"Mean looks" between groups of teens Tuesday night sparked a confrontation that led to the shooting deaths of two teens, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said Thursday. Two other teens -- Jarrad Beard, 19, and his 16-year-old brother -- were arrested after the shootings. Dyer said the brothers, who were booked on two counts of murder each, are gang members. Beard was booked into the Fresno County Jail, while his brother was booked into the Juvenile Justice Center. Before announcing the arrests, Dyer expressed his condolences to the families of shooting victims Justin Hesketh, 18, and Brandon Moore, 16, both of Fresno. Hesketh and Moore were not associated with any gang, police said. "This was a senseless act of violence," Dyer said. "It all stemmed from mean looks, and now two teenagers are dead."

Holder’s People. They killed white kids because of “mean looks?” Well, hell; Holder and his boss have pretty much told “their people” that they are not responsibile for anything they do, that it is “whitey’s fault” or society’s fault or anyone else’s fault but theirs. Such twisted reasoning has become institutionalized in the United States.

I’m afraid there is now no possible chance of any kind of peaceful coexistence among the various “groups” the lefties have established, as that was in fact what the lefties had intended all along: Establish separate identity groups for the sole purpose of creating divisions, and then pit various groups against others, so that chaos ensues and the government (which must be controlled by the left) gets to step in and “remedy the situation.” This will necessarily result in the complete subjugation of the people by the government, and the people will be wholly subservient to the government; the government will become omnipotent.

If there is any hope for the future of the United States as a constitrutional republic, based on the rule of law, the left must be totally and permanently destroyed. Nothing less will answer.

God help us.

I agree. We are spiraling out of control.

“The war against white people rolls on. Why is this not a ‘hate crime’?”

Because the shooters are Holder’s People.

And the US is morphing into South Africa. Perhaps there was a tincy wincy bit of truth to what Ron Paul said 20 years ago.

“If looks could kill” comes true, sort of.

Hate(ful looks) crime?

Naw...now if it’d been white on black killing, Jesse Jackson and the Rev Al would be protesting on Fisherman’s Wharf along with a group of Eric Holder’s people...

An Obama/Holder murder. Part racism, part envy. The victims were white and had a vehicle. Holder's constant harping on race and Obama’s call for class war have consequences. Such rhetoric trickles down and the shooters doubtless heard its echoes at home and in their neighborhood. Look for more of this.
Media. If the races were reversed this would be a national story. As it is.........

I was driving to the airport one night to pick up my husband. I noticed a black teen on my left side crowding me and giving me “mean looks”. He continued to threaten me and act like he was going to side swipe me until I smiled and waved at him in a (white) grandmotherly fashion.

He finally moved on. All I can figure is that I somehow “dissed him” (isn't that the right word?). Close call he could have shot me!

Something similar happened to a friend of mine when we were still living in New Mexico. My friend just ran the guy off the road, practically right into the Rio Grande (this happened on Highway 44/550 in Bernalillo).

He didn’t take crap from anyone.

“The war against white people rolls on.

Why is this not a ‘hate crime’?”

The shooters were some of “Holder’s People”. The victims were white and AG Holder has emphatically stated that white Americans are not protected by hate crime laws.

Try to keep up.

Now that I think about it this was not the first time. Back in the late 60’s I was driving a diesel Mercedes and a guy and a girl obviously stoned out of their minds tried to run me off the road. If you are familiar with old diesel Mercedes they had no pick up power at all. They finally let me alone but it scared the you-know-what out of me!

It's funny you mention the old diesel Mercedes-es. Our family had two of them. I used to drive the '62 190 D. It looked a lot like this:

You're right about "pickup" being non-existent. They were great for preventing tailgaters, though. No-one wants a snootful of diesel smoke, so people would back off rather quickly. Plus ours would get up to 40 mpg.

Today I would have my cell phone and I would call the sheriff and give him a description and a license number. That’d fix ‘em!
