I'm not claiming anything. I'm asking you why you claimed she was an Obama voter. Do you know for a fact who she voted for?

The initial reports showed pictures of both women.

I disagree. I don't know that woman, so I'm not making any assumptions. Furthermore, why does it matter who she voted for? She committed a crime, and she going to do the time. What is so difficult about just leaving it at "she did the crime, now she's doing the time"?

Why does it matter so much to you?

I'm missing something here.

What the heck does the killer's political affiliation have to do with this crime?

Ridiculous posters who see politics in everything. Didn't take long for this one to devolve.

Uhm..... It was a fight over presidential politics. One was Republican, the other Democrat. This really is one of those times where it is about politics. For some bizarre reason the press/ defense attorney refuse to identify who was on whose side.

No. But it is pathetic that some on this forum have so little going on in their lives that the race of the victim makes or breaks their self esteem.

I also think it's sad that some lack critical thinking skills and cannot understand the difference between this case and a case where the killer isn't so much as arrested (initially). Where the character of the deceased is put on trial.

Like most murders, the killer and the victim knew each other. In this case, the killer was black, but usually if the victim is white, so is the killer. That's right, white on white crime. Why should the public care about whites who are victims of blacks when whites kill each other all the time? There's never a peep from the white community about white on white violence.

Odds are even better that she didn't vote at all, but don't let me ruin your racist schick.
