...as a kid, I was always a bit embarrassed when the 5 o'clock news would be on and they'd show they mugshot of the rapist/murderer/carjacker who'd been caught that day and my Dad would go "Figures, he's black." I wonder, given the success of Fox News, if you could take that up a notch and make a local news show where the anchor actually says "Whaddya know!? He's black!" The Chattanooga bus driver who killed 6 kids: The San Antonio cop killer: I'll update this thread as needed.
Here in the south most bus drivers are black and once I heard one of the parents being interviewed on the radio ans she was black it was a slam-dunk that it happened in a black neighborhood so the bus driver being black was a slam-dunk. Fucker had no booze or drugs, but had a reputation as being a real dick and hostile - not a guy you want driving your kids around. Granted I'm sure the kids pushed his buttons a lot - but if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Yes all the cop "ambushes" are minorities (as far as I know) so obviously it's "payback" but it will only backfire because now cops will be even more suspicious of minorities. One of my son's old army buddies just became a cop in San Antonio shortly before their cop ambush! My son-in-laws brother is a cop right here in Augusta and is about to get married - no doubt his future wife will have her share of worrying. Glad I had a safe job (go ARMY!) for most of our marriage.
Damn! I bet Obama will make a statement decrying this cowardly, violent trend any minute now......yep, any minute now......bet it will be on all the channels.
yes, about twenty years ago one crazy caused a shit-ton of destruction & death in one rare event, and virtually nobody justifies that tragedy, nor should they. Now the total body count is lower so maybe that's why everyone is so about it. Or maybe the consistent pattern doesn't fit the narrative for the "paid outrage" crowd.
Yes, these shit-stains, the current cop killers, all these violent crazy people should be executed/put down like rabid dogs. But I'm guessing there is just a little bit more "well, you treat people bad for centuries they are bound to snap....." rationalization going on. Not saying it's widespread by any means, but it is out there.
Not an outlier depending on the type of crime. At a local level (the CSRA or Central Savannah River Area consisting of Augusta GA and it's outlying smaller cities/towns) out of every ten murders nine are committed by blacks - generally against other blacks, but against whites occasionally too. Outrage = The wildcard is one white killing another white, and outrage = No whites killing blacks in a long time, but when it occurs the outrage starts cranking up but doesn't get far Augusta doesn't have a lot of racial tension like some other cities. Everyone is trying to live their lives and get along. Having a black sheriff and quite a few black cops and a black mayor is (IMO) great for letting blacks know that they are indeed well represented. Either way the the statistical odds of getting in a fatal auto accident versus murdered are greater, so it's nothing to worry about. About 90 percent of the armed robberies are committed by blacks, but that is so fucking common it's not going to get a rise out of anyone as long is nobody is hurt. Everyone knows the deal - Augusta is very pro-gun and anti-crime. You want to pull a gun and try to rob somebody? You have a pretty good chance of getting shot yourself, and that's as it should be and I encourage it. bull = horns and all that.
So Volpone, you seem to acknowledge becoming the guy who used to embarass your younger self. Shouldn't this kind of personal introspection belong in the Blue Room?
Whoops, not anymore: Charges dropped against man arrested in WSU cop killing Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy dropped criminal charges today against DeAngelo L. Davis, a Detroit man accused of murdering Wayne State University Police Officer Collin Rose last month. "He is no longer a suspect at this time," Worthy said.
I guess we will have to wait for Fox rapist to get back from their ban before he admits he was wrong for just assuming a person is guilty because they are black and the cops arrested them. I am sure he will be humbled by this experience and recognize we should not jump to conclusions before the investigation has started. Oh wait I must have gotten the wrong brownies because I seem to be in a fantasy world where a right wingnut racist actually admits when they have done something wrong.
well allow me to retort! http://wgxa.tv/news/local/two-officers-shot-in-americus-suspect-remains-at-large small world! The last time my wife & myself were in that neck of the woods (the southwest section of Georgia) somebody shot a cop there. What's up southwest Georgia?
