Let's see when I saw this story, I thought oh how tragic, not again. poor kids. What does dead bring up? Oh it must be black kids...Whatever. If Jesse Jackson racebaits all the time and when he does it, that alone could generate a 200 post thread on FR.

If this was a shooting in an American HS black or white or muslim with dead kids all over this would be national news. It's not. Have not even heard it near my parts for more then a second..so...


However I am sure Jesse has his cell phone ringing right now : )

Jeepers!

Dead (may he rest in peace) shoots off with a double-edged barb and you two seem to go on forever trying to have the last word. Perhaps it was unwise to fling the dual slurs, but it's a valid sarcastic commentary on the police's tendency to label alleged perps under those two headings. I took his comment to be a jab at LEOs (remember Chief Moose?).

Cyborg, you're right, too. The commentary could well ahve waited until more info came in, but that's not the nature of the internet (and especially Free Republic). Go with the flow - let the muggle side have a chance, too.

Now, shake hands or ignore each other, but let's get on with praying for the victims of this attack.
