kitchen table the $$$$ he kept from the grocery store hold-up when JJ's acquaintances knocked at the door and then when Rev. Gordon showed up. Should he not have hid the money back in his pocket? Why have that much money laying on the table like that if you are trying to withhold the fact that you kept some of the robbery money? Bottom line, you are in the ghetto, you wouldn't leave that kind of money laying on the table, no matter what!

I always think the same thing when I see that episode. They constantly talk about everything being stolen that is "not nailed down", yet they have all this money laying out right on the table.

Well it is his house, so he should be able to leave whatever he wants on his kitchen table.

True. But then why leave all that money on the table when someone is knocking on the door and you don't know who they are? The family had already received phone calls and someone already had shown up at the door throwing that stupid doll...people assumed James got a big reward, which is why J.J.'s supposed friends showed up, they wanted a chunk of the money. Who is to say that one of them didn't have a gun...or that one of them while beating J.J. up, the other could have ran in and taken the money off the table. If James was so secretive abt keeping the money, then it was dumb of him to have it laying on the table.

Becasue it's their house, they were in the privacy of their own home. You should be able to leave out your wallet, purse or jewelry if you want. When someone knocked on the door they didn't have to answer it.

But J.J. did. James either should have put the money away FIRST...or told J.J. don't answer that door without asking who it is first. Dumb.

I Agree, I don't know why they always answered the door for strangers.

Exactly. That in itself was stupid. So why open the door not knowing who it is and leave that kind of money on the table? Might as well have opened the window and yell to all of Chicago "Hey! I got $2000 here in my apartment...want some of it?" Why let anyone have an inkling of you having that much money, especially in the projects. J.J.'s acquaintances could have seen that money on the table and later, confronted the family later.
