I doubt you even read the story.
Next.
Are you dense as well?

In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

In 2011, an estimated 1,203,564 violent crimes occurred nationwide

Over a million violent crimes if .01% of those crimes received national media attention that would be 12,036 crimes. You think the national media highlights 12,036 violent a year? LOLOLOLOLOL?

What I wrote stands, 99.99% of violent crimes don't receive national media attention.

I know there are some decent ones who make an attempt to be civil...but just as with whites it is all about background- how you were raised...how well bred you are...It really bugs me when any group of savages black or white - swarm and beat a person...Makes you want to dig a big pit and push the retards into it....You can reason with some and some will never be reasonable...just plain stupid- combine that with violence=useless.
My perception of City data posters who claim to be canadian and have the user name Oleg Bach is that they are racist.

.01% of 1,203,564 is actually 120.3564, genius. Who's the dense one?
LOLOLOLOLOL that one off.

You are correct. I made a very simple mistake.

Still my point stands. You think there were 120 violent crimes highlighted by the national media?


No, there weren't. Very, very few violent crimes receive national media attention. So the fact that any individual violent crime doesn't receive national attention is the norm.

A simple mistake that was wrong by one hundred times. And yes, I do.

You've been beat up before (although i'm sure it didn't take 3 people to do it), did you run to the media and report it?

Bringing two co-p***ies along to fight one kid speaks for itself as does your defense of the chicken-**** practice.

Matt Drudge took to running photo's of criminals or mob scenes and portraying them as some sort of race war that was being unreported by the media.

conservatives are fairly racist. Most violent crimes in this nation receive zero national media attention be it intraracial or interracial.

Yet conservatives are pretending that any incident they can find that involves black people hurting white people is the height of some race war being carried out by black people en-mass against white people with the President's approval and the media's silence. Very sad and dangerous ideas that are floating around mainstream conservatives.

Ah yes, another "conservatives are racist, blah blah blah rant!!!" Repeating a lie over and over numerous times doesn't make it true you know.

Yes, it was incorrect, but the basic premise stays the same. The national media doesn't cover 120 violent crimes in any year. Please list some violent crimes that received national coverage. This should be extremely enlightening.

It also doesn't change that there are over a 1million violent crimes committed in this nation every year. Only a tiny, tiny fraction of those cases receives national media attention.

So again, finding a violent crime that didn't receive national media attention is the norm and not indicative of some ulterior motive, because 99.99% of violent crimes in America don't receive any national media coverage.
