Outgoing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has ordered federal prosecutors not to seek the death penalty against three members of a Brooklyn drug crew charged with a killing in which the victim was tortured, the Daily News has learned. . . .

John, 31, is accused of killing six people, and Johnson, 30, with four. Both also are members of the Bloods gang, court papers say. Jones, 31, is accused of one killing. Their trial is to start Oct. 22.

So, is Eric the Red a Blood, or would he extend the courtesy to any member of a black gang?

Not really - this is a meeting place, like sitting around a conversation nook. It’s not a classroom where we’re taking an English exam. If it were, I’d be using Shakespearean English .... but yeah, from time to time we have to do a come back since perhaps “there world is to small”.

The person they tortured to death was somebody named Earle Obermeyer - they wrapped him in plastic and suffocated him, but after roasting him over a bed of charcoal first. I couldn’t find out anything about Obermeyer, whether he was a dealer, a customer, or whatever.

That said, there’s no reason these people shouldn’t be looking at the death penalty.

“Bloody” in this case not being a mere explicative intensifier but an adjective.

“His people” are also suffering more than white people are from the consequences. Most crime by black people has black victims.

Google turns up a few Earle Obermeyers so it might not be possible to positively identify which one. I’d too want to know why was he chosen for the torture and murder. Some vendetta, or he just happened to be there when they were in the mood for random violence? Maybe Holder thinks this is just gangsters punishing other gangsters so no big deal?

Sounded like the Federal jurisdiction was via RICO law. However, this does not preclude State murder charges by New York. This right? I didn’t see any mention of this.

Holder is a master at NOT enforcing laws.

Eric Holder is a traitor to the United States of America.

As long as “his people” have “no snitching” in place, and riot and loot every time one of their thug criminals is killed in the commencement of a crime, such as beating a man’s head into the concrete, no sympathy from me.

And they’re doing plenty of damage to whites through the knockout game and such, as often as not with no real consequence, or they wouldn’t keep doing it. We’re (at least the sane majority) not the ones who expect leniency, if not a brass band, for the criminals. We don’t expect that for white criminals, there haven’t been any white riots in support of a white criminal of which I’ve heard.

Poor grammar reflects poorly on the website. We owe it to Mr. Robinson to look our best - or at least try to.

Not to mention that statistically, in proportion to their percentage of population, there is more black-on-white crime, especially violent crime and rape, than the reverse. The rape statistics are especially egregious. There are so few white-on-black rapes as to be statistically nonexistent, while the black-on-white rape rate is app 10 times higher.

Brooklyn: Man Killed in Fire Is Identified

By EMILY VASQUEZ (NYT)

Published: November 30, 2006

A man who was set on fire in an abandoned apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant was identified yesterday as Earle Obermuller, 21, the police said. Mr. Obermuller’s hands had been bound with duct tape, the police said. Mr. Obermuller, a construction worker, immigrated about three years ago from Guyana and lived with his parents on East 96th Street near Linden Boulevard, said his mother, Shelly Walters. The medical examiner has concluded that Mr. Obermuller’s death was a homicide, and a spokeswoman said he died of asphyxiation before he was set on fire.
