It”s a real shame that a criminal thug is allowed to claim racism as a defense for his violent attack on a family in the middle of the night. Bill Cosby is right. Too many people ? not just minorities ? don”t want to take responsibility for their own actions. Seems like it always has to be someone else”s fault. Perhaps now would be a good time to start punishing criminals for their actions instead of dreaming up all sorts of goofy reasons to defend their anti-social behavior. Renato Hughes is just one more example of the result of coddling aberrant behavior instead of punishing it. Allowing criminals to avoid punishment for their actions because they are minorities only serves to encourage more crime.
