People upset news showed Guy who saved sister from rapist

[JI7]

first of all the guy is a hero, he fought off some scumbag who was trying to rape his sister. he saved his sister. some news station went there to report on it and showed her brother , but many people were critical of it because they said he represented negative stereotypes.

2. I thought Antoine came across as a hero and

a bit of a character. I'm glad he was able to save his sister and I think her attacker is more likely to be caught because he made waves.

4. I'm not getting the controversy

the guy is who he is..he is passionate about his families safety. Because some people grabbed up the character he is and is having fun with it shouldn't bother anyone. It seems to me that a perpetuation of truly negative stereotypes can be found much more offensively in the character Snoop plays all the time, in every appearance...don't hear nobody bitching about him. This family are obviously poor or they wouldn't be living in the projects, I hope they can make something off of this bad event...turn lemons into lemonade and all that..

5. yeah, this is a case where i wouldn't have a problem with Antoine trying to make

something from the attention. also that is just how he is naturally. and the guy is a real hero .
