Outside at a raucous news conference, Jeffrey Davis, the councilman's brother, said repeatedly, "The system killed my brother. The same way it killed Martin Luther King and Malcolm X."

He did not elaborate or answer questions about his brother's personal life, but added: "Who did it? You all did it. Every white racist person did it. Every black racist person did it."

I'm guessing democrat.

not good that he was murdered, by the week end he will be a national hero....unless, of course, he might have been a little bit conserative

Democrat primaries and politics in Brooklyn get pretty nasty.

This was no exception.

Waiting for Al to demand Bush sends "military peacekeepers" into Crown Heights wearing UN blue helmets.

Al mentioned renaming Brooklyn "Sharpovia".

>>Was he a dem or rep??<<

If it's something bad and the so-called "journalist" doesn't mention party affiliation in the headline, it's a rat.

I read on one of this afternoon's links that Davis had run on the "Liberal" ticket back in the '90's. (Remember, NY has all sorts of registered party affiliations.)

Couldn't help but notice that the article portrays the victim as a vocal critic of urban violence. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is this to differentiate him from all the politicians that are clamoring for blood in our streets?

Very funny. BTW, what's the origin of your name? I ran a google on Othniel Askew and the name Othniel seemed to have a following. This is a serious question. ;)

This may mean nothing but I can't imagine a conservative being so cowardly. Askew had to be an alienated ultra-liberal. Just a feeling.

Every white racist person did it.

Did I miss something? No white person was involved...



Notice how the gun grabbers of city hall get to avoid the lines at metal detectors, yet both were armed. This guy was against urban violence, so he likely wants to take away our guns... yet walked past metal detectors with a gun in his sock.

Typical liberal. Gun laws are for you and me, not the new liberal royalty.

I didn't understand that remark either.

Where have you been?

Don't'cha know...every black person killed/murdered is the honky's fault. Get with the leftist, socialist, democRAT, NAACP, hate America-first program.

No, Jeffrey, you idiot, the only person who did it was Othniel Askew--a black man, by the way. And you are the one talking like a black racist person.
