actions of this guy.They're always going on and on about personal responsibility until its something they think they can score some points off of,and it's always the "liberals" faul..

Fucking idiots.

Damn reposts...

Fish, find us some bikini pics to make us all feel better please.

Yes, liberals' fault.

It's the liberals that constantly cut funding to state police programs, state parole programs, state public defender programs.

It's liberals that cut funding to education, early education, boys and girls programs, after school programs.

It's liberals that cut funding to inner-city redevelopment, and liberals that give imminent domain power to the courts so they can kick out the poor instead of helping them build their community.

Darn those liberals! If only they weren't dropping trillions on a bogus war and hundreds of millions on their rich Wall Street buddies, we might have the resources to better police urban crime. Gosh, I HATE those liberals!!

PS Eat dick you fascist right-wing hatemongers.

Liberals Liberals Liberals...that's all you people whine about. Get off yourselves.

The first drug that needs to be made legal is pot. Why this is illegal and alcohol isn't is beyond me.

But the facts remain that study after study shows that democratic leaning cities have higher violent and property crime rates.

Don't take my word for it. Look up the studies.. they are all out there, you just have to find time to read them. And since fish is posing crap this week, it should be easy.

@34, that's because republicans don't allow coloreds in their cities.

RE: Wall Street 'buddies':

here is some more data;

Lehman Brothers has given $9.2 million through employees and its PAC since 1989, with 54 percent of that going to Democrats. Clinton and Barack Obama top the list of all-time recipients for the company, collecting $410,000 and $395,600 respectively. Schumer hauled in $181,450, while Dodd has collected $165,800. The top recipient of PAC money from Lehman Brothers has been Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over banking and the securities industry. Castle has collected $38,500 from Lehman's PAC since 1993.

This election cycle, Lehman employees have given about $1.3 million to presidential candidates. Only fellow financial giants Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have given more to the presidential hopefuls this election cycle. Lehman employees have made their firm one of the top contributors to both Obama ($370,500) and John McCain ($117,500) this election cycle. (For a full list of recipients of Lehman contributions, see this post from Friday.)

So, it's all part of the right wing conspiracy eh? Liberals are innocent angels right?

Also, I suggest you read the definition of fascist before you continue to name call. The current popular use of the word brings to mind a quote from 'The Princess Bride' -- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "

I can keep this up until fish posts something good.

@34

I'm all for your argument but the reason why "democratic leaning cities" tend to have a higher violent and property crime rates is because they also tend to have a higher population.

in any case can we cut this shit out with all the real news articles and post some bewb pictures already?

@29
Yes, that is the solution to the problem. Want proof? Look at our inner cities.

And they just continue to spread outwards to the suburbs. The high school I went to is gangsta infested disgrace now. Theyre like cockroaches.

Maybe we should start sterilizing people that have a felony. That would be great. Fuck em

Keep it up, Agent 004! Your googling abilities are amazing! 54% whoooooaaa!!

damn, and i thought the nephew was fat.

Balfour should have been in jail........
Naw! Ya think?

One more thing, go to TMZ right now, theyve got video up of Balfour's mom being interviewed defending her son. It's laughable.

Fred, you fail to see the point. I have full disclosure here. 54% is a majority, but it wasn't the point. if you didn't choose to be a useful idiot, then you would see that a lot of data is there. It's the fact that the blame lies with both sides, with evidence 'slightly' leaning to more responsibility to the left of the isle.

Also, Julian, the results for crime rates are adjusted for population for any credible study. Not just raw numbers, but X per Y population.

"goes on in every city" - I don't think so. Smart states have abolished parole and make sure violent felons convicted of attempted murder and abduction (like this pos) serve their time in prison. Let's be honest, this kind of garbage where someone is let out on parole for a violent crime, then violates parole and is not even remanded to prison consistently happens in left leaning / liberal states. There are real, everyday consequences to what some politicians and judges do on a daily basis.

Yes, many cities with large minority populations have liberal Democratic control of local governments.

Conservative Republicans have every right to criticize them - once you convince minorities to join your party. The Republican National Convention attendees were 93% white this year.

It's like criticizing the governments of other countries. What you say may be valid, but in the end, you have no say.

That arm will give me nightmares. It's like a really bad piece of original recipe KFC.

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS SHITE OF A STORY! Who fucking cares... at all?

The jails and prisons are over maximum capacity already. Taxpayers won't pay for more prisons - sorry, it's not Never-Never Land, you have to pay for building and staffing prisons by raising taxes.

Why are the prisons full? Mandatory drug sentencing.

Both situations - no new prisions (NO NEW TAXES! EVAR!) and mandatory sentencing, especially for crack possession - are direct results of Republican policies on taxes and criminal punishments. The Democratic policies are to raise taxes to pay for infrastructure and services (including all aspects of law enforcement), and to give drug users treatment and community service instead of prison time. If people could have refrained from classic "Christian" judgmentalism about drug users and refrained from being spoiled brats about paying taxes, there'd be plenty of capacity to lock up violent offenders.

Hey Number 32...

In this case, YES, it's the liberals. You know why? Because there aren't any other political views in Chicago politics. It's all Democrat run and has been for decades. Hence, there's no one else to blame. Hell, you can't even say it's the governor or the state legislature because they're all Dems too. Governor Blagojevich is under FBI investigation right now by the way. How the hell do you expect a guy like that to run a state efficiently or morally? Illinois is a bizzaro world unto its own. You people who don't live here don't even know the half of it. 20%. That's our Chicago PD's success rate in solving murders. 20 frikking percent!

Maybe if Obama was busy doing his current job instead of running for a different one, Illinois wouldn't be such a god damned joke.

Innocent until proven guilty.

"Maybe if Obama was busy doing his current job instead of running for a different one, Illinois wouldn't be such a god damned joke."

Murder rate statistics (per capita), state rankings, data based on state law enforcement agency uniform crime reports:

Illinois:
2007: 20th
2006: 18th
2005: 20th

Arizona:
2007: 9th
2006: 8th
2005: 6th

This really is a nonstory. So what if some blacks were robbed and killed by another black? And Jennifer Hudson - what's so special about her? To me she's just another overrated "celebrity." As far as the victims go - including her kid nephe - cry me a river.

#42, does she have all her teeth?

This story is about as sad as it gets.

This story is about as sad as it gets.

Look, I can find stats and type them as well!

Chicago's murder rate as of 2007

16 per 100,000

Phoenix's murder rate as of 2007

14 per 100,000

So what's your point?

This is what coons want. They want to cause crime and not be punished. They insist that every coon in jail is there because of racism. That's why they can't adapt to a civilized world. They are meant to live like animals. Just wait until they become the majority. My God, this country will look like Zimbabwe.

@54

The have her on the phone. It's hilarious. The best part is how she tries to say he has morals, and in the same SENTENCE she talks about how he has "two or three girlfriends"

I wonder how long the Hudsons are going to milk this one out of the media...

And until we start paying law enforcement officers more than we pay a bank teller, it is going to be like this. Many friends I met on a sports community mysportsdate.com think so too. it's the real place where hot cougars and milfs hang out with sexy young men!! My friends told me so, gonna check it out!!

I love racist right wing Archie Hitler Bunker couch morons.- wait I'm not Jesus Christ, the mushrooms wore off- I hate fucking Archie Bunker Hitler type morons, where's my suitcase nuke? Time for the final solution!

If our jails weren't full of harmless pot heads there might be room for crack heads that have attempted murder convictions. It time to change some laws.

It's called "Fatherless welfare garbage" and if Hussein Obama is elected, you'll see them breed even faster than the illegals. Go figure.

some guy kills three obese negros. who gives a fuck! what a minute, i do. thanks balfour!!!!

Thanks for taking 3 of them out man! I hope you get off like OJ, the first time, so you can take out a few more.

Good thing Obama wants to reduce the penalties on crack.

He calls it 'equalizing sentencing discrepancies between cocaine and crack'.

But it's lowering crack prison penalties.

Check his website under "civil rights".

Good job, Barack!

SOME AMERICAN BEHAVIOUR IS SOOOO DIFFERENT, how come?

Superficial Editor(s),

I guess you missed the part about how the guy was living with the Hudson family. Now, with that in mind, who is the one at fault here? I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't let a convicted felon live in my house, with my family, while he was on parole.

This is absolutely ridiculous! All of you idiots on here spouting racist bullshit. Have we not risen above all the hate, We all came from Adam and Eve, oops oh yeah i forgot then the flood came and we all came from Noah and his family. I can't believe these comments are even allowed on the site. Allowing this is just like pouring gasoline on a fire. One are all one in the same. It's time for a true change in this country. That will never happen as long as we have racists kkk, redneck, skinhead nazi mother fuckers running around screaming a bunch of nonsense. This woman lost her mother, brother sister and nephew. Who cares what color they are it is still a sad senseless crime. Not all black people are uneducated drug dealing killer thugs as some of you people think. Open your eyes and see the light the world is changing and maybe you should get with the program also!

So what's your point?"

Retard. Do you know the difference between a city and a state? Are U.S. Senators responsible for a city or an entire state? The earlier comment referenced state-wide crime rates. Jesus, no wonder McCain is in such trouble...

Erin,

Perhaps if you start your comment without a name, then perhaps you would garner some respect. The original point is that this happened in the backyard of Obama. The ground where he started his change for hope, hope for change campaign. Way before the guy was a state senator, he was a 'community organizer' and then a state rep that represented the 13th district (aka here) The next poster escalated it to a state level in order to start the argument that you have taken the bait for.

So, by your reasoning, Sarah Palin is more responsible TODAY for Wasilla than for Alaska? I stand by my conclusion: retard.

There was a drive-by shooting in Little Rock, Arkansas last week.

That event invalidates Bill Clinton's 2-term presidency.

I like how this works!

Groids kill groids; sometimes they eat each other too. Let's move on now, 'K?

This was a horrifying event for the family. How dare the writer of this story joke about eating crackers under the bed.

Erin,

Yes, the people that influence an area or a thing in the past are responsible for the outcome of that area or thing. Let's take you for example. Your parents, who clearly failed in raising someone that had any ability to be a rational and respectable person have a responsibility to the fact that you are who you are today. Even more so, if you parents promised to make you a great person with impeccable values, skills, and intellect, then they bear responsibility when the failed to due so.

You and your parents are responsible for the outcomes of you.

Now, please, continue in your thinking. There is a need for you in the useful idiot line.

Jowens,

Not all whites are "racists kkk, redneck, skinhead nazi mother fuckers"

just like not all blacks are racist. But to say "Stop the racism against blacks", when you participate in racism against white is a double standard.

It's ok to hang a white women effigy with a noose, but it's racist to hang a noose in a tree. Don't you see the double standard? People scream equal treatment, but they really want special treatment. I'm sorry there are those with ancestor that were slaves, I'm sure some of mine were burnt at the stake because they were accused of beng witches. It's not happening now so whats deal?

I say sterilize all convicts! If you can't keep yourself from breaking the law then you have absolutely no good jugdement to have kids. Then lets see what the crime rate will do. It would be a win win situation.

Humphreys,

Excellent point. I challenge any group of people, no matter how they like to discriminate themselves from others, to prove that they have never been enslaved or subjugated by a group of people in the past.

I would assume that the percentage of people that can be excluded from this group is going to be very small.

I personally have friends of MANY different backgrounds and races. Some of which when I get together with I am the only English speaking person. Then I witness those that are CLEARLY racist towards me.... now why is this? I thought that minorities can't be racist?

This murder is absurd, but it's the responsibility of everyone involved. The family for letting this person into their life, the people that promise to enforce the laws, etc. etc... The political parties want nothing to change no matter what they say. They only want you endeared to them.

What a waste.

Offered my condolences the other day. ATTACK!!!

Funny story: When they showed that Balfour guy on television, I thought it was a picture of Jennifer Hudson from "The Secret Life of Bees". Check check it!!

$100 street value on the crack? That's like .40 cents real world value, isn't it?

@4 - Well someone drank the Sarah Palin / Jim Jones Koo-Koo Kult Kool-Aid. That site gave her credit for solving problems she caused.
Maybe if she was BEING a Christian parent instead of pretending to be one as a ploy to further her political hustle, her daughter wouldn't be knocked up.

@Humphreys

Not once did I say all WHITES were RACISTS! I used terms, now if that shoe fits you then wear it. I am white dumbass and I live in a very racially segregated city. The divide is very clear, but some are too stupid and ignorant to read into what I wrote. We are all the same and silly me but I thought we were all equal. WRONG! People are on this site calling blacks coons and spouting racial slurs, but since I used terms your dumbass didn't like that means I'm a racist. HA! Read what you wrote and compare the two.
