This guy was an Army Ranger. He knows what's up.

I wonder how much shit his team is giving him for it. One black guy is a hero, and the other is a criminal.

I actually have 0 problems with any statement like that. Discuss the issue honestly, avoid cancel culture and kneeling for our anthem, and you're fine by me.

The "black national anthem" bs though, that tacitly says that if you're black you aren't part of the US. That's racist af.

And that's fine. Nobody is actually for racism. The issue is that getting shot when resisting arrest isn't a race issue.

Because like most single moms she instilled the “it’s all about me” attitude in him that she presents by even fucking commenting on this story at all.

The NFL is a complete dumpster fire. I mean pozzed beyond all recognition. Sure there are a handful of based players but it’s not even close to acceptable what’s taking place. Back when Villanueva got all that shit for coming out of the tunnel for the anthem was right around when I stopped watching and fuck do I not regret it.

You cannot call yourself a patriot and support this anti-American garbage. I know a lot of people weren’t ready to cut the cord 3 years ago, 2 years ago, but it’s over with now. They have injected all pro sports with critical race theory and the NFL is the biggest offender. It’s all part of “their” plan. Turn it off, cancel it, and burn any evidence that you ever supported it.

Do it now

She has no choice but to attack anything that threatens the world view where she's not a failure.

What if she considers her son being a criminal a good thing? What if she likes what she herself considers genuine evil? What if she among other aspects seeks to look as good as possible, despite her being well aware that it is completely misleading, and her enjoying it greatly if she ends up succeeding with her manipulation?

The criminal’s mother is angry and demands an explanation. The fucking nerve of these people.

Your son ran from the police with guns n shit in possession. And empty mag in your jacket pocket is a gun part. Your leftist asses say those kill people every day. And he had multiple guns in his car. While he and his friend in a shootout shooting out the back of his car. Car full of bucket holes minutes later he gets stopped and runs off.

I remember him coming out for the national anthem and the rest of the team stated. The time they covered it as he thought everyone was going and it was a honest mistake.

I'm convinced he knew what he was doing and caved, saying how bad it made his team look and organization look etc etc.

That said it's very nice to see man like him doing something different.

BubblegumStickyHair 191 points ago +191 / -0

And yet, EVERY news outlet still refuses to cover HOW Rose died.

He was part of an attempted murder via drive-by shooting, and he ran from the officer who stopped their car.

I cannot believe the Steelers would honor a would-be murderous degenerate this way.

The article didn't even mention the attempted murder part. I was done caring about Rose the moment I found out he ran from a traffic stop. You don't do that. That's how you get tased, and if the officer believes you're armed then that's how you get shot, because they don't know if you're gonna turn around and fire back at them before they have time to react.

Screw this guy. Even if he wasn't involved in the attempted murder, screw this guy. That's not what you do in a traffic stop and I don't care if he got shot for it.

The car was stopped 10 minutes after the drive by and had bullets holes in it. The two dindunuffins jumped out the car and started running.

Typical. Give in to the mob, and all they ever want is more grovelling. She doesn't care that the other 99% of the players are honoring her drive-by shooter son. Their submission has to be complete and total

I don't care how good of an individual you are, if you are not a TEAM player, then maybe you are playing for the wrong team.

It's very sad that a 17-year-old boy was probably raised so poorly that he had already embraced a life of violent crime. He chose to commit violent crimes; when he chose to use deadly force, he forfeited the right to live. I wish his parents had raised him better. I haven't looked this up, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn he didn't grow up in a two-parent household.

Tomlin is correct in that the NFL has opened this can of worms and allow everyone express themselves as they see fit.

"As an organization, and myself as the head coach of the organization, we're going to support our players however they chose to participate and express themselves, or to not participate or not express themselves, as long as they do so thoughtfully and with class," Tomlin also said, according to CBS Sports, adding that Villanueva's choice didn't warrant an explanation.

Honor a veteran who heroically died saving other soldiers.

Honor a thug who assisted in a drive-by shooting and then attempted to flee from police when they pulled the vehicle over.

To a leftist, this is a difficult decision.

Actually, no. I take that back. It isn't a difficult decision for them. They'll immediately choose to honor the drive-by gang-banger who ran from the cops.

It appears, however, that Rose's mother wants an explanation — because she isn't happy with what Villanueva did.

I've crapped out turds that were more useful to society than this woman's entire bloodline. She wants an explanation? Maybe some people don't like sullying the word "hero" by applying it to every criminal who gets killed resisting arrest. Her son lived like a thug, and then he died like a coward. To even mention his name in the same breath as real men who gave their lives for this country is practically treason.

Antwon Rose II was a 17-year-old African-American who was fatally shot after being involved in a near-fatal drive-by shooting. He fled while officers were handcuffing the driver. Gunshot residue was later found on his hand.

Rose's mother also wrote that she will use what she deemed as "negative press" as motivation to "hold the Pittsburgh Steelers even more accountable," the outlet reported.

Maybe if you’d ever held your dumbass son accountable he’d have decided not to be a j-boo and shoot up the block.
