This is 19-year-old James Broadnax.
James Broadnax is a hardcore entrepreneur. A drug dealer, thief and gang member, James Broadnax knows where the money is and he knows how to get it.
Not wanting to get a paper route or other job so that he could actually earn the things he wanted, on the 18th of June, 2008, James Broadnax and his 19-year-old cousin, Demarius Cummings, hopped on a bus to Garland, Texas - a suburb of Dallas, Texas with a large caucasian population.
Why Garland?
Well, according to James Broadnax, if you’re going to rob somebody, you go where the money is:
One of the best spots is Garland because that’s where all the rich, white people stay at.
You can’t really argue with that kind of logic at all. Way to help support the development of the human race, Mr. Broadnax.
Demarius Cummings and his cousin James, who had smoked marijuana before getting on the bus to Garland, disembarked at their scheduled stop and began to stalk the area.
At about thirty minutes past midnight, 28-year-old Christian recording studio owner Matthew Butler, and his 26-year-old best friend and chief engineer Stephen Swan called it quits for the day and started to shut things down so they could go home. Matthew Butler called his wife, Jamie, right before locking up and heading out, telling her that he would be home soon and that he loved her.
As you have already guessed, the paths of Matthew Butler and Stephen Swan crossed those of James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings, as the studio owner and his friend stood by their cars in the parking lot, enjoying a cigarette.
James Broadnax and his cousin walked up to the two friends. Demarius Cummings asked for a cigarette and all hell broke loose.
According to James Broadnax, he pulled out a pistol that he’d traded for an old AK-47 and first opened fire on Butler before shooting Swan:
I just blanked the fuck out. I shot him and he stumbled back. I shot the driver. He hit the ground, you know what I’m saying, but he leaned up like he was going to try to get back up, so I shot him in the head.
Because when you’re robbing someone, the last thing you want them to do is survive, you know? Because it’s so much more hardcore that way.
James Broadnax became annoyed when Matthew Butler tried to stagger away:
Then his homeboy, I shot his ass again, you know what I’m saying, but he was still trying to run off. I knew he was going to die anyway, but just to make sure — pop, pop.
Yes, indeed. After one pop and another pop, Matthew Butler had two neat little holes in his head and James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings had themselves a nice new car as they helped themselves to the possessions of their dead victims. Demarius found a wallet and car keys on Stephen Swan, but the wallet only had $2, so he felt kind of bad about that.
Still.
Hey.
They had a car now, you know?
And yes, they left two men dead in the parking lot to be found, lying in pools of their own blood at 1 that morning by someone passing by on a bicycle- but really it was a combination of factors that led to the deaths.
- Matthew Butler and Stephen Swan had stuff
- James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings didn’t have stuff
So you can see why the murders weren’t really the fault of Demarius or James, right?
According to Demarius Cummings, who seems to be trying to set himself up in the eyes of the court as the good cousin:
We didn’t plan to shoot nobody and nothing like that. No, I take that back. I did tell him we’d probably have to pop them a few times or whatever. I did. But still, I didn’t think he was going to do it. I ain’t never seen nobody die like that, you know. It kind of shocked me, you know what I’m saying. I was shook.
Yes, we hear what you’re saying, Demarius. You were shook. Most people never experience that feeling, because most people don’t go around killing other people and taking their money.
Despite being “all shook up,” James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings managed to retain enough animal cunning to drive to an aunt’s house, where they changed out of their clothes. That done, the pair drove to the house of a girlfriend of Demarius, where they hid the pistol.
After finding a handy pawnshop and pawning some tools that the pair found in Stephen Swan’s car, a quick theft of some license plates meant that Demarius and James could hit the road with impunity.
Until the 20th of June, 2008, when they were pulled over and arrested.
After the cousins were brought into the police station and interviewed, Demarius Cummings (who seems to be the only one with even the tiniest capability of long-term thought) announced that he now knows that murder is bad.
I feel real bad, you know. I feel it was wrong what we did. I contributed to it but I didn’t kill them, though.
Whatever makes you feel good about yourself, Mr. Cummings.
James Broadnax was slightly less compassionate than his cousin, complaining that he never had anything nice when he was growing up and that his life had been Hell.
I kind of regret what I did, but things can’t change so no use crying over it.
James Broadnax kept the positive vibes flowing when he was asked what he would say to the families of the victims:
Fuck ‘em. Straight up.
Charming. To the last.
Both cousins have been charged with first-degree murder. The death penalty is on the table. James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings have each been given a $1,000,000 bond, which might as well be $1,000,000,000, really.
Here is the video of James Broadnax being interviewed. Enjoy.

Ok, if you tell your wife that you’re coming home, do it right away. No excuses.
Don’t stop at the titty bar or for a smoke. Go straight home.
I wish they had a gun fight. It would have been better if the victims were armed.
If I did this, I’d at least bring an extra gun so that the victims would have a fair shake.

Fred reply on July 18th, 2008:
JackAssofalltrades -
Sherry made an excellent point.
These POS actually believe what they said.
Yes as a white person I HAVE some good stuff - BUT I do NOT get it easily.
For example
1. One of my A/C’s is 30 years old
2. My dishwasher is 15 years old
3. My white mother has a 3rd hand computer
4. My bedroom furnature is almost 80 years old - I restored some of it 20 years ago
What I am trying to say - stuff is not only something one gets, it is something one has. In order to “have” one must take care of the stuff hey “get”.
Should one fail to take care if what they “get”, one will never “have”, so, like these POS, they must “get” again
jackofalltrades reply on July 18th, 2008:
WOW “Fred” that WAS “a” great STORY. Unfortunately, none of the points you listed support your argument that, although you “HAVE some good stuff,” you did not get it easily.
What does the age of your “stuff” have to do with how easily you got it? And what the hell does your “white mother” have to do with any of this.
As for Sherry, her point was so goddamn obvious I thought I had wandered into a remedial english class.
And just beacause I know how you morons think, let me say that I’m not condoning the actions of these turds, nor am I disagreeing with the points made here despite how mind numbingly obvious they are (nevermind the fact that the same points could be, and are, made to 4/5ths of the stories on this site.)
Consider that my disclaimer.
Fred reply on July 19th, 2008:
Sorry - it looked like you were ripping into her.
Anyway my point is that wealth is cumulative It’s not like the haves get everythying new every year.
To have means to be responsible for. Yes I have 3 a/cs so some see us as wealthy, esp in the neighborhood I live in. Tonight rather than toss my 15 year old A/C I repaired it - many people would have tossed it in the trash (like these morons) then sat around bitching because “those white people get stuff”.
I also know some white people that go through the trash and pick stuff out and fix it up - that is how these white peole get stuff. It’s called work or responsibility..
This is why you teach your kids not to talk to monkeys.

[Reply]
I want to know what their records look like. How much do you want to bet that even at 19, these two losers already have sheets as long as my arm? And I’m not even counting what is locked up in the juvenile records!
When are we going to stop the fucking charade? These guys are vicious and there are thousands like them, all over the place. They know damn well that unless and until they get CAUGHT killing someone, they are not going to be punished. They will be locked up with their homeboys, then released in a fraction of their sentence time, and start the circle again.
I can’t be the only one who is sick and tired of it, can I? We need to bring back chain gangs and make jail a hellhole - that might make these scumballs think twice about doing the crimes.
[Reply]
It was Texas so suprisingly the two victims didn’t have guns.
I wonder how many times the cuz’s have done this kind of thing before. I really can’t comprehend how someone can do this type of thing and feel absolutely no remorse whatsoever.
What makes this even worse is the fact that the last thing he ever said to his wife was “I love you.” Yes, it’s better than not saying it but at the same time it’s got to be the hardest thing for the wife to ever hear.

These are the kind of criminals that just scream “repeat offender”. Chances are they’ll never get out now, especially that Carrot Top look-alike James Broadnax. The thing is, he didn’t just become a cold blooded murdering asshole overnight. He’s been like this his whole life, and no one recognized how dangerous he was. I mean, you can rehabilitate a druggy, or maybe even a burglar or car thief if he just doing it because he’s too lazy to get a job. But guys like Carrot Top don’t get rehabilitated, they get institutionalized. And now his life is over, as sure as his victim’s. So ask me if I care about James and his shitty life.
Fuck ‘em. Straight up.

This is what probably happened. The wife doesn’t like her man smoking, so he took a quick puff before he went home. Yeah, he couldn’t go home and do it because she’d give him hell. So he chilled out with his friend enjoying a smoke. Damn. What would’ve happened if he quit smoking long ago? Oh and ex/cons love cigarettes. They trade it abundantly in prison.
So, the bad guys saw candy (cigarettes) and ultimately this was one of the deciding factors in their heist.
Protect yourself. Smoke in private where no bad guys can see you or just don’t smoke at all.

Many times they sat in front of the studio and enjoyed only a soda before they left. Guess you would say that Matt’s wife probably wouldn’t have wanted him to drink a soda and it would be Matt’s fault for enjoying a cold Sprite before he went home. He should have quite drinking soda a long time ago, right? You are SICK!! These two ANIMALS murdered two innocent, kind, sweet souls and for that….they deserve to die.

And what about ghetto white boys?? Let’s hear someone blast on their dumbasses in baggy jeans screaming the N word in Harlem. Is they crazzzzy????
[Reply]
Matthew Butler and Steven Swan were some type of Christian Music producers - nice people that dealt with nice people who may have believed that enough love, tolerance and acceptance will make anyone in the world nice - that may be the reason that they did not have a gun on them.
While I do not wish to blame the victims for what happened to them, as Christians they should open their eyes to see that their God’s son was crucified - 2000 years has not changed the fact that there are just some plain nasty people out there.
This is a racially motivated crime - the best word to describe these two is Nigger - they fit the stero-type too well - the specifically intended to target white people because white people simply get more stuff. Such POS with such attitudes only fuel racism. Racist whites will use these two as an excuse to hate all black people.
I am glad that this crime happened in Texas - a state that uses the death penalty, odds are higher that these two will be sent to hell rather than wait another 40 years at taxpayer expense before the Grim Reaper comes for them.
For those of you who object to my calling them Niggers
To me they are vile POS no matter what their skin color is, but because they fit the racist white definition of the word so perfectly, the label sticks nicely.
Calling them monkeys is insulting to real monkeys because those animals have more morals than these POS.
I am white, I have black friends, I have white enemies.

It’s not really necessary to name them by individual race, and it really upsets some people. Remember, most of the people who fall into the “other” groups are ignorant and uneducated. They do not understand the whole “sticks and stones” thing, so they go basically haywire when people call them names.
It’s not worth the trouble.
I tend to just classify them as “ghetto” no matter what ethnicity they are. It sums it all up in a single word that covers everyone. And, it’s not about living in the ghetto - it’s the whole ghetto attitude. Even middle-class white boys with lots of “stuff” that their guilt-ridden parents buy them, can be “ghetto”.
Well, at least as they’re in Texas, they might actually get executed instead of dying of old age on death row.
[Reply]
$2.oo! whoooo! people are rich in texas.
since they panned the area and decided it was rich and white enough, i think that would qualify as a hate crime under current definition… selecting someone by race, religion, orientation. it won’t pan that way, we all know why. white dudes get no breaks; we all know why.
it would have been smarter if they had scoped a john and shot a few pops into his ass… financially and legally, since nobody would have made a fuss. but, that is where the “no child left behind” system fails us all. teach criminals to kill other criminals. nobody’s loss, everyman’s gain. just look at how a non-kill state like wisconsin deleted jeffrey dahlmer! it works.
it is sad when you use the words “pop-pop” to make yourself feel like a man; to justify killing someone for $2.oo, some tools, and a car. you can get that much from just stealing a car, not killing. i know i have @ $3.5o in pennies sitting on my dash and i drive a rag top jeep, so, the money is there for the taking without really committing any serious or arrestable crime.
but, hey, it’s texas, so there isn’t much doubt that they, especially if they have a rap sheet, will do some time, if not receive death. they like to kill in texas, especially if you kill first. whooooo!

Lisa reply on July 23rd, 2008:
The lack of remorse of these two so called “tough guys” makes it seems that they felt even after all was said and done that the lives of the hardworking men they killed were not worth as much as the $2 and getaway car they ended up with. Their crime took away the lives of two husbands/sons/fathers/ productive members of societies and left their families without them. Such a crime disgusts and shocks me, hope Texas puts the two animals responsible for this crime down. They’re not worth the resources put into keeping them alive.

Lisa, the detectives said that they don’t like to give the death penalty to 19 year olds. They are just so young and innocent, you know. This was shocking to me. These two have been criminals for a long, long time. Cummings had just gotten out of jail after being convicted of burglary and robbery. I thought the age of accountability was around 7 years old. We can only pray that they get the death penalty. My son was an amazing man. A strong Christian, loving father and husband and the best son anyone could ever wish for. My two grandbabies will not even remember their awesome daddy. That tears me apart. These two animals ripped them away from us and they deserve to die for that. Both of them. I agree with you, they are not worth another slice of bread.

Normally I’d agree that race has nothing to do with this, but by their own admission it was a black/white thing. These killers are almost caricatures of themselves. They are cliches. They are the reason we use the word ‘nigger’ and they perpetuate the stereotype. They could be any race and they would evoke the racial epithet appropriate to that race. These two and people like them continually push us to a point of frustration that we are almost forced to use racial slurs.
Kyle Borman killing a woman because she was black and a convienient target did the same thing to perpetuate the ‘good ol’ boy white trash’ image.
We all know, on a rational level, people are people, no matter their skin color, language, or cultural background. But these kind of people evoke such a strong, negative emotion, it is sometimes hard to look past the color of skin.
Thanks, James and Demarius, for causing rational people to think ‘nigger’. Thanks, Kyle, for giving me the chance to explain to my kids that someone killed someone because of skin color and football.
Raising kids is tough enough without trying to explain something as stupid as racism.

It is my opinion that, just like child abuse/violence, there is simply no rational reason for racism, and those who practice it, even indirectly, are simply douche bags, if not inbred fucksticks who deserve a one way trip to the sun.

I’ll admit, while there are some very respectable blacks in the US (i.e. Condoleezza Rice) there are the blacks who put a sterotype on what whites already thought of them. Call me racist, call me what you want. A black man beat me and my son….sterotype? YES!
Don’t you get it? These people are like animals; as are dopeheads and/or child molesters. There’s nothing anyone can do about it. James Broadnax and Demarius Cummings are niggers. Plain and simple. They aren’t the term for “ignorant”, they are the term used for a racial slur….. N.I.G.G.E.R!
Thanks for listening. Carry on.

I sympathize with Sherry, while I don’t agree with her completely.
I personally know more blacks who are respectable, responsible and good people than I know “ghetto” trash. I have SEEN many black ghetto types, but I don’t associate with them, nor do I associate with white ghetto trash. Basically it comes down to stereotyping. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, no matter how evil pop culture claims it is. Stereotyping is a natural survival instinct, I think. People MUST be able to make snap judgements about others for their own protection, and the way that is done is by assessing the behaviors, the appearance and the actions/attitudes of others.
This very important survival mechanism has been beaten out of many of us, by the popular concept that stereo-typing is a “bad” thing, and I am afraid that is one of the reasons that we have so many “stupid victims” these days. No longer is the “Bushy-haired Stranger” someone to immediately veer away from, for fear that you might offend him, or be seen as a racist. So - the BHS has a huge playing field now.
I will associate with people of any color, race, ethnicity, or even sexual preference - so long as they are within the parameters of my standards of behavior. But, when I see some punk walking around with his hand on his crotch, and 8 inches of boxers showing over his jeans, I am going to stand tall, look as little like a “victim” as possible, and avoid him - be he black, white, hispanic or space alien. This type of person, whether you call him a nigger or something else, is just too risky to take a chance on.
[Reply]
TurtleMania reply on July 21st, 2008:
Wait.
I think you have stereotyping confused with something else.
Stereotype:
oversimplified conception: an oversimplified standardized image of a person or group
This is what I get from the definition:
a) If you see a black male and you give him a basketball. You are assuming because he is black he likes basketball.
b) If you see a black male and assume he has a gun eventhough he is not walking as though he has one or reaching for it.
If you see someone grabbing their crotch thats not proper behaviour and of course someone smart would avoid that person. But that’s not stereotyping.
Again, stereotyping is having a luncheon at your office and you order fried chicken for the AA staff, assuming that they like fried chicken because they are black.
Your standards of behavior, or etiquette are your own. Are you confusing etiquette with stereotyping?

Mazzi reply on July 21st, 2008:
I think you are right if you look at the precise meaning of the word. But I was using the more commonly assigned meaning.
If you look at what Sherry posted, she is referring to how certain unacceptable behavior adds to the stereo-type that already exists. But she is pretty clearly saying that she only applies that stereo-type to the people who act in certain ways. I don’t think that she (or most people these days) sees all black people as pimpin’ drug dealers and crack ho’s. But when a person is acting like a pimp or a crack ho - it’s almost impossible to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I think the racism of old is pretty much gone, except in the truly ignorant. And that will never change. it is bred into them from generations of ignorant ancestors, who could only function by believing that others were “lower” than them. Ignorance breeds contempt, and it also breeds more ignorance, so that is pretty much an unbreakable cycle.
[Reply]
Sherry reply on July 22nd, 2008:
Yes Mazzi, that is exactly what I meant. There’s people on here who try to take the more “uppity” approach. I, on the other hand, am not afraid to openly admit my feelings. What TurtleMania posted is the exact stereotype of black people. Like I said, I don’t thing they’re all ghetto, dew rag, saggy pants and gun toatin’ niggers, that IS the stereotype. I say it because it’s the truth.
Perfect example….
I went tubing with a few friends of mine last weekend. There was a group of niggers who had stopped on the bank of the river and were sitting there listening to their 50 Cent, smoking a blunt, eating watermellon and talking about how they were going to “fuck dat nigga up”, referring to a man at the end of the float. Those must be just random black guys, right? Not so much. Niggers.
Another example…..
A friend of mine asks me to give a friend of a friend a ride home. As I approach this friend of a friend, I notice he has no teeth, he looks like he just woke up from under a bridge and has holes in the tip of his shoes. Take a wild guess where he lives? The trailor park. I later found out that he married his first cousin. Random white guy? Not so much. White trash.
One more for your pleasure…..
I run the front office of a very prominant construction company. A man comes in one day to apply for a job and, of course, I have to ask him “Wuld you like an English or spanish application?” Spanish of course. No thanks wetback, we’re not hiring.
It’s all pretty simple.
Man, I don’t believe some of the posts in this thread. IMHO, The “N” word should be eliminated from the white man’s vocabulary, PERIOD. Save all these semi intellectual “there’s n—-rs in every race” bullshit for some coked out all nighter with a couple of your black friends. I’ve found that the adjectives I use to describe white and hispanic criminals that piss me the fuck off work perfectly well with black perps too, so why use that hateful word with it’s disgraceful history any longer? I can’t think of one good reason. It’s not that I think those folks that are saying it’s OK to use it are card carrying members of the KKK, I just don’t think they’ve really tried to understand what that word coming out of our mouth does to a black person, no matter what the “justification”. Anyways, just a few of my thoughts on the matter.

You stumped me on this part:
“Stereotyping is a natural survival instinct, I think. People MUST be able to make snap judgments about others for their own protection, and the way that is done is by assessing the behaviors, the appearance and the actions/attitudes of others.”
Cultural norms would include the realm of assessing the behaviors, the appearance and the actions/attitudes of others.
Would it be normal in your culture for a man to fondle himself in public? If no, then steer clear of this man. (this is not stereotyping)
Stereotyping shouldn’t be and is not a survival tool based on your statement. Your own perception and instinct is your survival tool.
I’m going to look at your etiquette to see if it matches mine, then I can decide if I want to deal with you. (this is not stereotyping)
If you see a black guy and you feel you need to run from him because all blacks carry guns then yes that’s stereotyping and if you do that in order to survive, shame on you. I think stereotyping is negative and to be avoided at all cost.
Use your perception and instinct as a survival tool not stereotyping. Be aware of your surroundings.
[Reply]
TurtleMania reply on July 21st, 2008:
IMO, survival tools are perception, intuition, and instinct. Stereotyping is not a survival tool. Stereotyping is not an instinct. It is an oversimplified standardized image of a person or group.
Example: You have an image of the Italian Mafia and you now assume all Italians are linked with the mob.
…or all Irish are heavy drinkers.
…or you see a few Ethiopians driving taxis and now all of them are taxi drivers.
…or all natives of India work at 7-Eleven because you saw a few of them there.
I don’t see how this can help you survive.
But I could be wrong? I don’t know.
[Reply]
Mazzi reply on July 22nd, 2008:
Turtle, I think this is a matter of semantics, lol. I totally agree with what you are saying, but I guess I have never known anyone who would make such general assumptions. The way the word stereo-type is used in my world is much more defined. Not that all blacks like fried chicken and watermelon, but more like if you see a fat woman (black or white) in the grocery store with 4 screaming snot-nosed kids, she is gonna pull out food stamps to pay for the frootloops and twinkies.
This, of course, is not a survival technique. This is just observation of patterns of behavior - BUT, it is those same patterns of behavior that are used for survival.
Let me give a little story - my 17 year old daughter has a friend who was raised in this “everyone is exactly the same” environment. One day, her friend was driving through town, and they stopped at a red light. There was a seedy looking guy on the corner (and honestly - I never even asked what race he was - she just said he was shady looking). My daughter discreetly hit the door locks. Her friend berated her for that - saying that it was rude and that he was “probably” perfectly safe. Well, as far as I am concerned, my daughter did the right thing. Of course the man could have been perfectly harmless, but her instinct said that it was not a good risk to take. Her friend, on the other hand, was more worried about “offending” someone than about her own safety.
It’s not about etiquette, it’s more about social norms I guess. What constitutes “seedy” looking is a matter of opinion I guess, but there are some people who just fit that description by almost anyone’s standards.
Anyway, interestingly, this friend is a little racist, although she would freak out if anyone told her that. During a discussion about “boys” she said that she wants to date “a black guy”. Not a specific black boy - just any black guy, to experience it. That is so hypocritical, IMO. In her efforts to appear “tolerant”, she actually is doing exactly what I taught my daughter not to do. Instead of being color BLIND, she is going overboard to prove that she is not a racist.

As I was saying - these two criminals force an emotional response, not a rational one, that pepetuate a stereotype. These 2 and others only serve to promote the myth of the “Nigger”. It’s difficult to look at these guys and not think nigger, and their behavior drags all of us down, black, white, whatever, to reacting emotionally, and setting us all back.
We wouldn’t even be having this discussion if they hadn’t acted like animals.
We are also stereotyping the victims. We are assuming that since they are white, with families, and involved with Christian music, that they are as pure as the driven snow. That may not be the case at all. Stereotyping goes both ways.

I know I’m gonna get my virtual ass kicked for this, but as I was watching the video of James’ interview, my heart ached for the kid. Honestly, that’s what I was feeling. That’ll teach me to think I know what’s in another man’s head.
[Reply]
Oh Max.
I have compassion to some degree or another, for almost every one of these criminals. Very few choose to be evil, even the sickest and most horrible ones. They make choices to DO evil, but not to BE evil.
They were once little children, and more than likely, some really bad shit happened to them as kids that they couldn’t deal with, and they accepted evilness in. I even feel bad in some ways for that beast who killed that family so he could kidnap/rape the little kids up in Idaho - Joe Duncan, who is about a vile a human being as there is. But when you read about his life, his childhood, it is one of the saddest stories all the way around. His life was as dreadful as many of the stories of victims that we read here. Same with Richard Rameraz, or even Charles Manson.
But, the fact remains that these people must be punished and they MUST be removed from society. Once they move from “victim” to “agressor” they are no longer safe, and while I still have compassion, it can’t outweigh the harm that they have done, and the potential threat the are.
So - no ass kicking here. So long as you don’t say “I feel bad for him, let’s let him go unpunished”.

Mazzi reply on July 23rd, 2008:
THAT is the sad part. Why can’t someone get through to them? Their parents? Their grandparents? Most likely the people who are responsible for guiding the kids through life are completely ill-equipped for responsible life themselves.
I don’t mean to be stereotyping, but I would guess that these guys have grandmothers who are close to the same age I was when I became a MOTHER. Their mothers were probably pregnant as teenagers, unmarried and in poverty. As were THEIR mothers and their mother’s mothers. And the men in their lives? Probably non-existant. Maybe an uncle or two between jail confinements, but chances are their male role-models were the gangsta’s on the street.
So, who is there to save these kids? Who can get through to the teenage girls that having babies is a serious thing? That it is not just a doll who will love you unconditionally, and that they need to give to the child, not the other way around.
Who can do this? Who WILL do this? Can it be done at all?

I read on a domestic abuse website that…”we should feel compassion for the abused child, but not the monster he/she becomes” I agree.
We each have a limited daily amount of energy to be distributed and I focus my finite compassionate, loving energy on the truly derserving: the innocent, vulnerable victims of predators.
In my opinion, and from my research done regarding psychopaths, narcissists, anti-socials, pathological criminals, etc., I have deduced that evil deeds/actions are a choice not an obligation.
There are many testimonials of women and men who have had less than stellar upbringings, suffering physical, emotional, psychological abuse and neglect from mentally ill/disordered parents and yet, they have maintained their conscience, their ability to love, their ability to live life with morals, values, scruples and with their precious souls intact.
I can vouch for these people as I am the product of a broken home and a psychopathic father.
I can firmly state that because of my sometimes dismal childhood, I am a better person, spiritually in tune, compassionate, loving, empathetic and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The struggle has been difficult but the lessons have been learned and appreciated.

Quick note - Garland is NOT the place to go for weathly people in Dallas. Garland is almost equivalent to a “little Mexico” in most areas. Other areas of Garland are businesses and older people who have lived there for many years. Of course all parts of Dallas have it’s “nice” spots and it’s not so “nice” spots or areas. The thing is that they blended in when they went to Garland with the rest of the wanna-be thugs looking to make a dishonest dollar or to get their “hustle” on as we say. Now had they gone to an area where the “rich white folks” live like PRESTON HOLLOW…..Oh no crime wouldve even had the chance to be commited b/c the police would’ve been on their asses before they could even size anyone or anything up! They knew what they were doing and that was looking for an easy target. I pray that justice preveils for the victims and their families!
MY QUESTIONS IS….WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SHOW HIS ASS ON TV???? WE ALREADY KNEW HE WAS AN OBVIOUS ASSHOLE (for lack of a better word) TO DO A CRIME LIKE THAT BUT TO GIVE HIM AIR TIME SO OTHER YOUNG MALES CAN GET OFF ON HIS RUTHLESSNESS AND JUSTIFY WHY THEY ACT THE WAY THEY DO??? PLEASE…..JUST SEND THAT ASS TO THE CHAIR AND PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY!

Oh and also……its really hard for me to buy the “i had a terrible childhood” excuse. Only b/c me and my 3 sisters were raised by a woman who was not only abused but also witnessed the murder of her own mother, grew up in a violent environment, and was treated in a way that i wouldnt wish upon my worst enemy. And guess what? She NEVER abused us!!! She never talked down to us!!! She never harmed a hair on our heads b/c she made a decision within herself that her girls were never going to experience or go through the pains that she endured as a child! Once you learn right from wrong it’s a concious decision to do what you will….weather it’s right or wrong. Obviously, they choose the wrong road to travel and now they have to pay for it!
OH and by the way..my parents just celebrated their 45 yr anniversary! :)

They wanted to get rich so they stole a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria.
Two decent men lost their lives because James the bonehead decided he wanted their car.
I don’t know anything about Garland, but my initial thought while reading the article was that they got a hold of a Lexus or Mercedes Benz.
I saw Mr. Butler’s wife in a video clip. She is beautiful and so are his kids he left behind
I can’t wait for James the bonehead to fry.

Mazzi reply on July 25th, 2008:
Oh you are so absolutely right, doesn’t matter. Once people are born into the ghetto, there is no chance for them to ever get out. They don’t have any possibility. I know they have schools that try to teach them the basics of living within society, but since it is hopeless, we can’t blame them for not taking advantage of this opportunity. School is for losers and for oreo’s - the really smart kids know that the best future is in the streets.
We have programs designed for young black kids to help teach them and lead them from the edges of civilization, but they can’t be expected to take that shit seriously, can we? Hell no. It’s hopeless, why would they even try? If they tried, they would be slapped down by the damned racists anyway. The racists that lurk around every corner trying to hold them down. The racists who would NEVER allow them to rise up to become a billionaire TV personality, or the General in the Army, or the secretary of State, or a billionaire magazine publisher, or a movie director, a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, a nurse, a car mechanic, a computer tech, or God knows, a presidentiual candidate.
You are so right, doesn’t matter! There is no chance for these kids - and it’s society’s fault. We never gave them a chance.
And, since they never had any chance at all. Since society did this to them, since they have no responsibility for anything they have done, let’s just let them right on out of jail.
