Teen Set on Fire in Racial Attack; Media Silent

“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.

When will the double standards end?

A good start is 10,000 liberals at the bottom of the sea.

Only white people can commit hate crimes, didn’t you hear?

[Mr. Wright]

I am sure that Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Hussein Obama will all NOT comment on this horendous act.
Also silent will be NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, et al.
No beer summit - no soda summit, and of course the police are
“looking into” whether it is a hate crime - which it will not be!!

OMG - maybe it was his name?

Seriously, though, that is awful.

We don’t need no stinkin’ “hate(sic) laws”, though. Just being serious about punishing with the laws that naturally already exist.

If that were my child, I would go "Falling Down" on the feral animals and put them down.

Everyone has their “enough” point.

When the non-minorities get over their “guilt”, that enough point will get REAL ugly.

There is no such thing as black violence, only white aggression. Any violence engaged in by blacks is merely a conditioned response which they are not responsible for.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

When will the double standards end?

When there are no colors and the human race homogenizes...in about 200,000 years.

Or when one group or the other is dead. In about 10 years at this pace.
