So I Guess No Riots Over This?
« on: August 27, 2020, 04:45:11 PM »
I'm thinking, given present conditions, there would be some new rioting if the colors were reversed. It may have nothing to do with color, but that should be going both ways with all the other crap happening right now.

Well, the lack of rioting is because the Police didn't shoot him, thus it does not count as violence.  Seriously, that is some serious hair trigger anger if a fender bender sets you of enough to shoot three people.

They mentioned illegal possession of a gun as one charge.  Makes me wonder what this thug's criminal history is.

It's only a hate crime when it happens to some nice black man who dindu nuthin, and was turning his life around.  Or something.

This?  Meh,  move along, nothing to see here.

I'm still appalled that some of you think that if we reversed the races, the reaction would be the same.

I don't think anyone thinks if we reversed the races the reaction would be the same. Only that, if we reversed the races, the reaction should be the same.

Cue reality check ...

No,  we did this with Cannon Hinnant.  Had that kid been black,  another town would've gotten trashed and the media would still be harping on it.

I'd like to agree with you but we don't live in "should" land.
