What other thread?
Do you really think I seek you and your wisdom out?

Either way, if he was killing random black people as a way to get revenge because a black person killed his father that would justify the conclusion that the killings were racially motivated?

Does anyone disagree?
An eye for an eye is not racial. It is the source of the pain to what precipitated that anger.

If a pit bull attacked a child and killed it, and the father took it upon himself to shoot another pit bull in his future ,because the pit bull that killed his child was not put down and lived it is a source of anger toward that entity.

Many would call it racism,but I don't.. it is close but it is more out of control anger more than anything else. The guy was a loose cannon because of his anger and pain. He also saw his girlfriend commit suicide 6 months ago so that really must have put him way over the edge into mental anguish.

Racism I believe is without anger. It is felt as more of a unfounded hatred because of the color of ones skin. racism I believe is more sadistic in nature and is sick to the core.

You're aware that none of the people he allegedly shot had anything to do with his father's death, right? Associating them with the person who killed his father is racial.

Your remarks give me the impression you either didn't read the story or didn't view the video clip. The answer to your question is pretty clear. Good for the reporter, and CNN, for laying the facts out there for people to make up their own minds.

she did warn people that she would be using “sensitive” language.
Of course, the racists are uncomfortable having the light shone on their ilk. That, too, is easy to understand (why).

Media Matters just got caught slamming Matt Drudge, saying that Drudge posted a pic that they did not post, It was actually someone else that used the picture they were referring to, I was impressed they did apologize.

Good. News should never be censored, in my opinion.

This is silly. Of course, she knew. She is reporting the news. She gave a warning. Big Deal.

I don't doubt these kind of things get hyped. The news tends to talk about the murders etc... when they account for very little actual crime, just high drama.
