Michael Brown tried to grab the cops gun and WOULD have murdered him if he had the chance to do so. There were riots because he was rightfully put down. Do you really want to go this route?
The rioting happened because of the uncertainly around the case when it happened. And you said "would have". He didn't murder anyone or confess to murdering anyone like the guy in this story.
There is nothing uncertain about a guy who intentionally drove somewhere, intentionally sought out his victim(s) and then turned himself in, confessing to the preceding events and murder. Not a single person would riot over that.
Could I borrow your crystal ball or whatever it is you use to read other people's thoughts? Or are you merely projecting your own thought process on to other posters? I'm sure you would have "never stated such" unless No-Recess posted what he did, so pot meet kettle.
(I threw in a few gratuitous eye rolls since you seem to like them so much..)
Have a nice day.
He's a point. Go and check somewhat latest thread where a guy in Kansas killed two indians thinking they were illegal. Some did suggest mental issues with the killer.
Of course the media will run away with the crazed PTSD vet angle, while others will wail on about how racist America is and blame Trump.
But this moron is just like Dylan or any other weirdo, narcissists who want their 15 minutes of infamy
From the sounds of it, people will be offended regardless of what "angle" the media takes. Dude harbored negative feelings towards black people for 10 years. He acted out on it. That makes him a racist.
Though, usually the "crazed PTSD vet" angle is reserved for older vets who lasted longer than 3 years.
And the article you linked to showed that from 2009 to 2014, racially motivated crimes were (as a whole) steadily going down. But then 2015 shoots up extensively. I'm hoping they release the 2016 statistics soon because I would really like to see what it looks like in comparison to former elections.
