The individuals who did this kind of crime have been caught, all except one, and hopefully, that one gets caught.

As animalistic as going after a random person is, I won't be surprised if it happens. At this point, I don't think St. Louis will be a city I will be visiting considering the current events.

It would not surprise me if a decent, law-abiding Black person got hurt or killed. Criminals act outside of the law too. A regular, law-abiding Black person would make an easier target, especially if said Black person is alone.

Proof of this is the murder that took place in Mobile,Alabama in 1981. KKK Grand Wizard Bennie Hays was angry when a Black man on trial for murdering a White police officer. It ended in a mistrial. The Grand Wizard said "If a Black man can get away with killing a White man, then we should be able to get away with killing a Black man". His son, Henry Hays, and another KKK member did just that. They went out one night, found Michael Donald coming out of a store, alone, and kidnapped him. He was murdered and hung. The murderers went after an easy target.

Whites did do this though, it was anything Pre 1970's which resulted in a lynching party whether the black person was innocent or not! Im sure you wish you could go back to those days, i often see alot of comments regarding those glory days where a black person could be killed for no reason with no recourse and those people would go home and socialize right after. Yeah those were the days huh?

I'm still trying to figure out what "crooked the law books" is. I even googled it, as I didn't want my sarcasm to stunt hypertheric's brilliant statement. Is 'crooked' a verb? Did he/she simply invent it as a clever play on 'cooked'? If you want a statement like his to come off as anything other than foolishness; or be met with anything other than sarcasm....well ya gotta do better than that. So no, coming up with something better isn't exactly on my to do list.

The Grand Jury procedure was "tweaked", with a crowbar!

That better?

This is where I stand. The criminals who beat and murdered that Bosnian man, let them do the time. They deserved to be locked up for the rest of their lives. In fact, I think that is what will happen.

I also feel that the rest of the Black population should not be made to suffer for this. Let those who committed the crime pay the price.

Did you hear Farrakhan? He is starting it! That is one hateful, driven man. No where near a peacemaker.

What does this have to do with my response to another poster? I was asking someone else what they wanted to see happen.
