Is there a class for that?

Do you suppose low class people go to school to learn that hang-dog look they always have when one of them is killed in a gang shooting or drug deal or one of them is shot by the police or one of them is accused of rape or one of their friends is killed in a drunk driving accident? If you've seen any photos in the newspaper or on TV lately, you know what I'm talking about.

Take for example, Sir Young and his mama, pictured here. Sir and his mama are a prime exhibit of the classic hang-dog look. They'll be using this photo in Pitiful Looks 101. 

 

Evidently, mama taught Sir how to garner sympathy, but she forgot to teach poor young Sir that having sex with a girl against her will was rape, and that having sex with a 14-year-old girl with or without her consent is rape. Lucky for Sir, the look evidently worked on the judge. She gave him a very light sentence.

However, poor Sir has a reason for his sad old puppy dog eyes. He says he can't go anywhere, because everybody knows him and people recognize him. Excuse me if I doubt that -- Dallas is a big city, and Sir isn't nearly as important as he thinks he is. And he does get around enough to have impregnated his girlfriend. No explanation on how he plans to support the child without a job.

By the way, Sir isn't out of the woods yet. He has another sexual assault case pending against him, and it will be heard before a judge who might be able to see past his phony baloney expression.

I'm sure this post has offended more than one person, but you know it's the truth. However, I'm ready! Let the criticism begin!
