As Srinivas Kuchibhotla's family tries to deal with the young aviation engineer's cold-blooded murder by a hate-driven shooter, questions are being raised about the lack of attention it has received from the White House, especially in comparison to similar circumstances in the past.

“In the US a White person is murdered every 18 by a black.”

18 hours?

I agree with your take on it.

BTW: I know you meant...

I don't recall ever hearing about the "Knockout Game" that became nearly a daily occurrence until after Obama became president.

[Happens to the best of us.]

They expect President Trump to comment on every murder and atrocity that happens in the country?

The only time Obama made a comment was when he could leverage an incident into an attack on white people.

There are about 43 murders a day in the USA.

If President Trump commented on every one that wouldn't leave him or his staff much time for anything else.

From: The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program:

In 2015, the estimated number of murders in the nation was 15,696.

Øbongo liked to insinuate himself into the middle of stuff like this - especially when he didn’t know sht about what he was spouting. Trump knows better.

‘nuf said.

No. The main stream media will not get used to the fact that we have a President now. Each day the media will double their efforts to delegitimatize and depose President Trump. They must be confronted with every lie they tell.They must be fought and defeated. They will never come around to our way of thinking. To suggest they will is just wishful thinking.

At this point in time there are two medias. There are the alphabet media,[ABC,CBS, NBC, CNN, etal] and there is what now is called the Alternative Media, Drudge, etal. It is the what is referred to as the main stream media that is the enemy of and main threat to the our Pepublic.

What’s worse is I couldn’t give a damn :)

It’s sad when someone gets killed. Many do every day.

Why is this major news that a president should comment on?

We HATED when obama did that.

Hope you’re well :)

Its sole purpose was to create trouble, strife, malice, mischief, and ill feelings for President Trump. As you can see, since they think that they got Flynn's head, their attacks have increased in both frequency and viciousness. Look for said attacks to increase instead of decreasing.

but you know what, they will be less and less effective. It’s like that girl who fell out of love with you and you do more extreme things to get her attention. She just gets more turned off and you finally give up. er, not that that ever happened to me LOL

It’s a crime, prosecute it. Why should the WH have any special commentary? That’s playing into the medias hands.

I know that for every black man shot and killed by a policeman, there are 18 policemen shot and killed by a black man.

Meh. I wonder if he has any comment regarding Seth Conrad.

A lot of people have died in odd circumstances recently. I don’t pin them on Trump. Quite the opposite, actually.

>“The President could say ‘Don’t shoot innocent brown people. It’s wrong..and he would save lives”

And Zero could have told his islam pals to not shoot up Christmas parties and not to kill dozens at a gay bar.

Leftist and islam loving scum can go pound sand in islamville.

After stating that his executive immigration order will establish a new office in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support victims of crime committed by illegal aliens, President Donald Trump named six Americans who had been killed by illegals and asked their family members to stand and be recognized during his speech Wednesday at DHS headquarters.

Funding that had previously been used to give legal assistance to illegal aliens will now be sent to the above office to support the victims.

Trump gets backlash from a Tweet. Trump gets backlash from a comment. Trump gets backlash saying nothing.

Exactly. “Hate Crimes” legislation is stupid, wasteful, useless, and prone to misuse. If there is a law on the books to penalize the murder of another human being, then it should be applied without regard to the color of either the perpetrator or the victim.

Even if the person shouts out “Kill all the (black, white, indian, asian, etc) people!” as the trigger is pulled, I see no need for a stupid hate crime penalty.

It is asinine.

So the president has to weigh in on every murder now?

Following this “logic,” then Obama was responsible for every white person killed by a black during his eight years in office, responsible for every white man or woman injured by blacks during the so-called “knock-out game,” and responsible for every police officer murdered during his eight years by “Black Lives Matter.”

If non-President Trump speaks out about Bowe Bergdahl, he’s abusing the power of his office and should be impeached but if he has no comment on a cantina shooting, he’s worthy of netrage.

Whatever.

President Obama embraced the BLM movement and when one of theirs shot and killed police officers in a planned terrorist action, he didn’t denounced the culture of hate he had embraced.

Link is unreadable, as it keeps opening an advertisement rather than permitting me to scroll to read the content beyond the first page.
