Hang everyone of those dirty ba$tard$. I’m sick and tired of this constant animal behavior by blacks.
As I recall, Republicans pushed hard for a federal anti-lynching law back in the 1930s, but Democrats blocked it from passage.
I saw the video on tv here in South Carolina right before they turned themselves in. It clearly showed their features as they walked down the sidewalk before the attack, so it’s no surprise that they decided to turn themselves in. They would have been easy to catch.
The report at the time said that the attack itself was captured on video too (of the parking lot where it occurred), but that part wasn’t going to be released to the public. I assume it wasn’t released because it was considered too inflammatory (a gang of blacks attacking a single white). Yet I don’t recall there having been any similar restraint in showing the beating of the black man Rodney King by white policemen — the part that made them look the worst, that is (and omitting the part in which he got up and lunged at the police. I didn’t see that part until the night of the riots themselves, when it must have occurred to somebody that maybe they’d better stop omitting it, and try to calm things down.)
Though there are some drawbacks to having cameras in so many public places, I do like them when they help capture thugs like these.
Let me add that I support treating people as individuals, whatever their race. Treat the thugs as thugs, and the decent people as decent people — individually. As a teenager in the segregated South, I reached the conclusion that the racial discrimination against blacks that 80% or 90% of my fellow white Southerners were supporting back then was wrong.
That was a long time ago, but I still have essentially the same beliefs about the rights of the individual. Nowadays, though, I think the double standard is more often being applied to the detriment of whites. It’s still wrong, no matter what the color of the victim.
Somebody left the irony on.
