Not OP, but I am conservative, Southern and heterosexual. Does it perplex you I support gay marriage?

I'll explain to you.

Local media cover just about anything. The issue is whether the national media picks it up. Since I don't watch TV news, I don't know whether the national networks, including CBS, picked up the story.

What I found interesting is how the Cambridge police quickly denied this was part of a knockout game, blamed it on drugs or mental illness, even though they don't have anyone in custody.

Where's the outrage from black civil leaders........zzzzzzzzzzz

Cambridge Sucker Punch Victims Speak Out « CBS Boston

Well, the knockout game was already proven to be nothing more than an urban legend regarding consistent unprovoked attacks (they happen everywhere for years). . .and spinning into something news worthy

The media backed off of the nockout game after they looked like complete idiots for taking random violence and attributing it to some manifest escalating event

Witnesses said he was walking around talking loudly to himself.

I would be the first to be angry about this but it sounds like he was mentally unstable.

At least he didn't push someone off a subway platform.

The so-called knock out thing is not limited to black kids and just because a person hits a person doesn't make it a hate crime. All these attempts at making white people out to be victims just lets us know who the racists are. We all know that Whites are more likely to be victimized by Whites than Blacks and Blacks are more likely to be victimized by Blacks. Your message is clear, You want White people to feel like victims and arm themselves because the "Liberal media" is attempting to cover up real danger that White people are up against. This simply isn't true.

so according to you, the three white people who were sucker-punched by this black guy are not victims?

yeah, you're doing a pretty fine job of letting us know who the 'real racists are.'
