    [rquoter]Quanell X claims Houston TV news station is part of plot to kill him

    Self-described community activist Quanell X says television station KHOU’s investigations into claims he charges people for his services are part of a larger conspiracy to kill him.

    From KHOU:

    I like this guy. On some levels, he helps keep some things honest...but on others, he's living in ToyCen's alternate alien reality. I just wonder how much actual good he would do if he focused solely on helping and not attacking. He has a ton of energy and deep down appears to want to help people...he just appears to like the tv camera in his face as often as possible.

    For the right price, apparently....

    Sounds to me like he's taking advantage of his own people. And doing it when they're most vulnerable. Nice guy...

    That doesn't describe that Quanell I know. Deep down the only person Quanell wants to help is himself. He helps "negotiate" peaceful surrenders of wanted fugitives. He convinces people that the cops will kill them unless he helps turn them in. What he doesn't tell you is that he also pockets the crime stoppers money for locating said fugitive. He has exploited the black community for years for his own profit. He plays the race card and plays it loudly and it gets him lots of attention and thus lots of money. Can anyone point to any person he actually "helped"? He's a con man, nothing more.

    OP, you're saying he wasn't already off the deep end?

    Seriously though, sounds like he might have ticked off the wrong people, owes them a chunk of money and knows the consequences of non-payment.

    I've seen this guy on the news before, but, reading through his Wikipedia, what good has he done?

    Anybody that paranoid about getting killed probably deserves it. He must have done something to warrant that paranoia...

    you guys are a trip.

    Say what you want but he has delivered quite a few dangerous people to the police when they wouldn't have surrendered otherwise, possibly saving lives in the process.

    What's wrong with that?

    I wonder the racial make up of the detractors in this thread.
    Have any of you actually met the man? Talked to him?
    Do you have *any* knowledge of him outside of a random news story
    or some anecdote someone heard someone else say they saw or heard?

    He is a interesting and colorful character that keeps whitebread life from being so flat and dull. Trip on Quanell.
