Complete scum, yet people are lauding him and his behavior. How far we have sunk as a race that we have fellow humans that condone despicable actions like his.
Is it possible something like this could start the long-predicted race war?

How, you have 50 or 60 Ignorant Idiots backing a killer and a rapist. These people do not represent Black America and anyone who believes otherwise are just as stupid.

Who should go straight to the Soylent Green factory? I'd nominate whoever came out for that event. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that there weren't but just a couple of people there without a criminal record.

Yeah, when Arnold frees Manson due to budgetary constraints.

Sorta like what Nixon did in 68-69 to rid the parks of the Hedonists.

Only for folks who've been looking for an excuse, anyway. The actions of a few black people don't speak for all people of color any more than the actions of a few white yahoos speaks for all white people.

Speaking of, has anyone seen In Bruges? When this drunk actor (who's also a.... little person... it's a crazy movie) starts going on and on about a race war, Colin Ferrell (in the only thing he's ever done that's worth seeing) declares that he's fighting alongside the Black people.

"Who are the Vietnamese with?"
"They're with the BLACKS, man!"
"Oh, well then I'm definitely fighting with the blacks."

You really are that out of it, aren't you?
I apologize for that.

But please don't tell on me.

There's been a lot of thuggish behavior by police across the country so maybe people are getting sick of the corrupted police and thus, they are doing the vigil for the "cop killer"....

Just on the news today...
After a beat down in an elevator, Joshua Daniel Ortiz ended up with his nose broken and facing a charge of battering a Fort Lauderdale police officer. The 22-year-old Sunrise man was surprised and delighted to learn Wednesday that Broward prosecutors were dropping the case against him after reviewing an elevator surveillance video showing three officers aggressively rush and beat Ortiz to the ground.
Once the Dec. 5 video surfaced, it altered the course of the case. It contradicted police reports that Ortiz provoked and attacked Officers Derek Lade, Stefan Silver and Steve Smith.
But of course, the crackerjack investigation of the police somehow missed all of this:
Fort Lauderdale police internal affairs investigators reviewed the incident more than a month ago and found no violations of policy or procedures, said Sgt. Frank Sousa, the department's spokesman. "It was not a beating," Sousa said. "The video clearly shows that [Ortiz] made a movement toward the officer."
