Newspaper didn't report on beating of own employees by black youths

[tinydancer]

Now the issue for everyone calling me a racist idiot because I put this story on the board is not that blacks beat two white people up.

But the issue at hand is that the reporters who were trashed by these youths worked for the very same paper that didn't report this till just the other day. 2 full weeks after the incident.

That's the key to this. It's bizarre and very wrong that this was hidden until the editorial.

 

[Rozman]

It could very well have been mistaken identity crime.

No mistaken identity.
The victims were white
and the attackers were black.
Where is the mistake?

 

[Rozman]

Or how bout this...
The guy stops at the light.
Waits for a mob of black kids.
Gets out of the car and throws a rock through
the window then takes his face and repeatedly hits
the fists of the hundred black youths.


Allegedly....

 

[Rozman]

I wonder why more white people aren't furious about this.
If this something we are supposed to accept?
To speak out against this will make us racists....

 

[iamwhatiseem]

The racists are the idiots like the OP and those commenting about something of which they know nothing yet only assume to know:

Memo on coverage of assault on Pilot reporters | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

Cop out as in big holy cow cop-out.
I call bullshit all day on this ludicrous letter.
30 plus people attacked two people without cause and the newspaper did not write the story??? - and this is used as an example of integrity??? HOLY HELL BATSHIT CRAZY if you believe that.
At the very least they owe it to the community to let the neighborhood in question KNOW that this happened so it...you know...doesn't happen again maybe.
The editor should be fired. You couldn't convince me in a 1000 years that if this was 30 white people attacking a black couple and they wouldn't have reported it - and if you believe that...well.

 

[Rozman]

Probably afraid to start a riot where they burn the whole town down...
They are an angry bunch when they get "dissed"

It's a featured story on O'Reilly tonight.

 

[WillowTree]

That is ridiculous!

As O'Reilly pointed out tonight it's a public safety issue.

Run crackers, run.

Excellent. This is outrageous that this wasn't reported. What were they thinking?

 

[tinydancer]

Run crackers, run.

That's not it at all Salt. It's that the paper didn't want to address what's going on at a major intersection in the city. If you go to a lot of the comment sections at the Pilot and other news outlets around the area, a lot of blacks are pissed about this as well.

Hey, black on black violence is the norm for crying out loud and a lot of blacks that were making comments were truly pissed off that mob activity was happening and no one was covering it.

Shit, this intersection sounds like the old days in Detroit where you didn't dare stop at a traffic light. No matter what colour you were. You just didn't stop your car.

White on white violence is the norm, it happens everyday.

Where is that racist dick tuck. We need his comments

Another fascinating aspect of this case is that an Iranian women gets to be called "white" by our resident rightwingloons while an Hispanic man isn't allowed to be called "white" according to the same rightwingloons.

So you have to be a rightwingloon to be uspet that a newspaper chose not to report a very big story that people in the community needed to know?
Ravi even for you this is a bit of s stretch.
If this happened in my area and our newspaper did this? I would be all over it wondering why the hell did the newspaper put my family in jeopardy to avoid reporting a story that is politically charged.
Bullshit

 

[Douger]

Not reporting race is only partly to avoid an accusation that they are claiming black on white racisim. It is mostly to hide the fact that these attacks are MOSTLY black on white attacks. To show this would reinforce stereotypes of black thugs.

No such thing. You have black folks, people of color and you have *******.
I suppose black folks would say you have white folks and stupid fucking REDNECKS.

 

[Douger]

The difference between a ****** and a redneck ? Niggaz B habbin gode teefs. Rednecks don't need nunna them thar teef.

When one deflection tactic doesn't work, try another!

I wonder what tactic #3 will be later in the thread.
