Quote of the Day

Broadwater: "A dozen protestors marched Wednesday outside the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center, demanding prosecutors drop all charges against the so-called 'MTA 9'"
Said Quentin Whaley Sr., 54, the father of one of the accused teens, "If someone spit in your face, what would you do? This isn’t 1857. This is 2008. We won’t be chattel property.”

But you know, if you look at the picture, it's like five people out there. Should the papers really be covering what five screaming loonies have to say, as if their opinions are credible?

“If someone spit in your face, what would you do?”

Apparently, Mr. Whaley would beat them and then smoke a blunt to celebrate.

Wow, how much weed do you have to get caught with in this town before they actually prosecute you?

Failure to pay child support... glad to see that though he couldn't be bothered to feed his kids, he's finding the time to make excuses for them now...

This story is going to go national. Sooner or later the big pimp daddy himself "Al Sharpton" is going to show up.

Just wait and see.
