Teen Set on Fire in Racial Attack; Media Silent
the new american.com ^ | Thursday, 01 March 2012

“This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.” So spewed the attackers of Melissa Coon’s 13-year-old son, as they doused him with gasoline and set him alight.

Police, they say, are “investigating” whether this is a hate crime.

Yes, and I’m investigating whether the media is biased and if hate-crime law is applied equally. I’ll get back to you on that — in about two paragraphs.

The attack on the boy took place on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri. Fox 4 Kansas City provides some (sanitized) details, writing, “The victim is a student at East High School and regularly walks home after class. When he reached his porch, two older teens grabbed him, pinned his arms behind his back and then poured gas from a gas can on the boy. They then set the boy on fire.”

Thankfully, the teen victim had the presence of mind to pull his shirt up over his head and snuff out the flames. He was treated at Children’s Mercy hospital, having suffered first-degree burns to his face and head. And police said they were concerned about possible damage to his eyes and lungs.

The concern, however, isn’t translating into national media coverage — or honest coverage anywhere.

Megyn Kelly LOL, what an elitist left wing kook she turned out to be since she came back after having her baby and having her show.

Is that airhead still pushing her cross dressing pro homosexual crap,still bringing on her pal Sally Kohn and the other left wing idiots and is she also still talking about her nana, her personal life like her house in VA is under water bal bla bla yada yada ?

I gave up on her last year after she got the Soros media matters homosexual activist stooge Sally khon the job at FOX and I’ve talked to quite a few off here who have given up watching her too.

Fox has turned left but WOW has she turned out to be another left wing ,elitist,snotty nosed, airhead

half the white population including conservatives just shut up and don’t see what the problem is along with white guilt put into them by their teachers at school or when they were at school .
A quarter sit on their butts and love what they see and thinks whites deserve it.
The other quarter speak out, mention this to family , friends, neighbors but are dismissed because of the other 3 quarters.

If anything is to change in this country then the MSM has to be changed first, they truly are the real enemy of the country because they control the message to the idiots who come home, put the TV on for the local news and think they are being told the truth.

Thanks for your response: At one time our society would have known how to handle “Tyrone” and his ilk.

In Obamaland, this is what's happening. As Rush stated this morning, the so called "silent majority" is just waiting for the spark that will ignite an all out political upheaval against the most vicious, evil, anti-Constitution, and most divisive President in the history of this Republic! When government continues to remove peoples' rights and they find themselves backed up against the wall, they have little to lose and will strike back with a vengeance!

I have always said that when a low-life uses a gun to shoot and either mame or kill someone, the media should be forced to report, in the article, as to whether or not the perpetrator was a member of the NRA. Can you imagine the media having to report that these murders are being committed by other than NRA members. That would get their collective panties in a bunch, would it not?

The doctrines of Critical Race Theory like the doctrines of the Democrats’ KKK is not without consequence. Whites should not sit for it. It’s deathly serious.

I seem to recall reading something about an incident with this child an a teacher in school over answering a question during a black history month lesson.

I’d appreciate anyone’s help in finding that.

TIA
