I wouldnt no, but when a young man is killed while attacking someone I'd say it deserves no special attention. It got none either for almost a month until MSN decided to turn it into a circus. Wasnt even about race until all the racists like Sharpton & the NAACP got ahold of it, them & the Black Pandas.

We'll get to Trayvon. For you, why would a cop killing a citizen be more deserving of coverage than any other killing in the streets?

You don't know where I'm going w/ this scenario, so to say that there's not a comparison to be made is bad faith, and shows someone too arrogant in their limited view to entertain anything that could change it.

Or maybe you do know where I'm going with this, and that's why you're being elusive...

Lol... so when Obama expresses condolences, he's inciting a race war? What about when the White Republicans comment on this case? What are they inciting?

So are you going to blame every black on white crime on Obama?

Alrighty then... I'll play your game, but first let me ask you... Are there hundreds of similar incidents annually in your scenario??

Good folks, please do not discuss the other posters. It's off topic and some have bordered on personal attacks and flaming.
