Who Really Got Played

I must admit I am somewhat tainted in regards to my opinion about this case. I have prior knowledge of the bloodline of the accused Xavier Crawford. As the old saying goes "like father, like son". With all due respect he seems to be a fairly nice fellow,but the "Snowman" as he still likes to be called. Isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.I just happen to believe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He basically admitted that they had an ongoing affair. He claims the charges against him are false and have no basis. I don't believe Ms. Vander Schaff made this whole thing up. What we do in the dark eventually comes to light. He hasn't been arrested because he wasn't there. I think this is just a calculated way of getting him out of the house. I predict at no time in the future, will he be going back to live in the house.

Ms. Pat Vander Schaff the former city councilperson is the complainant. In a couple of days there were as many police reports. She says on one occasion he poured beer over her head. On another one he forced his way in her house and grabbed her by her neck. After she refused to go to the bank and get him some money. This woman isn't your everyday run of the mill jump-off. She may be crazy but she's still supposedly wealthy. Along with her long line of connections, and the fact that she's White. She was a city council member for twenty-two years. Not to mention she is the ex-wife of a wealthy developer. If she can't do it herself, she knows who can.

Then we have Xavier Crawford the X-Man. What a befitting name for him. I'm sure it's intent wasn't meant to be prophetic but unfortunately it has been. This guy is only 36 Yrs. old and all his accomplishments are way behind him. In his high school days he was expected to do big things. Needles to say he hasn't lived up to expectations. He was named Mr. Football in his days at Trezevant High in Memphis. He was so good he received the key to the city. Instead of breaking into the record books, and running over defenders. He's been breaking into houses, and running over women. As I listen to his explanation of the situation. I'm not upset as I am sorry. Though blessed with a golden opportunity, another Black man bites the dust.

I hope Xavier Crawford doesn't consider this to be one of his finest moments. It has once again got his name in the newspaper. Any logical person would see the error of his ways. And know this is pitiful, instead of something to brag about. If he doesn't open his eyes he might not though. Based on what I heard, he hasn't. I hope twenty yrs. from now he isn't still walking around talking about how he got beat. That might be true but that's the way it goes. The promise of gold at the end of the rainbow isn't always true. If you live by the sword, you'll die by the sword.
