Remember the pitcher in St Louis who was driving drunk and struck a street sweeper (or whatever it was)? He was white, but I guarantee if he lived after his crash he would have been arrested too. Race means nothing to people who have no prejudices about it. If a person's first thought (be they white, black, or whatever color) about an incident is about, "..Majority and minority..", that person is a racist.
Just quit it. We are all the same color under our skin. People are people and if they commit a crime, they deserve to pay for that crime. No matter what their social status, back ground, childhood, rich or poor. Did a man commit a crime? Yes. Did he endanger people while doing so? Yes. If anyone else did the same thing, should they be expected to be locked up? Yes.
~The only thing black and white here is the difference between guilty and innocent.
Sorry I do not believe he is a Minority...You all need to look around. so those trying to take pity because he is a minority...quit your weeping. He is commiting a crime like any other crazy person out there trying to beat the law, no matter what color their skin is or their "Status" is in this corrupted soceity. You all should be concerned about the innocent people who might have gotten seriously injured because of this poor judgement.
Who is it that is always screaming and hollering about the race card?? Not white people!! DEMOND GILDON- grow up! Yes we have all done things that don't represent our true character, but most of us also haven't endangered the lives of innocent people!! I for one am a fan of Rampage, but I don't care if he is green with purple polka dots- HE BROKE THE LAW AND HE SHOULD PAY!! Get over the race card, man- this is about breaking the law- PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
Im a rampage fan, i feel bad for the guy. but this aint got #$@!? to do with race. You think white people are thrashin him for what he did just cuz hes minority?..wake up! You should see the boards and forums of people thrashing Jesse Taylor after what he did, wish was far less severe than Rampage's incident. No matter what race or color, PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE WHO BLOW IT ARE GOING TO BE THRASHED. you expect people to praise a dude when ya big black or white ass runs from the cops, almost hits pedestrians, and hits 2 cars? i guess so, i guess its the "majority's" fault that he flipped out, all these years of oppression and he couldnt take it anymore..yea right
I think Rampage should pay for his actions just as any ordinary citizen should have to pay in the same situation. No special treatment of any kind should be Given to him just because he's a UFC star. If the allegations are true about what he has done, there could be some very serious charges against him. I also hope that somehow he is able to come out of this and make things right with anyone he may have harmed or injured and return to the ring and be productive.
Look, Quinton is a fighter, a professional, and in the public eye. That doesn't mean anything to the law, and it shouldn't. I'm a fighter also, and I've worked out with Anderson Silva and Jorge Masvidal and Antonio Noguiera, and violence is not "all we know." And he is not being "prayed" upon for being black. It's people like you that like to spark controversy. Shut up. I've gotten arrested for fighting before...and I've also worked with mentally challenged kids in karate classes. Is violence all I know? My best friends are black. And white. Does that make me a racist. Exactly, you all have no idea what you are talking about.

Let me get this straight a guy from a rough background who to our knowledge has never had any previous run inns with the law and has made something of himself has a brush with the law and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and is a single father of 5 children should be burned at the stake.Give me a break thats right UFC make an "example" out of him and show everyone that a champion that has made one mistake and has otherwise been a stand up guy deserves another chance.Get off his dick all you hater hopefully the justice system isn't as blind as the judges were on July 5th and realize this is really much to do about nothing.
I have seen this happen before!A famous African American athlete gets into trouble and the majority, which is white people immediately thrash him. All because they have nothing better to do then pray on the minority. When in fact we have all done things that did not truly represent our character whether people found out about it or not. So for all those who posted those "throw the book at him"comments. Go *%$# yourself GET A CAREER, AND GET A HOBBY and worry about your own miserable lives!

He's someone who did something bad. No one should break the law and endanger others. He should be treated like you or me if we did the same... (nothing more-nothing less). By the way, who among us are without sin? Smack-talk by self righteous loud mouths only proves what your closest friends already know...you're just a loud mouth phony. Go back to watching that real sport...WWF.
