Senseless acts of violence happen all the time. A common gang initiation in LA is to find a random person and rape and or kill them. This isnt any different.
... but yeah, its Obama's fault. Lol!

It's not Obama's fault, but what's behind his and Holder's obsession with the Trayvon - Zimmerman case? Trayvon would have looked like his son, or him? How, except they're all (sorta) black? And so what? He uses the power of the presidency when (he thinks) there's a crime victim who looks like him, and everyone else is sh#t outta luck?
The Zimm case had a lot of ambiguity, no clear racial element at all--not even clear that any crime was committed.
But nary a peep on what seems to be an insane, racially motivated execution?
Holder said something like "we're a nation of cowards"--only obvious cowardice I see is from him and his boss.
Sorry I don't have a better sense of humor to make a big joke out of this--the "that could have been Obama's son" for every black criminal is OK, but it's played out to me.

read this kos.
none of these crimes have been about obama....but he made it about himself. now, when we clearly have a case of black racism and totally senseless death where is the prez? he found himself into the TM mess thats where the fair part comes in.

I don't see anybody being outraged by the 89 people that die on roadways in the US each DAY.
Or the 600,000 people that died from heart disease last year.

That Al Sharpton guy has got to get busy, that is a lot of outrage to be generating!

They're just trying to do the job that the school system failed to do in the first place. How would anyone know that they're wrong if no one pointed it out to them?

I don't know. Bad grammar irritates me, but I'm not that guy who constantly points out grammatical errors.
Just let it go, we all know what the poster is saying, so why be a dick?
Grammatical snobbery.

I live in Oklahoma, and it filled the first three pages of the OKC paper today. It is all anyone is talking about. We just don't have gangsta type shootings here, and Oklahoma isn't a very racist state. We became a state in 1907, long after the Civil War. This isn't Mississippi.
I know that it is big news in Australia.
Why are you bringing this up, The Chief? You are without a doubt the most unpleasant person on this entire forum.
We aren't as bad as Texas when it comes to executing people, but we are close. I think the age will prevent them from getting death.
You might not hear of it in California, but it has been non-stop news here.
The guy played baseball for the college that my dad taught at, in the town where I grew up. The murder took place in another town about an hour away. He was seeing his girlfriend and was running.
Blame the parents. There is no excuse other than to blame the parents when kids of this age murder somebody for no reason. I say this as a parent.

Yup, teenage kids that age have no idea what they are doing. They did not know it was wrong, it's not their fault. They were forced into a gang by the oppressive white man keeping all those minorities in the hood. At what age would you say you can hold a human being responsible for making his/her own choices?

Speaking of grammar nazi's:
"It's time to be taken life's"
What the f*#k does that even mean?
There's probably a collective IQ of 150 among the 3 of them, or dem.
