Filling in for Martin Bashir Wednesday, MSNBCs Joy Reid attempted to figure out why of the 11,000 shooting deaths that occur in this country, do only a handful of them capture the mediasand thus the publicsattention. After Newtown, Aurora and Trayvon Martin, Reid sees the media paying extra attention to the apparently random shooting of Australian Chris Lane by three bored Oklahoma teenagers and the narrowly avoided catastrophe at a Georgia elementary school.
Reid argued that its not race, poverty, gangs, or even video games and movies that tie these shooting together. Its access to guns. These are obviously two very different stories on many levels, she said. The location is different, the race of the suspects is different, the types of guns used. But can we get away from the fact that the common denominator are young people with access to guns? [...]
Seeing the right directly trying to bait the president on race, a situation with the baseball player thats already so tragic, Reid asked, Why do they seem so determined to also make it racial?

“THIS JUST IN!: MSNBC Linguistics Expert Rachel Jantel says that woods, short for Peckerwoods, is not a racial slur.”
..she was also heard to exclaim: “That would be retarted sir!”
Actually the two events are rather alike! Martin-Zimmerman and 3 thugs and Chris Lake. In both instances the black teenagers were troubled teens and getting in trouble; had Facebook images which indicated gang influences and dislike for whites/crackers, etc.
The difference is not the white on black thing vs black on white, but that in the first instance, the so-called “white-Hispanic prevailed and did not allow the black kid to bang his brains out.
As far as I am concerned Trayvon Martin himself was the problem in the confrontation, not Zimmerman.
When two black teenage thugs beat up and murder a WWII veteran, is that also about guns, and not about race?
Useful idiot alert.
I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I conclude that liberals are fools.
Probably. It is certainly not about “race.” Not to her, anyway.

Because it was racial, you ignorant piece of used Charmin.
No one wanrs to make it racial it simply was because the shooters are racists.
Then think about the countless attacks where the blacks STOMPED the person in the head and face...
Violence among blacks doesn’t require a gun...generally they will gather like a herd of animals or like tribe...they prefer to HOOT each other on like a wild pack of baboons...
In fact the website “WorldStarHipHop” advertises the primate like behavior or their vicious attacks...
WITHOUT GUNS
