They say a person has to decide on his own to quit, but how's he going to that without someone helping make that decision. Right thing you did.

I never called him a racist.
This is what I posted in that thread:
"Others can assume what I meant -- it's their ability to do so -- but I do not know that the guy is a bigot.
It is reasonable to believe, though, that the guy knew that this would get him attention, and at his age, it is not like he will be forever unemployed.
Who knows, in today's media climate, some entity might find his headline to be a positive contribution."
You're wrong.

KUDOS!
Zip... I've never met you, but the test of good human beings are often those situations which generally cause the most stress in making the correct decision and therefore are the most difficult.
You, figured it out here easily and 100% nailed it  , as many here have mentioned.

Are you jealous that I can get my point across in relatively few words, as opposed to your "War and Peace"-length productions that say little?

I suppose it would be tough for anyone to compete with the comedy that you delivered -- though presented as serious thought -- in the recent NYRA thread over the last week.

I strive to be entertaining...whether I am serious or not.
Not everyone can pull it off though...
It requires the occasional original thought...

Convenient, you citing the wrong post. Try this one.

It is a sad state of affairs in 2012 in America when people produce garbage in order to get attention. And they get it!
It's so commonplace now.

Try and explain "the guy knew what he was doing & "only fools would think he made a mistake."
Spin away. GL.

In an attempt to push this thread back on point, what you did for your friend was 100% the right thing to do. Imagine if you did nothing and then something had happened to the children that night.
Well done sir...and I hope your friend gets the help he needs.

Again.
I knew that you would cite this post. That is why I posted the other one first.
