If you were looking for a mirror image of the Trayvon Martin incident, here you go. This happened a few days ago, but oddly enough the national media hasn’t made it into a big story. I wonder why?
Police are saying more about a shooting at a Taco Bell Tuesday night in which one man died.
They’re also identifying the victim as 29-year-old Daniel Adkins.
About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.
At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.
They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.
The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.
At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them — but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.
Family members want that driver arrested, but he’s claiming self-defense.
“He needs to be behind bars. I’ll never see my brother again,” says sister Marina Reyes. “If he felt that my brother was threatening him, he could have easily just rolled up the window and called the cops.”
The media won’t report anything that doesn’t fit the profile.
Maybe the ex-NBC producer can free lance this story?

Cops shot the dog...
.
They’re liberal, therefore racist.
“This person is still on the loose and I don’t agree with that. So he’s saying self defense, then where’s the weapon? Where’s the pipe? They didn’t find anything on my brother,” says Reyes. “He was just too aggressive, you don’t need to go that far.”
It was about a month before the Martin case was brought to light.
Somebody, please get guy's address to Spike Lee.
Why was that reporter talking about a dead man in the present tense? Are basic English skills not a perquisite for being a television journalist anymore?
I have noticed lately that all our news reporters in AZ use the present tense. In every story. On the radio, newspapers. It is really annoying. I think they want to make you feel you are somehow in on the action. I detest it.
Where did this happen??
Oh goody, there’s soon to be a million dollar reward for the Negro guy, dead or alive, I can’t wait.

Or at least a neigbours.:)
The majority of Hispanics are from the Caucasian race which also includes people from European origins, people from Semitic origin (Jews, Arabs, other inhabitant of the Middle East), people from North Africa, people from Central Asia, and people from Southern Asia (Sub-Indian continent). Of course the skin color varies from the very white to dark brown in the Caucasian race but they all share similar physical feature such as the shape of the head and other major features of the face. I do not know why we even have a classification for Hispanic when we talk about race because the majority Hispanics are a subgroup of the larger Caucasian race.
“Hispanics are white. Look it up.”
Well, their crimes stats are piled into Whitey”s column, if that’s what you mean.
I'm sorry, but you don't send someone with the size and strength of an adult and the mind of a child around town alone. Bad things can happen.
