Teen Set on Fire in Racial Attack; Media Silent
The New American ^ | 01 March 2012 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 03/01/2012 10:55:20 AM PST by Paladins Prayer

“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.

Generally concur with your remarks. It's become a rotten street scam on a nationwide scale.

Do be careful with the quotes, tho' ..... my italicized quote was a quote of the other FReeper, RC one. Those were his words.

Normally, when I quote the other party, I put their initials in brackets or something, then use the <tt> font, or set some other font, to differentiate the third-party from the second-party quotes, or even block the quote.

The reporting by KMBC, the ABC affiliate in Kansas City, is racially neutral.

Going by the description, it's gotta be those damned Amish again.

“my italicized quote was a quote of the other FReeper,”


lentulusgracchus...... Sorry my mistake. You are 100% correct and the quote was not yours. Thanks for the heads up and reply.
