See the mug shots on Drudge. One, the driver, is white, albeit a very scruffy, dirty looking white, but white nevertheless.

thats quite the stretch you have there. especially since its predicated on you “think” these thugs had smoked weed. i “thnk” you believe that “Teefer Madness” is a real documentary.

Any article I could find on line never mentioned the three were black yutes...very telling. Very sad day for journalism and the media.Don't look for the media to change their stripes at any time in the future.

No, it doesn’t. On the one hand, it saps the will and induces indolence and sloth. On the other, it creates perceptual distortion that can easily lead to violent behavior. I have seen it.

State v. Zimmerman was a local story but Ted Baxter and his peers turned it into a national story.
But he has a point: feral, young, black thugs preying on society at large isn’t news, while perforating a feral, young, black thug is ...

...”Last night, the three major networks ran the story.
The word BLACK was never uttered.
Only one network showed the three perps on the air, and one was very white. The three perps were all black”...
And, this is why we cannot have a decent country to live in..This media is the worst in the history of the nation.

The only network that I saw mention the race of the killers is FNC.

This is a direct result of the welfare state that the left perpetrated on black people just as they were beginning to achieve equality under the law. And instead of learning from their mistake the leftists want to double down on stupid.

I have seen it too, and I don't think I ever knew a violent pothead. Alcohol is much more likely to induce violent behavior, as is meth and cocaine.
I think the problem is that you have thugs predisposed to violence by their upbringing and peers smoking the stuff, but the stuff did not cause that behavior.

I don’t care if I’m called a racist or a bigot. That card’s been played out. Facts are facts. Young black males are responsible for a disproportionate amount of violent crime. There! I wrote it.

It’s happening all over. Feral subhuman non-Whites rape, attack, rob or kill Whites and the media is very happy over it.

... but because their ages are 16, 17, and 18, they cannot get the death penalty in Oklahoma. Hell; if they were 26,27 and 28 they'd STILL not get the death penalty!
Oklahoma may be #3, but...
- For a sentence of death to be imposed for first-degree murder, at least one or more aggravating circumstances must be found present or the aggravating factors must outweigh the mitigating circumstances:
- The defendant was previously convicted of a felony involving the use or threat of violence to the person.
- The defendant knowingly created a great risk of death to more than one person.
- The person committed the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration or employed another to commit the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration.
- The murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel.
- The murder was committed for the purpose of avoiding or preventing a lawful arrest or prosecution.
- The murder was committed by a person while serving a sentence of imprisonment on conviction of a felony.
- The existence of a probability that the defendant would commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society.
Otherwise, life imprisonment without parole or life imprisonment are the only sentences allowed.

(I didn't see ANYthing to do with AGE here; although #4 might kick in: IF the prosecutor can get a definition of heinous and/or atrocious to stick.)

Imagine if three “bored” white teens affiliated with some skin head gang had gunned down a young Black football player out for his morning run? Of course that would have spawned a racial firestorm and immediate calls for the DOJ to investigate this as a hate crime. However if three Black gang bangers gun down an innocent white kid the only thing you hear in the media is that our lax gun laws caused this.
