Who's to say he is crazy? I don't think anyone has opined on that one, or have they? No need, really. The reason so many White killers are "crazy" is because they go to court. Of course the insanity plea is made. Look at one of the more famous Black killers...Lee Malvo...guess what he tried when HE went to court...the crazy defense. It's pretty standard, and I don't think its a racially motivated thing. However, THIS killer is dead, so he didn't get a chance to play crazy for the media.
Crazy defense may well have saved his life, as tenuous as it was. For the record, I'd agree. He's crazy. Unfortunately, the type of crazy he was was dissociative crazy. He new perfectly well what he was doing when he was doing it, he just then (and to this day) isn't really bothered by it.

Exactly. "Crazy" is a relative term. However, in court...EVERYONE wants the label!
Bunch of Irish Italian thugs from Long Island and Westchester using public funds to hire their aunts uncles etc in a world with 60% youth unemployment. A whitwashed way to steal from the poor (from self professed Catholics no less rofl).
NYPD is a civil service exam. Currently dumber down so more runts like you can pass it. The poor in NYC pay no taxes, but monopolize NYC's services, whether it's failing schools, Dickensian hospitals, or public housing. You fit right in.
It seems that there are a lot of people here who don't understand the basics of our criminal justice system. It's really not hard to figure out.
If you have a TV and cable, watching the following reality shows (which seem to be on all the time) can help: "Cops", "Jail", "Lock-Up", "Forensic Files", "Judge Judy", "48 Hours", "Scared Straight", etc.
See, you don't even have to go to school, know history, or anything hard like that!
I assume (based on your previous posts full of ignorance) that you don't know this, but blacks are the fastest shrinking population in NYC. How does it benefit DeBlasio to have his political base withering away?
I will tell you a little secret: Black Americans (descendants of american slaves) have been fleeing NYC for years. There really aren't that many here anymore. Most of the blacks that are in NYC are of FOREIGN extraction. Many are first, second generation and naturalized citizens who voted Bill into office.
Also, many hispanics voted for him too. You make it seem like it was only black people that elected him. No, it wasn't. Mostly everyone living in the five boroughs hated Bloomberg. There really IS a TALE OF TWO CITIES with damn near everyone in outerboroughs living in poverty situations, while the mayor kept lying about well the city was doing when it wasn't.

When Dinkins ran for mayor, blacks were 30% of the city.
Why do you people keep bringing up Dinkins as though only blacks voted for the man??
she's conveniently omitted the witnesses (many of them black) who did corroborate the officer's account. Next she'll be telling us he didn't commit that strong-arm robbery and physically bully the shop owner.
This bint is all over the NYC forum with the same crap.

Sorry, not a secret, used to live in Brooklyn, and I'm well aware that blacks in NYC are often West Indian (in fact I dated a beautiful lady from E. Flatbush whose family is originally from Bahamas). I think it's well known that the black population in NYC is less "African American" and more "Carribean" these days.

Nope, I never said that. Re-read my post. His CURRENT approval ratings are in the toilet for all racial groups except for blacks. In fact whites were the biggest voters for DeBlasio in the election.
My point is that you can't win a citywide election in NYC by appealing to a single group. You have to be inclusive, or you'll lose. DeBlasio is divisive, and bound to lose. You can't be the "black candidate" and win an election when most people in the city aren't black. And blacks are smart voters; they will see the phoniness too, eventually.
I think a lot of people egging on that nut by their chanting about killing cops and the major in particular have blood on their hands; plain and simple. But then it goes far beyond just them; its goes to the rule of law which without no civil society can exist. I didn't think OJ was innocent but I didn't go encouraging lynch mobs either.
