Why, the Baltimore police appears to quite concerned and active in trying to find information on the perpetrators and a victim who apparently doesn't care to report the incident to the police?

Or is your concern more about scoring points than seeing justice done?

Uhhhh... maybe not a bad person, but you definitely have a warped sense of humor.

Some people are like animals.. how do they get this way??.. desensitize them to being a decent person to kindness, ethics, decency, and brotherhood and make them also accepting of cruel and inhumane acts.

The violence that is accepted as funny. How barbaric is that? Some people get their kicks on other peoples pain. Some really sick sadistic hateful people walking around that need to check themselves to what they feed on and think. If someone fills themselves with garbage that is what they become. Vile with corrupt actions such as this.

Default is this crime being investigated by local authorities?

If it IS, then why would the FBI need to investigate it.

unlike the treyvon martin case, where there would have BEEN NO case unless there was a protest and they KNOW who the murderer is and he still hasn't been arrested.

Maybe he should have answered real polite like and they would not have had to protect their homes and families. We need to investigate the victim more closely as he may have been suspended from school at some point. Also he might be a future thug or child rapist.

You see how stupid that sounds? Well thats all things I have heard said about the Martin case. BTW all of you that continue this thread counter movement are seen for it.

I have to chuckle sometimes at the complete naivity of some of the people who post here. It's like they have no idea what reality is.

The fact is that MOST of our cities are tansformed at night. They are ruled by gangs and thugs...and unfortunately, most of those are either black or hispanic. That's just a taste of REALITY....and I know that I will be called a RACIST for saying it. But the truth is the truth.

The causes of white on black racism is not a mystery....in reality, white people stay away from certain parts of ANY city at ALL times of the day.....and especially at night. Now....what kind of a statement does that make about racial tension?

And the fact that our prison system is made up of a disproportionate number of minorities is no accident....it's not racially motivated...it's because these people commit CRIMES. Yet we have this attitude in todays PC world that these things should not be spoken about...it's like...if we don't admit the truth then all the accusations of RACISM from blacks to whites will just go away.

In the Martin case....I don't know what happened....I THINK that zimmerman was feeling like he was doing a good thing on the neighborhood watch. I also think when 911 told him to STOP following Marin that he should have done so. I don't know what Martin was doing in a gated community (if that's what it was)...maybe he was taking a short cut home....maybe something else. I have no way of knowing...and I think it is best to let the investigation figure all of that out. When the findings come out...THEY I will have an opinion.

Until then, we ALL need to realize that the suspicion that zimmerman felt over Martin's presence is something ALL white people would probably feel, and in large part, that is due to seeing and witnessing some of the stuff that is on the video in the OP. It's unavoidable....and until there is a realization from the blacks in this country that suspicion and racism will exist until they change the culture of black America from 'GANGSTA' and blaming white America for THEIR situation, it will never change.

I consciously hope every day that there is a new culture and though process that comes from all of the racial tension that is so prevelant in America. One where we all see ourselves as Americans FIRST.
