Well, according to reports, the racial charges have been quietly dropped. No more “Hate Crime”. Just aggravated kidnapping and ransom.

Care to take bets as to how this would have been handled if the races had been reversed? If a group of white kids had done this to a back man or kid?

Look, I think racially motivated crimes are terrible, no matter what the mix. Black/white. black/hispanic, Hispanic/white, White/black, etc. All bad. Any racially motivated crime deserves extra punishment. (Or at least special scrutiny come sentencing, at a minimum)
But lets keep it equal. No special privileges for folks just because they are poor black kids. (Nor rich white kids either).

These kids, by their own actions of the video, did this, in part, because of race. That should matter, if only ’cause it matters in other cases.

I tried hard not to laugh, especially when I read the descriptions of him and his efforts in the rest of the article. 

I mean, every single one of the stories shows black people acting like animals, never white folks, or asians. Come to think of it, I didn’t see and hispanics either. Nor muslims nor Hindus.

Odd. Why don’t they show those others brawling and fighting?

Must be the same conspiracy that only shows the Muslims as mass murderers with a religious motivation.

Or, we could accept that they are showing us what is the only thing that is happening, and that the other races aren’t acting like animals in a crowd. That the other races act like civilized people. 

And a great deal of those women say they believe the accusers because there are more than one.

Yet those same folks, oddly enough, failed to believe (actually attacked the accusers) those women who accused William Jefferson Clinton of his assaults….Even though there were more than one accuser.

I don’t know if the accusers of Roy Moore are real or made up by the Post newspaper organization. I do know that they paid for the accusers to come forward and “Tell their Story” (I don’t know for sure that William Clinton’s accusers were telling the truth either, BTW). But I do know that there is a double standard in how the Media chooses to cover these stories. How they are slanted and how they are reported (if they are reported at all). Was William Clinton guilty? Probably. Did he get away with it because he was approved of by the media establishment? Likely.

And there is the rub. Moore’s accusers lack credibility, but are being given a platform for their accusations. Clinton’s accusers did not lack credibility, but were pretty much denied a platform for their stories to be heard.

Oddly, the picture on it looks like Orville Wright.

I especially like the Whole “Set an example” bit. Great advice for folks who wish to judge others.

“He said authorities have no reason to believe Suiter’s killing was connected to his pending testimony.” (watch the video, he even keeps a straight face)

(And yet)

“Davis also said that Suiter is believed to have been killed with his own service weapon, which was fired at close range, and that there was evidence of a struggle before the shooting.”

Axxidents happen., yah know.
“Snitches get stitches”.

Does anyone believe that cops are immune to large amounts of money? I mean, thery are human, after all. Plus, this is Baltimore. Always honest cops in cities like that, right? I mean, it isn’t like LA (Rampart) or N’ awlins or Philly or something, ya know? 

And for those standing a post or taking the duty somewhere away from said friends and family, you have my respect and thanks.

There are those who believe that the whole thing happened in the manner accepted by the Warren Commission. Then again there are those who still believe that Santa Claus lives at the north pole and brings eggs to kids every year at Easter or somesuch too.

I still wonder who had him killed, and why….and how they got so many folks to believe that the story that was postulated was, in fact, the Real and Honest ™ Truth. (And part of me REALLY wants to know how they did it, just as an intellectual exercise)

Then again, I see all these folks in power get away with so many things, and the Media and the Law Enforcement folks just let ’em….and eventually we good sheep citizens forget about it enough to let things go back to Business as Usual.

But if you believe that Oswald did it (or at least all of it) then you either haven’t bothered to look at the details or know nothing about ballistics or even basic physics.

But then again, that is most of the folks who watch the news, innit? 

Just sayin’.
