but forums are supposed to be about the free exchange of views and ideas and unless someone comes in saying, "We need to lynch that nigger," there's no real reason to get upset. He's your man and I understand your wanting to look out for him, but he's a grown man and has to answer for his mistakes. If he was still just some dude on the block, people would talk just the same about him getting knocked. Plus, what if he hit someone, someone you cared about, your persective would be more than likely a little less objective.
