Another WW2 vet killed

[Ridge]

I wonder how the good people of Mississippi would have handled this 150 years ago?

Yes, because blind hatred based on one's skin color to the point of tying them up and lynching them or burning them alive was so great and a proud part of American history.

Or I wonder how the good people of Colorado would have handled this 150 years ago?

Why is this crime different than any of the other similar crimes? Why is race always brought into it? Sometimes you guys get tiring.

Perhaps he was referring to the way justice would be served to 4 scumbags who killed an old man instead of simple racial hatred.

Geblonski Murray? A black dude is named Geblonski Murray? WTF is this country coming to?

He very well may have. It's hard to tell with the predictible Obama's kids comments running through the thread. When that precedent has aleeady been set, it's important to say what you mean lest it be misconstrued.

I think James Holmes could use a rope too. He will probably end up at the state hospital here in Pueblo on my tax dollar. Or maybe some folks think he is innocent too?

If the races were reversed, this would likely be labeled a "hate crime". I wonder why it doesn't work the other way around....?

1: Obama injected himself (and his "possible kids") into the supposed racial tension in this country. So, folks respond. Like it or not.

2: Yes, if the races were reversed, it would have been an "ALERT" on every cable news outlet. But we all know that only white on black crime makes the news.

This isn't news to anyone.

1) Obama did say that, but every time a black person commits a crime against someone, isn't a valid reason to bring up the same ole, "If Obama had a son..." crap.
2) These assholes pushed an old man down to take his wallet. I doubt the reverse happening would be reported as a hate crime.
