There'll be no end to the spin on this one.
It is always a good time to BLOAT is my motto.
Very good analysis.
Watts would seem to to the leader.
I would be willing to bet Jesse and Al have already booked their flights to Tulsa. Especially since the Trayvon Jihad seems to hae hit a wall of inconvenient facts.
I’m thinking maybe so. IMO, the reason the media jumped all over the younger guy and started profiling him was because of his use of the “N” word in that one post about the guy that killed his father (except that he doesn’t actually use the “N” word, he writes it as “n___r.” Since that “proves” that he’s a racist, and that “proves” the killings are racially motivated, the MSM gets to call in the “Revs”, Jackson and Sharpton, again. Just in the nick of time for their redemption, as their narrative about Zimmerman/Martin was making THEM all look so stupid and arrogantly racist.
A lot of people on this website, and around the country, are sick to death of the race card and deliberate efforts to incite racial divisions and violence. It’s easier for them, too, to jump all over the Jake England story, because “ZOMG! He’s half Native American AND his father was murdered by a black guy!” That sounds like a potentially successful anti-race card. So there you go.
As long as the media spins into overtime about Jake England and the possiblility of racially-motivated hate killings, the anti-race card may cause it to blow up in their faces...again. Especially if, as I’m thinking, Alvin Watts is the actual shooter...Alvin Watts who may be the MSM’s perfect example of a white redneck “cracker” who actually had an anti-Obama post on his facebook page. I wonder if any MSM “reporters” even managed to copy that particular post before Watts’ facebook page, along with England’s, was taken off-line.
Why don't you finish that thought and tell me exactly what I got wrong?
"Revenge would be gunning down the perp and his accomplices if there were any. Driving around randomly shooting Black people just because they are Black is not revenge; its called serial or spree killing. And its wrong no matter who the shooter or the victims and the colors of their skins." "
I agree with you wholeheartedly."
I guess you just misread it ;)
FR is not a racist site. Doesn't doesn't that go without saying here?
Some folks have a tendency to get on their high-horses and do a highly public breast-beating routine, while lecturing the rest of us. At least one of the posters to whom I was replying has done the same routine on another thread. Kinda rubs me the wrong way.
That Facebook source is all over the media now, in lots of articles. But you were ahead of them - thanks for your insights and postings.
England is native, perhaps a mix. So was his GF. There are photos on another thred.
Sorry I can't post the altered mugshot yet, but the video can be viewed here (you have to sit through an ad first):
AP video
Say it, don't say it...seems like an untenable situation.....
No wonder we can't win, why are you playing their game?
I read all their facebook posts, going back 6 months, and I am really surprised either of them would do such a thing as murder. So very sad.
But on England's Facebook page, a friend warned him not to "do anything stupid" after a Friday night message that read "It just mite be the time to call it quits."
"I hate to say it like that but I'm done if something does happen tonite be ready for another funeral later," England wrote.
And on Thursday afternoon, he noted that it was the second anniversary of his father's death "at the hands of a f***ing nigger."
"It's hard not to go off between that and sheran I'm gone in the head," he wrote, referring to his girlfriend. The Facebook page was taken down Sunday afternoon.
If you meant leftist dolts who will call anyone a "racist" for questioning the MSM-approved story line -- well, I was not playing their game.
I was replying to two persons posting on this thread who were playing the holier-than-the-rest-of-you-FReepers game.
“THE MEDIA IS QUOTING THIS”....so typical of the damn media!
I copied this from his facebook page:
Jake England
“Chilling at that house people talking shit on me for some shit I didn’t do lil man and cady Ian’s here I do believer it just mite be the time to call it quits I I hate to say it like that but I’m done if something does happen tonite be ready for another funeral later.”
That was my point, you need to go back a re read their comments...I think you misread them ;)
"Revenge would be gunning down the perp and his accomplices if there were any. Driving around randomly shooting Black people just because they are Black is not revenge; its called serial or spree killing. And its wrong no matter who the shooter or the victims and the colors of their skins." "
I agree with you wholeheartedly."
Because the media will take no matter what we do and take the opposite position, which is what it seems you are doing.
Wise up.
I don't like the idea that I must put an asterisk after any post about an alleged white-on-black crime -- an asterisk that basically bleats "But killing innocent people is wrong (gee, who knew); and "I'M not a racist."
My view is that FReepers
(a) understand right from wrong
(b) are not racists
and (c) are not in need of being lectured about (a) and (b).
But I don't think you're understanding my point, so I'm going to leave it at that. Have a happy Easter evening.
I saw the photos.
Unless the MSM just mans up and labels them as they are, there is going to be problems.
The Native community may not like being labeled as *white*, and the whites are not going to like everyone who is not outright black being labeled *white*.
