I feel bad for the families who will never get justice for their children because no one gives a crap about them..doesn’t fit into the left’s agenda to go after killers who happen to be black..black on black crime is a huge problem in this country, but if the race baiters don’t care, neither do I..they will kill themselves but in 2014 still find a way to vote Democrat, multiple times
“I guess it is just to difficult for the race baiters to face the fact of black on black crime, plus there is no media or money to be made there.”
Yes, if Zimmerman had been Black, this would have simply been a day like all other days. Would the “Martin’s” been so aggrieved if their criminal “son” had been killed by “one of their own?”
“wounded”?
Somebody needs to air-drop higher caliber weapons into that toilet.
Piers Morgan says, "I don't understand how it wasn't a white Hispanic who shot this black baby in the arm."
It's OK to shoot black folks as long as you aren't a racist white Hispanic.
isn’t that down from the norm in Chicago?
I guess we could ask the parents what their children were doing out at that hour? snort I’ll bet they weren’t on their way to work.
Remind me: what was that comment in reply to?
Who will speak for these young black babies?
I am quite sure that Sharpton and Jackson are on their way!!
Oh, wait, it is blacks killing blacks. No need for them to go there - race is not a factor.
For Sharpton and others, its OK when blacks are killed as long as they are killed by their own kind..that is their mentality..Ray Lewis, murderer, now a Super bowl champion, no outrage..OJ Simpson, murderer, you see black people dancing in the streets..Jamiel Shaw, 17 year old murdered by an illegal alien here in Los Angeles, not a peep of outrage by the media
Because they can’t find a White anywhere that they can pin the murders on.
And they continue to find excuses for their self-inflicted pathologies.
Where are the poverty pimps?
Where’s NBC News and the white enablers of the press?
Where’s the crowds of angry black citizens who can’t believe a CHILD has died?
And Occupy and Black Panthers? Where’s the high drama and the finger pointing?
Who cares? Not me. Was George Zimmerman visiting Chicago recently?
No, but an army of black ‘children’ have been murdered in Chicago since Travon died - and there’s not even a wee bit of concern on the part of NBC News, black poverty pimps, or the New York Times. Just saying...
The media is our biggest enemy. They are disgusting and lower than whale crap.
the media wants race riots..its like Christmas and New Years all rolled up into one for them..having race riots would prove beneficial to them..they would get enough of the white guilt crowd to vote Democrat..thats what they care about most, that and taking away people’s guns
Only wounded, they need target practice!!!
8 wounded???
Answer - range time!
