Open your eyes says
Perrywood Gardens 2:55 AM. Makes you wonder doesn’t it. As Paul Harvey would say….and now the rest of the story….
Reality hurts says
“just about to turn his life around” I hear that phrase used quite often on news interviews by friends or associates of a person who was the victim of a homicide. What does that term mean? Does that mean that the victim reduced his/her drug sales by 20 % or his/her gun related robberies, assaults, and homicides by 10 %. Or….. Could it mean that they were trying to get a job, education, or take care of their children and become good role models? I rarely see those people making those type of statements really explaining what they meant.
Discount Dooooooblecheck says
Reality..um, it’s called sarcasm
Curious says
I have been trying to find a picture of this young man to see if I knew him or ever seen him around. This is crazy. No luck yet though. In my research it appears as if he had recently been stabbed in edgewood. If so. If the same person someone wanted him dead apparently. I wonder why?
P says
Yea…I can’t imagine why anyone would want this fine upstanding gentleman dead….
Curious says
Shut the fuck up you racist cracka. I meant it literally. I want to know the exact reason. According to what I am hearing he was bad news but I want to know what he was into exactly. What did he actually do? Why didn’t anyone even try and help him? You crusty pale ass white people always with your ignorant comments all over black people’s shit but I wonder if you have any comments for that nasty ass pervert ass white peckerwood who was recently caught for attempt to distribute child porn. Go back to worrying about why your nasty people sleep with their family members and rape children and let us worry about our community.
Joe Belair says
Take a pill and calm your ass down.
Curious says
Not as long as people think they gonna talk down to me and disrespect me. Newsflash I will clap back. You all always all over our stuff with your sarcastic and hateful ass comments well I am not the one. Worry about why your people are freaking disgusting serial killers, but you wanna judge and talk down on black people because we are a victim of this racist white society. Yes some of us can and will make it, but most are still victims in the struggle. Therefore keep your sarcastic ass shit to yourself cause I am not the one. I got news for ya’ll pale cunts and it ain’t good. Good day, sir!
Thought says
Go troll somewhere else.
Interesting how you resort to profanity, vulgar and name calling.
Hit “reply” and ‘tell me how it is” I really care.
Please, I’m waiting. I want to see you type more mult paragraph jibberish about nothing while wasting your life away.
P says
Ah…another internet tough guy.
Let’s see, he’s a gang member, has open cases for burglary, has numerous convictions for CDS poss and distribution and assault, was charged with attemtped 1st degree murder (along with associated assault and handgun charges) but that case was nolle pros, and may have been involved in at least 1 shooting last year, though no charges had been brought yet.
Yea, no one would be after this guy.
As far as that kiddy porn pedophile…f* him. I hope he has a good time in prison. I don’t care what race someone is. A criminal is a criminal and I have no respect for any of them.
Richard Jackson was bad news all the way around and no matter how you looked at him. My comment had nothing to do with his race and for all you know I’m black so take your racist ass back into your hole. You’re the one who brought race into this.
Curious says
you act like I am defending this guy or I care deeply about him or I am on his side. I am generally curious about why he obviously was wanted dead. I already did his case search and like I was hearing he was bad news. That is all I wanted to know and I see he was living foul. Again with your sarcasm, and for what? Trust me, your not black. Yes I did bring race into this cause I am tired of clicking on news articles and seeing you racists cracka spew your hate and no one cares. Well i do. One look at another article about this matter and you have another hateful whitey talking about the only thing that would be better is two dead. YUP. I know that’s how you white people think and that’s why I don’t get down with you in real life at all.
I don’t know this guy from a hole in the wall. Homicides don’t happen often in Harford county and one so close to home has me generally curious as to what happened. So please save it for someone else cause I am not the one.
mike says
It means he was being looked at for his past mistakes as a young man in the world as we all do we make a lot of bad choices he was getting over them choices and seeing the error in his past ways he was getting in to boxing traineect that’s what it means but how you know all this about him?? A son and father is dead smh why drag his man in the mud no one is perfect smh people judge to much try spreading love to much
KK says
This is to all you well to do non real life knowing bel air n fallston racist… live 1 day the shoes of real ppl before you judge. You have NO REAL idea about what goes on “in the hood” all u know is what the white politicians n the white sheriffs office n the white news reports tell you… you sit in your big ole house sipping tea counting money watching what the news tells you is true… n making judgments based on that… blind to what’s really going on… it makes me sick… you all have a lot to say but I guarantee not one of you KNOWS the REAL story so until you can get past ur stereotypes n stop listening to what you neighbor says bc his friends uncles brothers aunts sisters best friend told u some bs(all rich carefree Caucasians btw) ur all living with blinders on n know nothing of what you speak… if you cared at all go volunteer some of your precious money counting time at the boys & girls club or talking to some young kids about what they could be n could do…hope is everything… but no… you won’t… bc its not affecting you… right?!?! Sad… all judgemental without knowing the truth or even trying to help… might take to much time away from , posting negative n racist driven comments… shame on you!!! —the white girl! Smh
Cap'n Obvious says
Here’s something REAL and common semse, don’t commit crimes and you won’t have to worry about “people knowing the truth.” In fact, we can see the truth, its called the Maryland Case Search. You are found guilty or not guilty if you plea not guilty to a crime you have been charged with.
Are you somehow jealous and butthurt that many other people can live a meaningful, productive life without getting into criminal trouble? Weird.
Curious says
Although that can be true it really is case by case. Harford county/ Cecil county is racist and I have witnessed this first hand. Ask anyone about the Aberdeen Police Department. They are terrible. They are known to plant drugs on people. Then you have people going to court, their words against the “precious” policeman, who you think is going to win? So now you have a record and you are being labeled and judge by people. Maybe you were at the wrong place at the wrong time or who knows, but trust every person with these labels are not the bad criminals you all make it out to be. Now this person has too many of the same things and obviously met an early demise for a reason. I don’t judge him because I don’t know him. Instead I wonder what made him this way? What was childhood and his upbringing like to create a person that would be a follower(joining a gang) and commit burglary and violent crimes. You see growing up in these environments whites created to further oppress the blacks might have something to do with it. Trust me I know. Some people try hard as they can to make it and it is hard out here. Mix that with being judged by the color of your skin labeled a criminal you get your Richard Jacksons.
I am a decent person. I wouldn’t harm anyone, I mind my business, take care of my family, I don’t steal, but for some strange reason EVERY TIME I go to the store some cheap broke looking cracka with her cheap looking ass purse always has to act like I want what she has. Bitch please. Your clothes look cheap, your purse looks cheap, why do you think I want what you have in it. Furthermore, why do you assume I don’t have what you are so desperately trying to protect. You see me coming and you judge me based on my skin, when I could care less about you, your car, your purse, and anything you have. Truth be told, anything you have, I can go out in this world and work to get it for myself. Now this may seem random but I am just going off what @KK is saying about you all being so judgmental with your noses in the air. I encounter this all the time. Following me around a store, locking your car when you see me coming, clutching your purse. Please. I can’t stand ya’ll I swear. If it isn’t about getting money, or education, I could CARELESS to associate with you hateful, judgmental opinionated whites.

From Curious : ” I want to know what he was into exactly” If you are truly curious, go to Maryland Judiciary Case Search. Run his complete name. That will give you a place to start. You will probably not like the results.
Otherwise, I really wish this website would moderate comments and delete those that contain racist slurs and a wide assortment of vulgar language.
Curious says
Typical white people tears. whatever. Get over it.
Curious says
Its very telling who mostly is on this site and in agreement with what is being posted. Your thumbs up or thumbs down is not affecting me, stopping no show, or silencing my opinion. You wanna be sarcastic and then play a victim when you get clapped on. Typical white people shit. Miss me with it. Ima keep on keeping on and all you hateful whiteys will deal.
Curious says
What?
ToTellYouTheTruth says
The above comments represent what is wrong in our country. Such bigoted, racist remarks made by folks who feel they are so oppressed by white society. Let me tell you something, as a caucasian individual I am discriminated against on a daily basis. I know that I am not liked because of the color of my skin. One day I went to my mailbox and realized that someone had left me a white cracker. I guess that meant something, huh. I work with many wonderful people and a good amount are Black. I am nice to everyone and expect the same but it doesnt always turn out that way. Half of my ancestors were eastern European and sadly, some were likely victims of the Nazi Germany regime and after being starved, beaten and experimented on, were put to death in the gas chambers.
I’m so tired of hearing how oppressed you people feel. Do something about it. Stay in school and get an education, work 2 or 3 parttime jobs, don’t do drugs, don’t have 5 or 6 babies by 5 or 6 different daddies, if you are a male, stay with your family and support it instead of relying on the government. Save your money and take care of your homes and neighborhoods, instead of turning them into trash heaps. Go down to Baltimore City and look around, or come out to the suburbs where some of these people were relicated to and you will see the same thing. You are responsible for your own lot in life. Stop blaming everyone else.
George Condorside says
Just a FYI, but username “Curious” is just an internet troll, much like a troll anywhere else on internet message boards.
They (ie; Curious) come here to just rile people up by typing a bunch of BS.
mike says
White people have no moral ground to stand on when race is a issue that’s like a wolf saying to a sheep don’t run every time you see a pack of is white people created race issues they invented it they cause the climate of negativity and hate as black people we are just adjusting to the way of the land but spread love people
Hank says
As soon as you start making statements like “white people….” or “black people….” or whatever you lost whatever supposed moral high ground you thought you had and jumped right into the racist corner. I don’t care what side of the debate you’re on.
Marsha Boyce says
It doesn’t matter what color, a life was lost. Taken way too early. Don’t care what the young man did he didn’t deserve to die like that. I pray all the people saying bad things about him get a second chance when you mess up no matter the sin.
Observer says
So nobody at the press realized that this was the same man Sathrie Robinson allegedly stabbed in February? There’s more to this story.
goat says
You sheep wouldn’t recognize a warrior’s death anyway. Black was a warrior of honor living in a corrupt, diseased community filled with liars, rapists and opining fools. He did work to survive amidst you fucking idiots; most of which may not fit the MD paradigm of legal or accepted. 1000 years ago, you would have buried him with honors and sang his tales for the generations. Fuck you neck-bearded, Internet dumb-asses. RIP brother. I will continue the fight and remember you for the fools
Hank says
Too bad for you criminals we’re a bit more civilized now and are a nation of laws.
Plenty of people from bad backgrounds manage to make good and live full lives that are a benefit to society and aren’t drug dealing parasites.
Pauline Jackson says
First and foremost as a human being no one deserves to be murdered! Now as his mother I feel the person that killed him was a coward and that was the only way they would have gotten him was to attack after he was recovering from a stabbing, and for the people who are trolling the Internet to find out what type of charges my son had it ain’t your fucking business! He lived in the streets and he knew what it entailed. The fact of the matter he was MURDERED!!!!!!!!!!!
