Bloody rampage sparked by disrespect at Miami-Dade wake
Miami Herald ^ | March 31, 2012 | Monique O. Madan, David Ovalle and Patricia Mazzei

The mass shooting that killed two people and wounded 12 others near North Miami began with a perceived sign of disrespect at the wake of a man who had jumped to his death from a shopping mall parking garage.

The act of reaching into the casket to touch the body of 21-year-old Morvin Andre escalated into a deadly conflict among gang members who opened fire into a gathering of mourners.

They had gone to the Funeraria Latina funeral home Friday night to grieve for Andre, who had died March 16 after jumping from a parking garage at Aventura Mall. The remembrance of his death turned into one of the bloodiest public shootings in recent South Florida history.

The end of Andre’s life was traumatic, but in a different way.

He had tried to use a stolen platinum American Express card to buy something — possibly a belt — at Bloomingdale’s, according to Aventura police. Store employees suspected credit-card fraud.

Andre took off, running into the mall’s parking garage and then up a stairwell to the fourth floor. From the floor below, employees called out that they just wanted to ask him some questions.

Instead, Andre jumped. It was a 22-and-a-half-foot drop.

IF we were liberal elites, we would believe this kind of behavior was common at white funerals too.

If we were liberal elites we would call conservatives who doubted that these types of killings are common at white funerals, racists.

If we were liberals, the MSM would back us.

They make it sound like it was suicide. More likely he died while trying to escape by jumping from the building.

It truly seems appropriate that such people be called the “Sons of Obama”.

This changes their appellation from 160 years ago, when they were still known as the “Sons of Ham”.

The Babylonian Talmud states that blacks are the descendants of Ham, the black son of Noah, whose son Canaan was cursed with servitude for Ham’s “looking at the nakedness of his father, Noah.”

Peoples Temple originally began as a Disciples of Christ church, and was still affiliated with them when they went to Guyana. Of course, it was in name only, as Peoples Temple was in reality an early Liberation Theology/Socialist Theology “church”

Absolutely correct. Jones’ old church building in Indianapolis was still standing and visible from I70 a number of years ago. Had the People’s Temple name too. As of 2011 it was still there looking like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peoplestemple/6937304639/

So insensitive!

You try firing your Glock while holding it sideways, chugging a malt liquor from the bottle, and driving an Escalade by at a high rate of speed, after smoking crack, snorting heroin, smoking a joint while your pants are falling off. This gangsta stuff ain't as easy as it looks to white boys.
