The young man is just misunderstood.

He looks like he could've been Obama's son.

I wonder if Holder will launch an investigation and consider charging the attackers with a hate crime as he did with Zimmerman?

If Obama wasn't a switch hitter, he could be his offspring.

You mean the human race?

This reminds me of the case of Marion Carl, the first Marine Fighter Ace of World War II.Killed defending his wife against some low life punk during a home invasion in 1998.

No, not blind, just muzzled by PC.

I can't believe no one has mentioned shoe sizes or what was eaten for breakfast. No comments about what music each liked or whether they enjoyed reading Science Fiction.

Why? Because it really does not matter for the story.

Unless one can make the argument that any of the above has a causality relationship and not just a correlation relationship with the crime, it does not matter.

It is not PC, it is a thing called logic.

Onkel Neal · 08-25-13, 03:57 PM

Then why was race such a big factor in the Trevon Martin case?

eddie · 08-25-13, 04:47 PM

Because it makes better headlines Neal.

No, the Martin case was about race because a loud and powerful political group decided to make it about race.

In my life experience I've encountered more black racists than white racists, or at least it seems so. If this had been two white punks killing a black man it would have been about race, but blacks killing blacks, or whites, is not inflammatory enough to push political agendas, and any attempt by whites to make it a racial topic is in itself considered racist.

Well, if you give someone a "Wild Card", they are going to play it if it helps their hand.
