POLICE BLAME ZEMIR BEGIC FOR HIS OWN MURDER BY HAMMER-WIELDING TEENS

[The2ndAmendment]

“We think it was wrong place, wrong time,” police spokesperson Schron Jackson said.

St. Louis mayor police say race played no role in hammer slaying of Bosnian immigrant News

Time to buy lots of ammo, a horde might invade your neighborhood with this mentality from the authorities.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

If I get murdered drinking coffee where I am right now (a Target in a black neighborhood), is it my fault?

 

[g5000]

The police weren't blaming the victim, idiot.

 

[Wake]

So, if white people did this to a black person, under the same conditions, race wouldn't have been considered to have played a role? I doubt Sharpton or Jackson would forgo that opportunity.

 

[Vigilante]

Worst case of suicide the mayor ever saw!!!!!

Your opinion of what Sharpton or Jackson would do in your hypothetical situation notwithstanding, do you think that any crime committed by someone of a different race than the victim is automatically race-based?

No, but I know of a mass media or two and many people who seem to think so.

What do you think would happen if the skin colors in this situation were reversed?

 

[Rozman]

Any mention of motive as to why these fine young citizens were out on the prowl with hammers?
And how brave they seem to be...what was it 4 or 5 armed against one guy...
Race had to have played a role in this...
But white people in law enforcement know not to go there...
Don't want to stir these folks up.

So explain why ANY time a black is killed by a white officer it is automatically ALL about race?

It's not.

Are you under the impression that Michael Brown was the only black guy killed by a white cop this year?

Hypothetical "what would have happened if" questions are nothing more than exercises in bias confirmation.

There are no "mass medias" in this thread - just a bunch of Conservatives swearing that this must have been about race.

I am a conservative, yet I did not swear this must have been about race.

Do you think, when Wilson killed Brown, that it was about race?

Every single black that was shot or killed by a cop this year including one firing on the cop in question have been blamed on the white cops that were involved with claims of racism. Remind me the last time a black cop that killed a white person this year was accused of racism?

I didn't say "all" Conservatives did so.

As to your second question, I have no idea.

I'd say that race may have had something to do with Wilson's stopping Brown to begin with, but I don't think it would have played out any differently if the confrontation had happened with a white guy.

A patently ridiculous statement like this requires evidence to back it up.

You aren't sure? If you are a liberal, and I may be wrong about that, I have experienced an awful lot of liberals who assumed the Wilson/Brown situation was about race. Almost every waking moment on CNN and MSNBC it went.

Why do you surmise race may have had something to do with Wilson stopping Brown?

 

[boedicca]

Zemir was targeted for being white. It's a HATE CRIME.

A "bunch" of Conservatives in this thread have. A "bunch" is not "all".

See Rozman, boeddica, etc...

There's no word for what I am, but I'll agree that I fall on the left side of things. CNN and MSNBC don't speak for "liberals", they speak for themselves and their bottom lines. Either way, it's as stupid to assume that all liberals have the same opinions as it is to do so for Conservatives.

I surmise that race may have played a part because I'm white, and I've walked down the middle of many streets in front of police and I've never been stopped and hassled about it.

Too bad you RWnuts hate the federal government. Otherwise you could call for a civil rights/hate crime violation investigation,

without looking like hypocrites lol.
