Random killing of Australian ballplayer prompts threats, boycotts

[data]

I thought the suspects were two black guys and one white guy? The article said motivation was more boredom than a racially-motivated homicide.

Won't we get any 'outrage' from CNBC, CNN, ABC, etc...?

That's too bad.

It's really very simple this does not drive ratings, but you are acting like this case was not even talked about on any of those stations.

And then people wonder why there is a need to have a Fox News.

Sure, they are biased. So are the other 8.

So why does nobody complain about Hannity and O'Reilly like they do about Sharpton and Jackson?

If it helps, I can't stand either of those two douchebags.

Nobody complains about them? Really?

Sadly, we are a group of 30 or 40 or so that only members can see. But what is the false equivalency you speak of? To what are you equating this? It seem obvious what happened here since we basically have confessions from the actors involved. They were bored and decided to kill someone. There doesn't seem to be any possibility of other circumstance. This white Ausy was jogging, and the kids who were bored shot him in the back; no confrontation, no argument and a confession from the kids as to why. I see anger from members here that are concerned as to why we here nothing from black leadership including the president who were all over the Zimmerman case even though there was tons of doubt about that. So much so that they forced a trial that never should have happened. In this case it seems the attitude is " ho hum, a few black kids shot another white guy. what else is new?" Not, how is it our children are capable of becoming such monsters and what do we need to do to fix it? I see no outrage or concern from you, only comments about other people outrage and that it is on Fox and over the internet. And I noticed you mentioned Fox specifically. Is that because you aren't getting any concern or outrage from the non Fox channels. That in itself should tell you something because they were all over Zimmerman as well. Agendas mean anything here?

You do know it was a white guy as well who did the shooting?

There is plenty of concern from non Fox channels this was on every news channel the past 2 days.

The white guy was their driver.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Looks like the topic is getting diverted from the incident to the news stations.

The white guy was their driver.

Don't confuse him when he thinks he's on a roll.

If it helps, I can't stand either of those two douchebags.

And I can't stand either Sharpton or Jackson but lets not act like they are the only ones using the race card for financial gain.

 

[Jiggyfly]

The white guy was their driver.

So he was not involved ?

Surprised you didn't mention Glenn Beck, he's the worst.

 

[Jiggyfly]

Nobody complains about them? Really?

Well I never see there names brought up as much as Sharpton and Jackson they are all hucksters.

 

[Jiggyfly]

Surprised you didn't mention Glenn Beck, he's the worst.

Yeah forgot about him.

He made 90 million last year can you freaking believe that.

I am? Show me where.

Or are you just making shit up to fit an agenda again?

 

[fortsbest]

White guy was involved as well, he was the driver and they were all wanna be gang bangers; and no I didn't know about other channels sorry. I was commenting based on what you wrote. I don't watch any of them because the media is just as you said, all ratings driven vs. actual reporting. They are not reporters anymore they are actors playing concern and supporting causes.

But my point is still the same. Black kid was shooter and no concern from black community "leadership" that you see any other time there is a perceived offense against a black person . Even here your retort is "A white kid was involved too." That doesn't make it any better. All three were shitbags and should get the death penalty if all is as described. We'll see in the trial. The fact that a white kid was involved makes it an exception not the rule. Stats are more blacks commit violent crimes than any other race both against others and especially their own. Irrefutable and sad. so what are the Sharptons, Obamas, and Jackson's doing about it?

 

[Smitty]

So why does nobody complain about Hannity and O'Reilly like they do about Sharpton and Jackson?

I do.

 

[boozeman]

So he was not involved ?

Imagine dis...

Two white kids, one of which posts he hates 90% of black people, have a black kid as a driver and kill a random black guy because they were "bored".

The media would be all over that shit as clear hate crime.

 

[boozeman]

So why does nobody complain about Hannity and O'Reilly like they do about Sharpton and Jackson?

Because two are TV talking heads, the other two are political activists.

What the hell does that have to do with anything, Hannity and O'Reilly have just as much or more influence than Jackson or Sharpton.

So in your mind talking heads should get a pass as if they have no bearing on politics?
