And this school district should be investigated, teachers removed from their positions and prosecuted.

Under Obama, this kind of thing is increasing. Obama enables it.

Bovine excrement so deep, one would be wise to purchase some hipwaders.

On a side note, last summer all the wingnuts and other assorted kooks started hyperventilating over a "hate crime" of an alleged victim in Peoria, Illinois who was "attacked by a black mob", this was something the notorious BS'r "Drudge" wrote in his online rag and the story was trumpeted here, and elsewhere, by conservative whites.

The story was fake, there was no attack on this guy, who is a local loon with a blog that Drudge wrote about without any fact checking. Shocker.

We have friends in Memphis and within the week after obama got elected there were those black people who thought this gives them a green flag to do whatever they want because obama will back them.
One of our friends was at a gas station and a heated exchange broke out the black person was hassling a white person and the black person said you whites better look out now cause we are in control kind of thing. There have been many instances it is just not reported.

As horrible as this was, there was only one victim, have you heard about these:

Chicago Tribune
13 shot, 2 dead in Chicago in six hours Thursday night

Breitbart
Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District

People say, and do, stupid things every day. It has absolutely nothing to do with Obama. If people justify their actions because Obama is President, it STILL has absolutely nothing to do with Obama.

And this makes it OK?

There are at least 30 threads on this story from when it first happened and now when trying to attempt to connect it to what happened in Florida. It's apples and cannonballs.

1) No suspects in the burning case. Just a kid and his word and apparently no evidence to support him. That and he was hardly burned, the can of gas and lighter where also supposedly left behind. Really?
2) The cops actually did their jobs based on what little, shoddy evidence they had. No witnesses, no description from the kid and if they did go to his school then you would think he would have been able to ID them from school photos.
3) No one died, there is no audio evidence, there are no videos, there are no eye witnesses and they somehow managed to do this all on his front stoop without ANYONE seeing or hearing anything?

There is a reason this died out in the media. I think it's because the kid was lying. I could be proven wrong once evidence comes out but try proving it now. He didn't like his school or he wanted to move or he wanted attention. Who knows but these are completely different cases.

That being said, I am not on either side in the Trayvon Martin case other than the side that the cops did a terrible job of collecting evidence. No pictures of the scene, no pics of Zimmerman beaten up, no forensic evidence at all. We shall see what happens but to compare this "burning" (AGAIN!) is ridiculous.
