How do people like this sleep at night?

Seriously - there's an old saying that the softest pillow is a clean conscious.
Young healthy man sucker punches a senior that he doesn't know from Adam.
The outrage is....wait this doesn't fit the liberal narrative. Never mind!

A strong blow to the head of an elderly person?

There's your attempted murder.

Yawn.

How many times do we need to have a "knockout game" thread before people realize that 1) nobody thinks such activity is excusable; and 2) this isn't really a thing. These attacks are fortunately uncommon, largely because the few idiots who do it leave quite a bit of evidence behind, and are easily caught.

I'm not calling it a knockout game. I just wonder how (though supposedly rare) the country would react to an occasional white thug knocking out an elderly black man in the street. Maybe you would hear crickets....maybe not. What say you wordforge?
I'm just tossing the question out there, not judging, just wondering.

Ah, so this is about playing the race card?

You're saying evil libruls would criticize a white guy for randomly hurting a senior citizen but we love it when black guys do it?

How original. Did you get that talking point from Rush Limbaugh or did you think of that yourself?

Why the computer generated re-enactment when they had it all caught on camera?

This thread and its premise is stupid.

Just calling it as I see it.

And you see it in black and white, in all senses of the word.

How many more "occasions" would you like?

Here's a question for you oldfella, why do you think that it's as important that black on white crime gets as much media attention as white on black crime?

I'm sure it does happen the other way around. Think the ratio is about equal, comparing the percentage of the total population?
Maybe it is - please enlighten me.

There are plenty of places you can look for that information. The question is why it's always on your mind.

It must not be important because it doesn't get as much media attention in most places. 90 percent of homicide victims in America are black, (as are the killers) yet they are only 15 percent of the total population. To be honest, black on black gets the least amount, because it's expected and tolerated. If hundreds of black kids get killed in Chicago by whites there would be epic riots. So is American society as a whole destroying an entire race (and endangering the entire nation) by looking the other way and not holding anybody accountable for the sake of political correctness? Share your thoughts, don't be shy.

You still really haven't answered the question. Why do you think it's important that black on white crime gets as much media attention as white on black crime?

I just explained that I don't think it's important that black on white crime gets as much attention. And in general it doesn't get as much media attention at least where I live. White on black crime is much less common and when it does occur it's perceived as racially motivated.
The media wants to fill seats, so of course they focus on what is not routine - in other words things that are interesting and unusual and controversial.

It's not a "black youth" or "white youth" issue. It's just an idiot being an idiot. Who gives a shit what colour his skin tone is. He didn't do it because he's black. He did it because he's an idiot.
Why do you make everything about race?

Oh... wait... I think I know why.

NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.

Why aren't blacks rioting over black on black killings?

Oldfella fears the Negro menace.

We should just have a running "Oldfella doesn't like black people of the day" thread.

Wait, are you saying you don't think black people are being held accountable? The US prison system is basically black people, is it not?

" He fell like a one legged man in a kicking contest"....always injecting the "feel-good" humor I guess huh?

Not what I said - you missed my point. I said (or tried to) that of the total population of murder victims in America 90 percent are black.
At 15 or so percent of the population they murder each other at insane rates.

Ummm.......I make it about race? It seems there aren't a lot of white protestors/rioters in St. Louis. You might think "a kid got killed, period" but tell the community or many blacks in general that. It's not about race when the victim isn't a minority, otherwise it is.
Welcome to planet America.

Yeah, I had to do a double quadruple take on that one. Just more evidence of idiotic journalism.

And you have stats to back this claim? Hint, you don't. But not to worry, it's still disproportionately black, but closer to 45%.

Of course it isn't, because unlike blacks, white people have no legitimate reason to think that violence against them by authority figures is racially motivated. You know why? Because white people are the authority figures 9999 times out of 10000.

Awesome rant:

I'm not sure that I'd call it "journalism" at all.

It almost seems like a cross between TMZ and The Onion.

Boxed set?
