Two British tourists holidaying in Florida begged for their lives with their trousers pulled down before they were mercilessly shot dead, a court has heard. Shawn Tyson, who turned 17 on Monday, is said to have murdered James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, after they drunkenly stumbled into the rundown Newtown neighbourhood of Sarasota. He allegedly forced the terrified pair to pull down their trousers before firing a volley of shots. Accused: Shawn Tyson is on trial for the murders of British tourists James Cooper and James Kouzaris Tyson is accused of going to rob the best friends in April 2011, and then killing them when they said they did not have any money.

Tyson faces a life sentence if convicted, but will not face the death penalty because of his age. The court in Sarasota heard how the two British holidaymakers were dining and drinking in the city's downtown with Cooper's parents on the night of April 15.

So, will Barrack Hussein Obama make a public announcement regarding this “race motivated hate crime”? Hell no. The race wars of the 60’s are on. And you Progressive Liberals have yourselves to blame. You too one day may be a victim.

I just finished reading a post where it said because of the improving economy that gold prices were down.

It's true that a good deal of gold is being sold off, lowering the price, of course.

But not because of the *improving economy.* Folks are moving out of gold, and into steel and lead.

No concealed carry for British tourists in Florida. Too bad for them.

No I don’t but there’s a very good reason for that. They don’t get the publicity that a Sharpton does.

It is not what you do but who you do it to—that is why it is called a hate crime.
