Default Didn't we feel sorry for Mad Dog...

....after his mother chewed him out. The look on his face after Donna said "she hated him and wish he was never born". That would hurt any child if their parent came out like that on them.

Then she smacked him and he started crying. Everytime I watch that, I can see why James didn't want to hit him. He even cried at the end, saying "What kind of father am I, feeling sorry for the man who shot my son".

Also, Mad Dog played on What's Happening. Remember when Rerun was worshipping the lettuce. He was one of the con people, along with that woman.

I didn't feel sorry for Mad Dog, not totally. It was sad what happened with his mother, but James still should have knocked the f****** daylights out of him.

I did feel sorry for Mad Dog. A part of me wishes James had just gone off and done something to him, but after seeing James' sympathy towards him shows what kind of man James' was. He is a wonderful husband, father, family man, hard-working man. He saw that Mad Dog was denied all those things and that it may have led to his downfall. And then to see Mad Dog's mom respond with words of hatred and regret, really made James see that what Mad Dog had left (a decent, hard-working, loving mother) was now gone.

Exactly. I felt the same. I didn't care at first, especially when he came to the house and pulled out the gun on James Junior. But after the courthouse scene, Ikinda changed. Hey, it's not like he shot one of my favorites, LOL.

Was I the only one who said, "Florida, what are you doing here"? You should've kept you a** home. I thought about it as soon as she walked into the lobby.

I don't know. For some, I had a feeling that she was going to show up sooner or later. James was right. "Florida, what are you doing here"? I guess that was just a way of having the two of them together for the the same scene.

Please, let me leave y'all with this before I split for the weekend/holiday. When Mad Dog said to Donna about his father, "he was a wino in the gutter". Wouldn't it been a trip if Ned the Wino was his dad? I remember JJ talking about him lying in the street. That's why he painted the Black Jesus portrait in the first place..

Have a nice weekend and holiday y'all.

No, I didn't feel sorry for him. If someone were to shoot my kid I would be locked up for murder because I would've killed Mad Dog.

And your point being? He still shot at JJ, Mad dog didn't know that he just grazed JJ.

If you have children you would know what I'm talking about.
