I’m in the burbs - and clear free of Seattle most of the time. Mainly the traffic. And Pioneer Square sure ain’t what it used to be.
“...what are the chances he burned his own neck with cigarettes and whipped his own back with a belt?”
I did not say that, in fact I specifically said not that, I said his injuries are real.
However, his story is a little dramatic.
Now it may well be that the fellow is telling the 100% truth.
It may also be that he was into some serious stuff he does not want the parents to know about so he made up this story...about black guys beating him up....because of slavery.
I also said that if the shoe was on the other foot the MSM would never doubt him, although those here would likely have a jaundiced eye.
As it seem some of us may (I didn’t check the thread again, I am just responding to your post directly) in this case.
Your questions are good ones, but if it were a black 16 year old walking home at 2am and got beat up, all hell would be breaking loose. Nobody would question just what the teen was doing out that late.
Uh, seriously? I’d say pretty close to zero.
I didn't see anything in the story to cast suspicion on the victim. The victim didn't randomly walk up to two black dudes at 2:00am. The story says they called out to the victim and asked for a light. Now I don't know anything about this kid's politics, but if he's anything like my white Seattle friends he probably heard a little voice in his head that said "stay away from these guys", which was then shouted down by the much louder voice in his head that said "if you don't give them a light you're a raaaacist".
You shouldn't dismiss it out of hand...black hatred of whites is a distinguishing cultural characteristic of the Seattle area. The places where white people are the most apologetic and guilt-ridden over their race seem to be the same places where they get their heads stomped the most. We got national press for the full-on race riot during mardi gras a few years ago. More recently we had the horrifying murder of James Paroline, not to mention a slew of cop-killings.
Seattle is not a safe place to be. There is lots of crime around the University district and Belltown. Visitors better know they can't count on police to help them out.
If you do protect yourself you can bet the officials in charge will focus their attention on you rather than your attackers. That is the way it is and that is why I avoid Seattle.
Is it White Center? I thought it was too far from the heart to make it for White Center.
And if this is even close to White Center, there is a distinct lack of concern about police.
This is 100% 0bama’s fault.
He has set the tone for this atmosphere in America.
Maybe he can invite the teen over for another “beer summit.”
I don’t know. The racial banter has been heard here before. A few years back during some large celebration in downtown Seattle, don’t recall the holiday, a large group of black guys singled out some white men and at least one woman, and pummeled them while shouting racial commentary. Previous to that there was an incident at some party where a group of high schoolers had congregated, some unfamiliar Hispanic thugs, crashed the party and announced they were there to “kick white guys asses”.
Of course the local authorities denied race had anything to do it.
This crap has been happening all over the country for years now. They’re animals. They aren’t really human. They’re feral, urban hyenas that run in packs assaulting, killing, raping and maiming. Every last one of them needs a bullet in the forehead.
They’re taught to hate whitey from the cradle. It’s gotten worse since zero was elected. The black thuggery component, which makes up a large part of black society in this country, view the election of zero as carte blanche/open season on whitey.
80% chance he was trying to buy drugs and was robbed and beaten.
But a person never knows.
This was NOT a hate crime, though. Right? If blacks hurt whites, it’s not racism. Right?
I can see the kid being out at 2am, going home from a party. He should NOT have been walking alone.
Could it be that he was just 16? Maybe he had some alcohol at that party?
That combination right there easily reduces smart to dumb.
If you read the article, you would know.
