That's as funny as the blaming of the innocent and defending the guilty. Most of us don't need to listen to anyone to know the difference between right and wrong...and thankfully the authorities are around, until they leave for the burbs, to pick up most of the nonsense.

Some of us were taught right from wrong and chose to obey the laws.

Others choose to do wrong, defend the guilty, etc...and as long as you don't mind living with or around that element, it's all good.

What a sad disgrace. These are the exact people that should never again see the light of day.

What is with some dudes? Burning, shootings, street fights, murdering elderly neighbors...Don't give me the poverty crap. There are/were many in low income situations that make do, or work for a goal...they are carousing around, waiting for an opportunity to murder sisters in their basement or do harm to people.

Hopefully he faces capital punishment, the same fate as his victim.

At least these shootings are just shootings and don't count in the Murder Tally. Glad we aren't counting just shootings. Lets just stick to statistics if someone gets shot to death instead of just shot.

2 men shot in Pittsburgh

Now is it racist to observe that most of this mayhem is at the hands of black people? Just want to make sure what the rules are.

Race-baiting? Nope - just making some kind of tongue-in-cheek point after reading the endless bs in some threads about how there is SO MUCH RACISM out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SO BAD! IT's HORRIBLE!!! MIDDLE-AGED WHITE MALES FROM UPPER INCOME BASTARDS!!!

Facts are facts, but how you choose to present them matters. In another thread I made note of this myself to assuage a potential transplant that personal risk of violence isn't high here as a white person. But you just made the comment in a borderline racist manner.

Or to give another example, consider the two following statements which say the same underlying truth. One is worded in an offensive manner, the other is not.

Quote:
1. There are pervasive disparities in standardized test scores, and scholastic achievement, between black and white students.
Quote:
2. Is it racist to say that black students are much lower-performing than white students? I just thought I'd put this out there, and see what people say.

As an aside, remember most of the victims are also black people as well.
