Somehow I prefer the "Jockey" but to each their own I suppose.

You go to the head of the class at the Neal Boortz Institute for Insensitivity Training. In fact, I think you just vaulted to instructor. ;-)

Sorry, I forgot to close the /sarcasm tags.

If I was him I would put them back up and pack a 12 gage with 00 shot. after all as the deputy police chief said:

"One key factor, Lee said, was that the Wichita display was on the man's property. Although the display offended some people, the man has some right to express himself, Lee said. "

Surprise, it is a free country after all.

Wish I had an excuse to offend some people, I would. Why do some people get offended at every chance they get? I think it used to be a matter of pride to walk away from someone who called you names. Have we become a nation of wusses where everything that might offend is now a hate crime?

But they reviewed the situation and determined that no crime had been committed under the city ordinance against bias crimes.

Was the mass murder afforded the same review?

Read the true facts of another "Wichita Massacre"-like reverse hate crime in 1998 - Tiffany Long's murder.

[G.Mason]

This is a HATE crime!

Wish I had an excuse to offend some people,...

Why wait for an excuse? Every day, I see some clods right here on FR crack that dark-painted and newspaper covered window into their minds to reveal some of the nastiest and down-right ignorant biases known to civilized man.

As for the guy in Wichita, broadcasting his desire for revenge and his view of what the penalty for the Carr brothers should be could have been better stated with a placard rather than the symbolism of the effigies. It would have shown more guts, rationale and gotten the message across with a lot less background noise, IMO.

In a word, yes.

The demonstrators said they were not defending Reginald and Jonathan Carr, two black men recently convicted of five murders.

Uhhh, yeah, they were.

Hmmm. A rational, gutsy placard, you think?

[RWG]

reiterated Friday that he did not intend to offend anyone...not even the monsters who killed the innocent?

NO......Suspect of what?

[rdb3]

Suspect of what?

Jared Taylor founded the site that you linked. He's a white racialist. Now, if I linked NoI and YBY stuff here, you'd look at me like I was crazy.

Do you subscribe to Taylor's beliefs?

No mercy.

Yeah. Why not. Something along the line of:

SHOOT, HANG AND BURN THE MURDERING B*ST*RDS!

[FITZ]

A sign beneath the dummies said "Carr Bros."

I don't see the problem if they made it clear it was those guys they want to see hanged.
