BRISTOL, Tenn. — Friends and family of a black Army veteran accused of shooting at passing cars and police on a Tennessee highway are struggling to accept that he became violent in response to police killings of African-Americans.

One woman died and three others were wounded, including an officer, as police traded gunfire early Thursday with the suspect, identified as Lakeem Keon Scott, 37.

As a contractor overseas’ we would say good morning to the soldiers. They would always respond respectfully like “ good morning sir”... except for the blacks, they would walk by you like you were not there. We made a game out of it. Always the same response from the blacks.

Seems only U.S. Army veterans. The Marines don’t turn out these kinds of fruit loops.

Excellent point. The mistreatment of the Jews has and continues to be the worst. Slavery, which was bad, happened a 150 years plus ago. However, there are still Jews alive who survived the concentration camps.

And good point about the fragmentation of the family. Because, without a stable family life, life is difficult if not impossible. Faith is important, too.

There is even an attitude within the black community that being successful in business is bad. You might have heard of the expression — “oreo cookie” black on the outside, white on the inside. So if a black person becomes educated and successful in life, that that black person has lost their connection to their roots. The flip side of it is that a black person must be a failure in order to maintain their connection to their culture and roots.

A side point: blacks have been promised time and again by the Democrats that if they vote for them, then all will be good and yet blacks are no better off than they were decades ago. Actually, blacks are worse off in some respects. And worst of all, the Democrat party's mantra is no longer, “we will help you if you vote for us,” and it has devolved into “whitey is responsible for your terrible lot in life and the cards are stacked against you by the system.”

Too bad that blacks don't realize that they are being misled by the Democrat party.

Marines are special

Perhaps the lower standards of the army are the problem

Nasal Hussein was army and he was in during the bush years when he became radicalized

The question is who keeps driving this indoctrination, this looped message that whitey always has and always keep you down?

Those are the true evil propagandists who have been fomenting this civil war and are close to seeing it come to fruition than ever before...

This is the first black attack on white cops and civilians sparked by Obama on Thursday.

It is being completely buried by US media.

Here is what Obama started in Kenya in 2006, and what the USA will devolve into by the time he leaves.

Supporters of Raila Odinga(BARAK OBAMAS FIRST COUSIN), the leading presidential challenger, rallied in Kibera, a slum near Nairobi.(According to the NY Times, this is a "rally")

Mr. Odinga’s (BARAK OBAMAS FIRST COUSIN, WHO HE CAMPAIGNED IN KENYA FOR)followers tried to march from Kibera to Nairobi.

Shocking. Came out of nowhere.

==

Notice how many of the recent multi-shooting attacks have been by black men.

Then, their family, friends and defenders are all over the news saying how shocked they are.

The media is all in a dither because, according to their statistics, blacks don’t engage in multi-shooting actions (excluding the southside of Chicago, and gangs in large cities, etc.). [Except that stat sort of went out the window with the DC sniper and his cohort and Chief Moose.]

The recent shooting by blacks have certainly messed up the media and Leftist narrative.

But the same media and Leftist politicians never seem to be able to find ‘a motive’. [Of course, they never will as long as they insist, intentionally, on not connecting the dots.]
