Where Is The Outrage?

There is such a double standard in the MSM that even someone blind and deaf can hear it screaming and see it in technicolor. If the races were reversed it would be the lead story on every national media. There would be outrage at the highest levels and as already mentioned very possibly comments from the fraud himself.

The OP used at least as much tact as the criminals deserved. I'd call them worse than thugs. I hope they're tried as adults in a capital case. That goes for any 15 and 17 year olds that murder a 12 year old for a bicycle.

Yup, on all aspects!!

It appears my post using the word thinkkkkkkkkkkkkkk with a bunch of Ks was interpreted that I was posting in reference to the KKK which was not my intent at all. If you all read my post in other areas I sometimes add lots of lettersssssssssssssssssssss after a word just because I do that sort of thing from time to time.

There are some in that other expeditor site that took up the spirit of offense over the many k's and went off the deep end or to stir the pot. There was no racial intent or tone or reference to the KKK. If it was taken that way, get over it. Now, lets all have cool one, and enjoy life without to much of getting our shorts in a waddddddddddddddddd,,,,see there,,lots of d's...........and these toooooooooooooooooooo...

I took the K's out soon after that to correct the sentence , see below on the 10-25-12
Us white folk are to busy working and delivering goods and buying goods at wally world, u think.

Tim: I didn't attach any special significance to the "you could have stopped at 3 k's" comment, [just Scott being witty in his usual pithy form - which I seriously envy, lol] and the guy who did is the same guy who didn't see any Klan allusions in your posts [see post 9].
Stirrers like outrage, even if they have to manufacture it themselves.

Jody Lynmarvin Patzner Jr. was delivering a plate of lasagna three blocks down the street to a needy neighbor Monday evening just after 8:30 p.m. when he was gunned down in the 3500 block of Fremont Ave. N.

He was shot to death after three boys demanded Patzner hand over his bike. A witness told the Star Tribune that the boys were "harassing [Patzner] and stuff," but said "he didn't give them no feedback or nothing."

The witness said, of the assailants: "They said 'give me your bike... give me your bike...' [then I heard] Pop! Pop!"

Patzner, 22, kept biking after being shot, but didn't make it far before collapsing in the street and dying as several neighbors rushed from their houses to see what was going on.

Sgt. Steve McCarty of the Minneapolis Police Department said police aren't releasing descriptions of the suspects at this time. "Investigators are investigating, and they've decided not to release that information," he said.

Patzner's stepmother, Tara Hesser, told WCCO she has already decided to move away from Minneapolis in the wake of the murder of her stepson, who she described as a "really good kid" who loved music, NASCAR, and football.

"I'm ready to move, this is it," she said. "I gave my notice today. I can't live here anymore."

Patzner's murder is the fourth homicide this year in Minneapolis. Three of them have occurred in north Minneapolis.

Jodi, the victim, was white. There are several things in the article, as well as other incidences, which make me believe the perps were black. Am I a racist for assuming that? If the men turn out to be black, am I still a racist?

Hawk: no [if your belief is based upon evidence, not stereotyped assumptions] and no.
When an individual is named 'Deshonte' or 'Tanisha', I assume they're black - is that racist? I don't think so, I think it's a reasonable assumption.
If I assumed they're black because they committed a crime, THAT'S racist.

All you need to remember to distrust the media's reporting is that they all keep referring to Zimmerman as a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, when he wasn't - he never bothered to enroll in the actual program, nor did the Homeowners Association of the complex where he lived. It's like picking up a Boy Scout uniform somewhere, and portraying yourself as a representative - it's deliberately creating a false impression of who you are, and it's despicable, IMO. The reporters and editors are aware that Zimmerman has no right to call himself a Neighborhood Watch volunteer, yet they continue to credit him with an aura of legitimacy he never earned, nor deserved.
Also, the Zimmerman - Martin shooting was about race, in Zimmerman's mind, at least. The fact is that he called to report 'suspicious' people very very frequently, and they were invariably black people. It's hard to credit that white people never did anything he found suspicious, ya know?
I understand [and agree with] the frustration over agitators who scream 'racism!' every time a black person is accused or arrested or killed, but in this one incident, it appears to be justified.
I also understand and agree with the outrage at the choice of crimes that get publicized, and would suggest that maybe sharing that with the editors of the newspapers involved [or leaving comments after the stories] might be helpful. Or not - but it's what I do, anyhow.

Who is George Zimmerman, and why did he shoot Trayvon Martin? - CSMonitor.com

From the article
Quote"But Zimmerman's family, his neighbors and his lawyer paint a different picture: That of a devoted neighbor, keen enough to protect the neighborhood that residents, in establishing a local Neighborhood Watch group last year, appointed him the captain. The organization was not registered with the national Neighborhood Watch program, but was set up with the assistance of the Sanford Police Department. Zimmerman initiated the program, according to Wendy Dorival, the department's volunteer coordinator."quote

So he volunteered himself, and the neighbors and local cops let him, so what? If he were truly committed and honorable, he would have at least followed the rules of the program he purported to represent, but he didn't do that either.
According to Aaron Kennard, ex director of the National Sheriff's Association [parent of the official Neighborhood Watch Program], Zimmerman's behavior was a "significant contradiction of the principles of the program."
IOW, the Neighborhood Watch was specifically to watch and report, not to pursue. And absolutely not to carry concealed weapons, either.
The guy who doesn't respect the rules doesn't get to benefit from the image, ok?
Zimmerman wanted to be seen as a hero, but he wanted to skip the red tape and ignore the rules, and he screwed up, big time.
Having his wife testify they had no money [after they talked in code about how to hide the donations in his name by putting them in her accts in amounts under the reporting cutoff] demonstrates just how honest the guy is, eh?

Think again - tact (or political correctness if you prefer) has nothing to do with the point. Is black on white crime less offensive and outrageous to the MSM? It certainly appears that way.
This just proves one very important thing.... The liberal MSM is only on the social side of Blacks, when they can be used to make a juicy news story!!!! otherwise they could care less

That proves it, huh?
I'm torn between hoping you never serve on a jury, [you don't know what constitutes actual proof] and hoping you do so you can learn.

Quite clear and accurate.. sorry the ability to see truth escapes you.. MSM is strictly opportunistic when it comes to anything these days.. and the truth and reality are the least of their worries..
