The guy in the picture looks like an illegal Mexican, not a black man weighing 200 pounds.
It could be an illegal Mexican, then again it could have been a legal woman wearing fat clothes, and they may have used a "small arm" rather than a "large handgun". The eye witnesses might just be racist in stating it was a black man, who knows for that matter, but I do know it was somebody's family member.
This person should live within their means. If the amount received from Obama and clan isn't enough then reduce your expenditures. They've been stealing for so many years and getting away with it and now they're being put in the newspaper articles requesting the public help.
It must be extremely confusing for these people, we've been making excuses for years that the democrats have enabled them to get away with it and we're trying to hold them accountable for their actions. Geez, make your minds people, somebody else made him do it, he's not at fault. Obama to the resuce, freebies for you!
It's not racial profiling when it's reality....
I prefer racial profiling since in 99 out of 100 cases,the profiling is correct.
