Originally posted by darmstadt View PostOf what interest or how does this story affect you? It's of a murder of a black man in another country where there seems to be a lot of murders of black men. There must be a reason for you to pick this particular story from many others. Would you have picked it if the story was exactly the same but the man in question was white and called Sam Smith?
We do know a man with a history of firearm offences entered a house where a more law abiding citizen probably wouldn't (it was filmed and not disputed) . We do know two apparent red necks drove after him in a truck and they were armed. We do know this chap apparently unarmed ran towards an armed man and was shot by one of these weapons.
Barmy, Nat & Co are happy to assure everyone its murder and Minestrone is obviously an out & out racist. I will wait for the court as it seems to be investigation & trial by media not facts.
I can see where Minestrone is coming from, the BBC have form for painting all deaths as being race related if a policeman is holding the weapon and the suspect is white. A bit of impartiality would be nice. Maybe we could deal with the majority of knife crimes or rape gangs in the UK honestly by not trying to ignore the real causes.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Both you (and he) have form in finding articles to reinforce your prejudices, like you have some sort of trigger that searches for you and tells you when you need to be offended by something you didn't even know about.
Is it zerohedge or guidofawkes or just fox news that you use for your triggering?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
