    I'm glad somebody shut homeboy up. The guy inserts himself in places he has no business being in.

    Protest over slain burglars takes a confrontational turn
    Supporters of Pasadena man who shot two try to drown out Quanell X rally

    Activist Quanell X and dozens of other protesters Sunday faced hundreds of homeowners and supporters of Joe Horn, the Pasadena man who shot and killed two men he suspected of burglarizing a neighbor's home more than two weeks ago.

    Families of the slain men, Miguel Antonio DeJesus, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, also were present.

    Yard signs lined the 7400 block of Timberline in Pasadena, where the incident took place, as well as on nearby streets.

    Residents and Horn supporters waved American flags and carried signs reading, "We love our neighbor for protecting our neighbors" and "Burglary is a risky business."

    Motorcyclist Aaron "Blowout" Morrow, 43, and dozens of his fellow bikers lined Timberline, loudly revving their engines each time Quanell X attempted to speak.

    "I support our rights as Americans to protect ourselves and support our Second Amendment rights," Morrow said.

    Quanell X, who said he is not certain the shooting was racially motivated, said he "wouldn't be surprised" after Sunday afternoon's events.

    "Our protesters were peaceful in spite of racial slurs," he said.

    Some attendees screamed "USA! USA!" when Quanell X tried to speak while others booed the activist.

    Numerous Pasadena police officers were on hand during the confrontation as were members of the SERT, Special Event Response Team, in riot gear but no arrests were made.

    "I just can't believe that we've got a race riot going on in our neighborhood," said Michelle Howell, who lives several doors down from Horn.

    "First of all, this is a quiet place, secondly we've got neighbors of all different races. This has nothing to do with race."

    Quanell X has called for Horn, who is white, to be charged with murder for shooting DeJesus and Ortiz, who were black.

    "Our position is that we do not condone their actions. We condemn their actions," Quanell X said. "But Horn acted as police officer, judge, jury and executioner all at the same time."

    Maritza Munoz marched with the members of the New Black Panther Nation.

    "Yes, they broke into people's houses, but it wasn't his right to kill them. What he (Horn) did was criminal," she said.

    Carrie West grabbed a bullhorn and taunted Quanell X during his second formal attempt to address the crowd and media.

    "We're just citizens standing up for another citizen who chose to protect himself," West said.

    Supporters came from as far away as Onalaska and from all corners of Harris County.

    Many took photographs and videos of the event. Most were outraged at the protest of Horn and the insinuation that race played a factor in the shooting.

    Hundreds signed the back of signs that read "I support Joe Horn" with bluebonnets and a Texas flag in the background.

    "It's really simple — don't break into people's houses and you won't get shot," said Kim Jackson, who waved an American flag while yelling "Go home" at members of the New Black Panther Nation.

    Horn, 61, shot DeJesus and Ortiz on Nov. 14 after telling police he saw them steal from a neighbor's home. Horn told a 911 operator that he intended to confront and shoot the men.

    The blinds were closed at the Horn home Sunday and two "No trespassing" signs were on the lawn. One noted "Violators will be prosecuted."

    It has not been determined if Horn will face charges for the homicides.

    "We will be turning the case over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office in 7-10 days, and at that point it's out of our hands," Pasadena police spokesman Vance Mitchell said Sunday evening.

    GREAT NEWS. It's about time non-blacks started standing up against the blatent intimidation and extortion techniques of people like Quanell X, Jester Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.

    Think about it -- if someone you knew protected your house (and possibly life) for you, how would you feel if Quanell X and his lynch mob came to turn this into a racially-motivated spectacle -- one in which a murder charge could result? These citizens did the right thing, and KUDOS to them for letting the rest of us know that this is how to respond to Quanell X's thuggery.

    Thanks for your thoughtless answer. So can we safely assume you're 100% behind Quanny10?

    "If you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If you’re angry that our brother is put to death, don’t burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb."

    I'm always out there marching with Quanell X's thugs. I also feel it was approriate to start a thread about this guy because like the Anchorman would say, "he's a big deal"

    All he's trying to do is reduce black on black crime.

    I'm surprised that so far I hadn't noticed that the shooter was Joe Horn. Was this the picture of the phone call he made?

    I just didn't see why there needed to be a thread about this considering that there is already a thread about the shooting. its just quannell x and a few of his followers and bigtexxx acts like some earth shattering event happened. its really nothing to debate.

    there was a looooong thread about this already...

    with that said... its sad that quanell x is trying to turn this into a racial issue. those 2 burglars knew the risks.

    joe horn was protecting his neighbors property. i dont think he should get charged.

    leave joe horn alone. if people want to protest, protest downtown at the courthouse. stop disturbing the neighborhood. the prosecutor will decide whether joe horn broke any laws.

    but even if this case goes to court, hes gonna walk bc this is texas. we are allowed to use deadly force in defense of life and property (even a neighbors property).

    and even that's a rip off:

    [rquoter]Let me inside you
    Into your room
    Ive heard its lined
    With the things you dont show
    Lay me beside you
    Down on the floor
    I've been your lover
    From the womb to the tomb
    I dress as your daughter
    When the moon becomes round
    You be my mother
    When everythings gone[/rquoter]

    Qx is a pretender, not a contender.

    bigtexxx's favorite person. he mentions him in any thread about race.

    actually he's this local "activist" in Houston. I don't know if he claims to be a member of the Nation of Islam or not. I actually don't that much about him but I'm sure texxx does.

    But why does it bother you that he posts about the guy? If he is running around stirring a fuss, why not let others know what an idiot he is????

    I am just curious...

    Why are you whining about him posting about someone you supposedly don't care about.

    If the guy is a loon or is stirring up trouble, what is the big deal?

    If this post wasn't here I wouldn't have known anything about the protests or Q-x (can't recall hearing of him), but now I feel more educated about both.

    Which is good, right?
