The little boy who stole cars, broke into peoples houses and is a habitual trespasser at Seatac Airport is causing a lot of problems for the tax payers. The family appears to be disfunctional and unhappy with living in Tacoma. Here's my solution. Buy them a one way ticket to Texas or wherever it is they would like to live and bid them goodluck. Otherwise, this family promises to be a cancer on our criminal justice system for years to come. |

by fredo on 8/4/2008 @ 8:19am | Well, I suppose we should be grateful that he exposed some weaknesses in the airport security system. In that regard he's kind of like a junior version of Al-Quida. Most of Semaj's antisocial interactions however, are nothing more than garden-variety juvenile delinquency. Thanks for the interesting observation, Mr. Nachos. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/4/2008 @ 9:29am | If anything it proves the superiority of street smarts.
even so: airport security is a joke and little booker is the punchline. I hope the family is successful in their lawsuit against Southwest Airlines. Now that would be rich. |

by pongo on 8/24/2008 @ 1:05am | oh yeah, and he stole the car to led the cops on the high speed chase. what an awesome kid.
but fredo, maybe the gov't should be providing houses and jobs and other opportunities for people so they aren't poor and desparate. but they aren't a cancer. CEOs and condo developers and politicians are the fucking cancer destroying our whole world. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/24/2008 @ 10:56am | i dunno about hero... more like scientific curiosity.
even so, pongo your comments are like sweet candy. |
by fredo on 8/24/2008 @ 7:33pm | Pongo@ The government provides housing and opportunities aplenty for poor people. Ultimately, it's up to the afflicted families to seize the opportunities and try to better themselves.
I'm not sure how the nature of CEOs, condo developers, and politicians is related to the Semaj Booker problem. Maybe you could clarify this association for me. |

Don't take the bait. The reasoning is absurd and baseless - mostly inflammatory - an emotional flame toss, the sole purpose of which is to get a reaction. This is the substance of which great debate competitions are won. |
by NineInchNachos on 8/24/2008 @ 9:41pm | so yeah this one is for the N00bz...
just to minimize confusion. |

by NineInchNachos on 8/24/2008 @ 9:58pm | I abstain from placing myself on the graph due to conflict of interest. |

Wait, don't answer that. Anyway, I love Semaj Booker. I'm sorry. I grew up in a place I hated every minute of every second of every day and he's kind of my hero for taking matters into his own hands. The real tragedy is that he hasn't received a scholarship to a school for the gifted, a book deal, and parenting classes for his (by all accounts nice but somewhat out of her depth) mom. Put the kid on Oprah and give him something to do. He'll be OK. Or maybe I've been drinking too much wine. |
by scout on 8/25/2008 @ 12:30am | If loving Semaj is wrong Jen doesn't wanna be right.....
;-) |
by NineInchNachos on 8/25/2008 @ 9:08am | if anything he's proof that free-enterprise in our youth isn't completely dead.
|
by fredo on 8/25/2008 @ 10:16am | Nachos-Nice diagram.
To the Semaj Booker supporters-Will you provide him with the keys to your home and vehicle so that he may personally revel in your adulation? Or is anarchy only a good thing when someone else's property is placed at risk? |
