That guy nearly got killed in jail. He had to have round the clock protection. Good.

I don't doubt the man served, I do doubt the "story".
I've looked the man up on a few different sites that provided a list of names of all of the Tuskegee Airmen. I can't find him listed. Here's one:

Tuskegee University | Tuskegee Airmen Pilot Listing

Now, that's a list of pilots and the article said Rutledge was a gunner so there may be more to this. Not sure.

What makes this victim any more special than any other victim?
Being a victim is horrible for anyone/everyone.
Having been in the military doesn't make this guy any more special than anyone else.

When is the last time this specimen found an example of white youths beating or raping someone and then concluded that it was an indictment of whites? Yeah, keep looking.


EdwardA is the typical anchor baby and the enemy of us. His schtick got old with me quickly.

par for the course, i suppose
Maybe it's because a WWII veteran being carjacked is not a political or other controversy. I don't think anyone here supports carjacking, and the kids who did it were caught and are being charged.

Genocide means "wiping out an entire people", whether they are criminals or not. As that what you are in favor in?

Uh; this victim had to deal with racism from white people and STILL fought for the US. Now; why should he have to be a victim of a bunch of hood rats who are of the SAME race? The lack of respect is crazy.

But the same technique is used to paint a persons negative reaction to a single individual as racist against a larger group.

I personally don't agree with either but I see BOTH examples happening on a frequent basis.

^^^Amen to that. Just like the guy that got beat to death alongside Dahmer in a Wisconsin prison was a doctor that killed his wife and tried to pin it on "black kids"....oh karma, you have a wicked sense of humor.
