It obviously disturbs you to no end since you had to create a thread about it?

George Zimmermann disturbs me as well yet I don't create a million threads about his sorry ass.
I'm actually more fascinated with media outlets thinking they need to control the stream.

This is one indicator that we are not getting the whole story.

I also like to see if the alternatives are reporting accurately.

Note: Never started a thread on Zimmerman.

Yes that is logical, but i am also wondering if there is an uptick based on race self destruction awareness and is there a movement to put energies against whites rather than like races. Especially after the horrible reporting of the Zimmerman event.

Have people of color, been inclined to exact revenge, and the media is not reporting it?

No.

In major metropolitan areas all crime is down.

If anything, black people especially are much less violent than in years past.

Most black on black murder is domestic in nature (as is white on white murder). Local media reports all sorts of crimes that their audience feels would be interesting. FWIW, most local medias broadcast pictures of suspected criminals and are in the courtroom during trials of all "popular" crimes, including black on white. There is no need for them to state the race of the perpetuator or suspect when they flash a picture across the screen. Print and online media does the same - show a picture. That is better than a description.

And the GZ trial has nothing to do with what you are speaking about. Before it happened, there were posters on here with threads like this one. Many stated how all us blacks were going to go on a rampage all over the country and kill white people based on the verdict of that case. It didn't happen. Why don't you all give it up? Black people on the whole have no desire to go out and attack white people. Media shows images of perps and victims online, in print, and on TV.

You all need to find something else to b*tch about.

I agree with you that people on the whole, have no desire to commit crime. No matter the color.
The stories that are on topic, don't have pictures, as they haven't been caught. So the news wasn't putting pics up. Nor were they giving the race.

It came from other sources.

I'd like to see the stats on crime.
I think it is more in line with the Fed saying there is no inflation.

Figures don't lie, but liars figures.

Look up the FBI statistics. They have all the statistics reported to them by local police precincts.

And in regard to linking stories, you can look up stories via Chicago and Atlanta media to find some. I know here in Atlanta there are frequent videos of black suspects shown on TV who are robbing white people. Even home robberies as many people now have security cameras in their homes. The news media broadcasts the video in order to get the suspect caught.

Did a quick search of the hot topic here in Atlanta where the east side of the city has been experiencing an uptick in crime, much of it shown in the media is against whites. Many don't have suspects, especially the murders but one did and it showed a sketch, video and stated the following:

Quote:

the Atlanta Police Department said victims and witnesses described the robber
as a black male, between the ages of 16 - 18, around 5-feet,
9-inches tall and with a thin build. They said he has a medium complexion and
very little or no facial hair.


The male was wearing a dark-colored hat with a red 'Polo' logo, a red and
blue striped short-sleeved button-down collared shirt, khaki shorts and white
high top sneakers
bold added by me.

They usually have descriptions here, not always, but usually and I don't even watch the news that often because it depresses me. The big story today is a little girl who was starved to death by her parents and put in a garbage can. So I will probably not watch the news for a while because I don't want to hear about that sort of thing.

NO problem was ever solved by hiding the facts.
Why do you think that the racial make up of crimes scenes should be reported?

Meanwhile a white-on-black, or Hispanic-white-on-black, attack = watch the race-baiters and semi-humans go apesh-t.

America is a pathetic, pathetic nation.
How great the fall. R.I.P. Uncle Sam

That's not very kind to paint my comment in that light. You should know better.
At least they reported it so it could be addressed.

Knowledge is power. With holding it from the people is criminal.
