being that newtown and aurora was worse, there
was not the same concern tho just because they
say so. precisely.
gth with this double-standard nonsense. the media
and the gov't deals with white criminals with soft
hands as usual. anyone else, there is much cause for
concern as if the crime holds more weight.
keep sleeping all you want tho, people. as long as
america can lose all its rights and it doesn't affect
white folks, it's ok with ya, but you are losing your
rights just as much as the rest of us, but you don't
seem to see it.
No, Newtown and Aurora became worse than BM after the facts were known and it's not as if they got insufficient attention. Gun legislation was almost introduced as a result of Newtown.
In the case of BM, there were many who thought this was done by AQ or some other group until the brothers were identified. Think of the implications - more soldiers would have been sent to die overseas, deficits and government debt would have been bloated further, US would have been subject to more international scorn. Implications would have gone way beyond those who were killed or maimed.
^ i don't see it that way but whatever you say.
the media is just trying to spread fear but who
knows who's really pulling the strings. they
might all be working together to just dumb us
down.

You don't see it that way? Wasn't there a lot of press coverage after Newtown? Didn't the NRA take a defensive position in the wake of the public outrage? Wasn't there a nationwide debate on the right to bear arms? Didn't Manchin and Toomey introduce an amendment to expand background checks for gun buyers? It's plain and obvious that Newtown (preceded by Aurora) got its fair share of publicity. If you "don't see it that way" its because you choose to disregard the facts.
And if history (and the way Americans form their opinions) were to be the judge, BM certainly deserved all the coverage and attention it got. Think about it. If it was yourself or your own kids being conscripted to go to war, you would certainly worry about it.
^ ok, if i am disregarding the facts, what are you doing?
trying to tell me how to think now?
with this boston thing, they have to figure out if they're
enemy combatants and all this blah blah blah. with aurora
and arizona, they have to examine their brains and all this
extra sensitive stuff first. who's really disregarding the
facts here yo? there's a double standard depending on
your color or background. just admit it.
boston is supposed to make you patriotic about everything
but connecticut is not? come on guy.
What I am doing is saying that what you have been posting about BM and Newtown is simply not true. Come on now. Are you saying that Newtown in and of itself didn't get enough attention from the press, the public and the government? Everything in the public domain proves that Newtown got its fair share. You're deluding yourself 11KAP.
And your understanding of BM is so wrong. It's not about being patriotic. It's about possibly being dragged into another war. As I posted earlier, you would probably give this more thought if it was yourself, your own kids or the kids of your loved ones being conscripted to possible death. Many families and communities who weren't near Boston at the time of the incident would have something personal at stake.
Yes you were wrong. It's evident from your initial post that you did not consider the risk of war or expanded international conflict as a result of the bombing and the impact it would have had on thousands more families who were not part of the attack. See? After the suspects were identified, public anger appears to have toned down compared with the days immediately after the bombing.
i still don't see it your way or the way the media brainwashed you
to view it.
the boy is not even being charged as an enemy combatant anyway,
so your int'l conspiracy outlook is not even accurate at best.
anyway...ct and ok city and aurora was a much bigger reason to be on
edge than this yo. you never know, the next war in the usa might be
domestic, not necessarily from an international threat.
