Well, think about it... there is less need for political games pitting blacks against whites and vice versa. That is so Lee Atwater-ish. Hispanic versus Black may be in thing, for now, considering they are mostly a democratic voters, and going into a major election year. Someone not only conceived of that, chances are it is well financed as well.

I have not heard that one. And do you really have to ask. Most of us know already, the reason. Wrong color victim. Media, is pretty sick, because i contribute them, to a lot of racisim that exists.

The media shold not pick and choose their storylines for ratings. Any storys such as this one here, should be on the news. Anyone who commits these terrible acts of vioence, should be made public, but it appears, the media does not work this way.
The color of the bad guy or guys should never matter, bad is bad, color of who the victim is, should matter to everyone.

I want to ask you this honestly:

Do you really not see the difference in a murder taking place where:

-The suspect is unknown and the police are pursuing the case to find them
-The suspect is known and is arrested and charged
-The suspect is known and no arrest happens, based on the testimony on the suspect

People have to realise that often its the attorney and families representng them that often bring cases to media attention. They also need to realise that is often why many cases are moved as the legal system recongnises that the one sided facts often prejudice the case.

Eitrher way, say no to drugs.
amazing if they kill a wasp its an honor killing a righteous act defending the beloved community, but if the shooter is mexican or white its a Klan murder.

The major difference between the two is that the police seem to be doing their job in this case, arresting one suspect and looking for another. They did not just let a questionable shooting take place and conduct little or no investigation of the shooter.

You are STILL in denial? How about you mention that an EYE WITNESS gave testimony that confirmed self defense? You just don't have it in you do you?
