Interesting - Torture in Chicago

[churchmouse]

I'm with you there but I do find it interesting that coverage is different depending on race and so are questions about this qualifying as a hate crime. If the racial roles were reversed Loretta Lynch would be leaving her dinner early to file federal charges and you can bet the POTUS would have plenty to say about it tomorrow. I suspect we'll get crickets.

And this is my point exactly.

Just like at work when someone slams a coworker for not fixing something that I did fix, "I am not responsible for other's actions or inactions. I am merely responsible for my own."

I was referring to my statement that there is no across the board on the hate crime thing. It lands on us. Always on us.
And if one of us made the statement you are referring to we would be drawn and quartered. It is a one way street.

I think you're right. But, ever the optimist, I will withhold judgement until I see the reaction of our nation's leaders. Why? Because they react to everything else. If they are fair, then I will applaud them. But I have my suspicions.

I am pretty sure we will all not be surprised by the silence from those still sitting in the power chairs.

Well, I wouldn't want this to interfere with anyone's tee time.

About the 0:50 mark in the video Phylo posted. "**** white people" seems racist to me.

But I read on INGO that racism doesn't go that way...

Really not wanting another one of "Those" threads but when this crap is in your face and the spin that ensues it is hard to avoid.

I would only ask that we keep it in check please.

Eddie Johnson says there is no racial or political component.

Really, I just heard it on the news.

Any guesses as to how many articles are on my yahoo news feed right now about this?

cnn has it as a lead story.

MSNBC is more concerned about Schumer and that trump is having trouble finding "stars" for inauguration. He IS the star, idiots.
