Looks like at least one of the "boys" has a sociopathic issue
It was a bar fight; after the fact, the loser called hate crime. The boy was not convicted of that.
"Do you think Southerners appreciate the scope of racial tension in the North?"
I couldn't speak for southerners.
That's ridiculous. Most people are so furious about this case because if you've followed it closely at all one quickly realizes that these are trumped up charges by an overzealous DA. To suggest that this reaction is because of the race of the accuser is patently unfair and wrong.
We can only hope!
This is an interesting comment. I had the idea that most of the 'perps' were of Yankee origin.
And I think this has more to do with haves/have-nots and male/female control issues than the race thing. The race thing is - I believe - just the vehicle for the other issues.
I'm back.
Hey - thanks for that excellent post. I'd sort of remembered that but couldn't have articulated it as well as you did.
And then of course, the nanny police will just say we're speculating. LOL
"Why do you refer to yourself as a Yankee....I have never even considered that as a reference to myself..."
Why do you care how I refer to myself?
Oh really? How many of the judges do YOU represent "Sinkspur"???
LaCross IS a sport more common among prep school males in schools attended by the upper classes than High Schools for normal folks.
Have a nice day.
Exactly.
Well, the fireman's sons are the ones who have been accused. As for the two suspects, Reade and Collin, while Reade went to Delbarton, a private school with a tuition of $22,000 per year, Collin went to Chaminade, a Catholic school with only a $6600 tuition. Collin is from Garden City, average household income $104,176 (but keep in mind in NY that is a middle class income). Reade is from Essex Fells, NJ, average household income- $148,173.
Why do you care how I refer to myself?
I don't.....I've never heard people refer to themselves as Yankees or Southeners....that's all
"So now you have resorted to calling southerner's racists?
You are a disgrace to FR"
First of all...you never showed the illogical scenarios I placed.
Now this...where did I say southerners are racists?
I said there is racial tension which DOES NOT constitute the same thing as calling someone racist.
It is disgraceful to twist someone's word into saying something they haven't said.
Worked like a champ. Not one new thread started at FR concerning Cynthia McKinney since the 14th, and that one was just asking why there was nothing from the GJ.
That really irks me. She is skating out of this. The large papers and MSM did their one story or two, and they are letting it go. No pressure on the prosecutor, so I guess he too is letting it go. Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Your ignorance is showing.
Most scholarships are need based.
I back you up. A really silly poster.
Has there been a press conference yet?
Oh yes, a college guy is in a fight outside a bar, clearly this is a sociopath we are dealing with here... very insightful.
NOT!
"Class warfare is a typical lib claim. Ugh."
How about "Limousine Liberal"???
I think Barry Goldwater coined that term.
And in some places people like the Whitmans, Keans, Kennedys, Gores, Corzines, Kerrys. etc. PERFECTLY fit that image.
So that makes me a "liberal"??
What's wrong with private schools? I sent mine to private schools.
