So apparently they shot whitey because it was a gang initiation, which makes much more sense. Obviously they wouldn't snitch on their gang once they were arrested. Link Good thing we wasted 3 pages on them shooting some guy just for fun and because they were bored!
It was their own words. At least know we know it was for a purpose, and the potential victim was black, and since one of the murderers was "white", then carry the two, divide by pi.... [action=evenflow]counts his fingers...[/action] Yup! Mewa can be properly outraged now!
At least we know this guy was bad, because the triggersman said "90% of all whites are bad" or something to that effect. Also, that he wanted to hurt white people after the Zimmerman court case. #thingsblackleoplehavesaidontwitter #justicefortrayvon #justiceformewa Yay.
What are Australians doing playing America's national pastime anyway? Why wasn't he in Sydney playing rugby?
Probably a little late but.... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/ch...s-lane8217s-life/story-fni0fiyv-1226700172461 If only some community leaders would get together and have a round table discussion with preachers, law enforcement, teachers, etc. and explain to these kids why their behavior could be construed as "socially unacceptable" this kind of thing can be prevented in the future.
Isn't it funny? Not funny ha-ha, but just kinda strange... ...that there is IMMENSE OUTRAGE and claims of RACIST MURDER when a white Hispanic shoots and kills a black teenager, even though there is no plausible evidence of racial intent and the shooting is very plausibly self defense... ...and yet... ...when three black teenagers (yes, I know the third guy's mixed race) murder a white man and there is clear evidence of racial hatred as a motivator... ...there is NOTHING. No real outrage. No claims that this is part of an epidemic of violence on whites by blacks. My point is not to stir up racial discord, but to simply point out that our society shows a shocking willingness to paint whites as racially violent toward blacks, when the reality is very much the reverse. This happened in Oklahoma. Suppose the three "youths" involved were white and the victim, instead of being Australian, was a Kenyan or a Nigerian or a black South African. How would the story be treated then?
Paladin, if you would've told me that three southwestern Oklahoma teens had killed a foreign student, I would have assumed that reversal. Its not out of the realm of possibility that three 4x4 driving redneck boys, with the obligatory confederate flag crap would've done something like this. We all know the narrative that would be in play.
I'm not sure whether you are intentionally missing the ways in which these cases differ, but let's start with the fact that arrests were made within a few hours of the murder.
Are you opposing that to the fact that George Zimmerman was not arrested within hours because the police had no cause to do so?
It isn't the handling of the cases. It's the reaction. Why did the media play up racism in the Martin/Zimmerman case where there was ZERO evidence for it, but not even mention it in this case where it is APPARENT? Because pusing a political angle: whites oppress blacks, and incidents like Martin/Zimmerman prove it. Incidents like this damage that narrative. But the reality is that blacks commit violent crimes against whites FAR MORE OFTEN than the other way around.
No. I'm saying that the reason people were angry was that no arrest had been made. What anger should we have about this case, aside from the violence sucks variety? The killers are already in custody.
The race angle in the Zimmerman case stemmed from his position of quasi-authority and the possibility that he found Martin to be suspicious because for the way he was dressed and looked, not for the way he behaved. There really is very little in common between the two aside from the killing of an innocent young man. But you guys keep going with this, it's very illustrative of where you stand.
Gul, I don't care about Zimmerman. This case, races reversed, Okie rednecks in custody, do you think the media would treat the case the same. Im not playing gotcha, just wondering what you think.
What authority? Zimmerman reported his behavior as suspicious in his call to the police. Where I stand? I stand against racism being up-played when the victim is black and down-played when the victim is white, ESPECIALLY when there was no evidence of racism in the case of the former and plentiful evidence of it in the case of the former.
Not sure. I can tell you that I wouldn't treat it differently. And maybe you aren't playing gotcha, but plenty of others are trying to do just that. It doesn't fly with me, each case can only be judged on the particulars. This doesn't seem to be a case about race, but is one about youth gangs and random violence. So when I see people demanding that it be treated as a race case, I get a bit suspicious of motivation.
Not interested in re-debating Zimmerman. But your final paragraph, very hypocritical. Note, I'm assuming your latter former was meant to be a latter, correct me if I'm wrong.
We would absolutely see outrage in large and loud amounts. You'd be hearing about the KKK all the way up to James Byrd and church burnings. And the leftists on this board would be right there with the outrage and the ever present demands to eliminate guns. Including Gul no matter how much he would protest he wouldn't be.
I think some people, yes whites, are sensitive to the constant race angles because there is a perception that a case is only ever about race when a crime plays out a certain way. We all know there are white racists, and that they can do some horrible things. It seems as though when there are crimes against whites, the race angle never comes up in kind. At least from an establishment media/politics point of view. As we dig deeper this crime seems to owe more to thug culture (another issue) than straight party line racism, probably the same for the recent assault on a veteran in Washington.
That last sentence is the main issue to me. When people try to make this be about race, they are diluting the possibility of real racism in other circumstances.
No arrest was made because the investigation had determined that no crime had been committed. Zimmerman had shot Martin in self defense just like he claimed.
No. I won't fuck off with that because you know it's the God damn truth. Let it be three white confederate flag waving whiteboys shoot a black in the black and you and the rest of the leftists on this board and in public will have a field day with it. And yes I do think this is about race based on what has been reported about the Facebook posts.
