HuffPost Live host Marc Lamont Hill has poured gasoline on the racial controversy over Michael Brown, the unnarmed, 18-year-old black Missouri man who was shot dead by a police officer.
“A Black man in America is killed every 28 hours by police or vigilantes,” Hill tweeted on Monday. “THAT, not rioting, is domestic terrorism…”
Hill was referring to unrest that broke out in Ferguson, Mo., following the shooting that resulted Monday in law enforcement using teargas on protesters.
Hill followed up on that tweet with more racial commentary. “Michael Brown should be starting college in a few hours. Instead, he’s yet another teenager executed for being young, black, and outside,” he wrote in one tweet. “I don’t endorse the riots in Ferguson,” he wrote in another. “Again, I think they instigate State violence. But I won’t spend a minute criticizing people’s anger.”
Hill’s tweets were greeted with some backlash, mostly from conservative followers.
At the National Review, conservative writer Charles Cook accused Hill of feigning outrage. “In some quarters of the media,” Cook wrote, “pundits have begun to pretend that America’s cops are routinely gunning down unarmed young black men for their own pleasure.”
The name of the officer who killed Brown is not being released by authorities, who say they have received death threats related to the shooting.

Ferguson Missouri police shoot Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager, with his hands in the air. Black life has so little value in this world.

Is that like teenagers? Young people?
Police should pull out of that quagmire.
If the overpaid overrated Marc Lamont Hill has a nice car and nice cell phone some night on a dark street he may find some domestic terrorism of his own
Sometimes she tried to show me. She asked and the men grabbed her hair and pulled her down. Love is hard and fast and Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, she said.
One time it burned ... then the Black community was fooled but Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
Police shooting a black man is terrorism, but a black muslim shooting an Army recruiter in Arkansas is a non event.
Vigilantes = people fortunate enough not to end up as victims.
Watch your back Mark......Lamont is the poster boy for the Negro whiners biting the hand that allows them the freedom to make such outlandish remarks.....one sorry American and one spoiled Negro!
from what I’ve been seeing, it’s the other way around.
It’s nice to see Marc Lamont Hill is still a vile, useless, race-baiting a$$hole. Since I stopped watching Bill O’Reilly four or five years ago I hadn’t seen or heard anything od him.
...of him.

Complete BS. More black men are killed by other black men than anything else short of disease. I don’t know of ANY vigilante killings of black men, and I guess cops never kill anyone who isn’t black.
Moron Marc,
Who do you think enforces the laws that you big government types want? Folks like you that push for big government tyranny should celebrate when a few subjects get killed. After all, one must break a few eggs to make an omelette.
The “vigilantes” are the folks who, when their home is being invaded by the “homies”, haul out the shotgun and damage several of them pretty badly.
On any given night, there is more violence going on in Chicago from young black men beating on other young black men, than has ever gone on with police “hassling” young black men.
“Go ahead, boy, RUN! You just gonna die tired!”
(Cue up the theme music to “Bad Boys”.)
Then there are a LOT of black terrorists in Chicago.
Trust me if the Kersey Brigade actually existed there would be a lot less of these animals on the street, and would have nothing to do with color.
Well, if he wants to apply that sort of logic to statistics, then it's fair to ask him how many crimes are committed by black men in the same 28 hours, and what conclusion should we draw from that?
So less than one a day. How man whites do blacks kill every day?
