The DA and the police chief said no evidence of a hate crime before they even interviewed the suspects! Now thats what I say is the beginning of a crap investigation.

Now one person injured was black but those injuries happened because he tried to help the white victim. His helping angered the black mob who targeted only white people.

I’m tired of the double standards and its so obvious here.

Here is something that police are NOT encouraged to do when interviewing victims of black on white crime...

“Did you at anytime before, during or after the attack remember the use of any racial epitaths used against you or any other party?”

In a radio program yesterday, an interview with the mother of the mean teen said he had anger problems and mentioned in the same breath that his dad “ Don’t come around.”

He is probably coming around at another address.

Racial epitaph: "The dear departed was OK for a white guy."

When is the refusal to recognize a hate crime a hate crime itself?

I think you mean epithet, not epitaph.

Things like this is why concealed carry is so important.

There are sections of Memphis like Detroit no sane person would go with out their carry piece. Orange Mound is one. BUT if you’ve never been to Memphis you don’t know where it is located, as it is a set of Blocks termed Orange Mound. Not a specific on the map place. You don’t go there even in the day time with out a gun. This area of Popular where the 2 crimes went down, is not in what is termed a ‘bad neighborhood’.

That is the opposite end of Poplar which houses the Shelby Co Jail down town. and 92% of those inmates being held for trial are black, a few hispanics and fewer whites. 201 Poplar it is referred to.

Not to be confused with the Memphis Penal Farm which is a 11 month 29 day prison. 85% recidivism rate. 30 day serve time. Petty felonies, they ‘winter over’ or if they need health care free. These are the ones that commit 30-60 felonies in a life time. Plus the chronic DUI, which serve time on the weekends.

The only places I don’t carry are those that are illegal to do so (but I am tempted) and at work. But I do keep it in the car while inside.

Restricting carrying makes no sense to me. If the gov’t can restrict one right, who’s to say they can’t restrict them all? What is it about “inalienable” that they don’t understand?

in·al·ien·a·ble

adjective

unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor.

Want more evidence of a double standard? Read “White Girl Bleed A Lot” by Colin Flaherty. He presents a well documented discourse of the double standard that will make your blood boil. Yet the standard continues, endorsed by politicians and liberal media, for fear that someone might be labeled a “ racist”.

The double standard will continue as long as the public allows it to continue.

It needs to be exposed with a strong bright spotlight of truth.

How would the parents of these animals feel if that were their child laying there being stomped?

This is someone's child.

It's always ok when it's not your child.
Until it is.

My younger brother was stationed in the Memphis area during the ‘90’s and wads attacked by a bunch of other than Cauacasions. He was in the Beal Street area and was beat pretty badly. The next night, a few of his Devil Dog friends went a took care of business.

That is one of the few areas of the country where I felt the racial tension as soon as I would step off the plane. I hated travelling there.

This can not be a hate crime. If it is and the white folks do not riot and rampage and destroy the neighborhood, then the question eventually has to be addressed is why do the blacks do so after a “hate crime”.
