I see no point of decrying criminal acts online, and I especially see no point in discussing what happens amongst black folks on a forum that is overwhelmingly white and pretty racist to boot.
If by racist you mean not afraid to speak the truth, especially to those unwilling to listen to it, then thank God for all us racists!

Those two idiots have nothing to say about real issues when there is no chance to line their pockets. RIP to this beautiful girl. Hope those two thugs rot their lives out in jail.

This is one of those cases where I'd rather see some vigilante justice dished out by her cousins and friends.
I know, I know, call me a barbarian. Point taken, but still...

My question for you though, is why do black people protest and burn down businesses when cops (both black and white) kill a black man that was a criminal, but hardly a peep from the black community for the death of a young beautiful black girl killed by blacks?

I would think they would have it the other way around. I could care less if a criminal is killed in the course of a crime or being arrested. White or black. I would go ape**** if someone killed a 16 year old family member.

I guess I just don't understand the logic of that, why protest so much for a criminal but nothing for the innocent girl.
Do I really have to spell it out? The difference in reaction between blacks being killed by white cops and blacks being killed by other blacks is due to the imbalance of authority and status between the killer and the victim. The same reason people get upset when a white cop kills an unarmed white person, but there is much less uproar when a homeless white guy kills a white prostitute. It's sad, but that's the way it is.

Cops represent authority, and when they abuse that authority people get upset. The black community feels cops abuse their authority more often against black people.

It is no different than Cleveland, Detroit, Newark, or St. Louis, and you can thank the politicians at every level of government for making those once great cities hellholes.

Detroit is in a league of its own, ruined beyond fixing. St Louis and Baltimore are very bad and working on being the next Detroit. Cleveland has gotten better and at least improving. Chicago and NYC have issues but still large parts of those cities are nice and even have tourist attractions. They should not be lumped in with above cites at all.

As far as the poor girl in Baltimore and what happened to her, well where is Denzel Washington when you need him. Time to go Equalizer on all those sick inhuman gang members, or if your old enough to remember the old Death Wish movies go Charles Bronson on em. People who commit crimes like that are not human anymore and do not deserve to draw air.
