Wow, very surprising. I expected someone to do some serious jail time over this incident.

So, the perps got off because they’re white like the jury? Or because the vic was black?

I expected them to do jail time but don’t think they killed him. I’ve heard they beat him but don’t see that in the video. They are standing around him and apparently trying to control him but thats all I see. The nurse even pulled out her stethoscope to check him.

its certainly a tragedy but accidental.

No, havent seen the vid. I’ll admit to a knee jerk dislike for CNN though.

That could be why I didn’t comment about the tape or its material and kept it aimed at the channel I love to loath.

I would suggest, just as a general concept type thing, though...that maybe the folk who actually heard all the evidence, rather than just that tape, developed a different cause-effect relationship.

Or, maybe it was just white people don’t care about black kids because all whitie are devil? That is what the piece of disinformer paid by CNN tried hard to imply.

“Seen the video?...I have...

They killed the kid.”

How exactly did they kill him? What did they wittingly do to him that would cause his death? Are you asserting that they knew of his previously un-diagnosed condition?

With the dumbing down of America, nothing coming out of a Jury would suprise me anymore.

Its been in the news a lot down here in hanging chad territory. Evidently the ammonia packet was used to excess and he suffocated. I could be wrong but he wasn’t beat to death like they want us to believe.

He was a troubled child sent to boot camp in an attempt to turn him around. I don’t think his race had anything to do with anything except the level of attention this case is getting.

Don’t mean to sound like Sharpton’s bartender, but if the kid had been white someone would have gone to jail. It’s as simple as that. No, I can’t prove it, but I believe it nonetheless.

The defendent (perp to you) was ‘black’ also.

He was one of seven defendants.
