White House spokesman ‘not familiar with’ Chris Lane murder
The Daily Caller ^ | August 21, 2013 | Caroline May

Posted on 08/21/2013 12:35:35 PM PDT by GeorgeWashingtonsGhost

Josh Earnest, principal deputy White House press secretary, said he was not familiar with the murder of Australian jogger Chris Lane during Wednesday’s White House briefing.

When asked by Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry about the Chris Lane case, Earnest responded, “I’m not familiar with it, actually.”

Henry explained the case in brief to Earnest looking for reaction to the Oklahoma shooting death of Lane at the hands of “bored” African-American teens who thought it would be “fun” to kill somebody.

“This sounds like a pretty tragic case. I wouldn’t want to get ahead of the legal process here and it’s clear that law enforcement officials are involved and are investigating,” Earnest said. “But any act of violence is something that — the president I think himself has spoken pretty eloquently about violence in our communities and he stood at this podium a few weeks ago where he talked about his concern about the impact that violence is having on, in particular, young people in this country.”

When (if?) we do hear from the WH about this case, I expect the message to be that we all must do something to bring the poor youth up from poverty. More money spent a dozen different ways is the only thing that will make a difference. If the GOP was not so reluctant to spend more money, kids would not be so bored that they have to go out and kill people.

Unfortunately for Trayvon Martin’s surrogate daddy Barack H Obama II, there are millions of decent American’s whose son looks like Chris Lane. Where’s the national dialogue on race now Barry?

He might have clicked his car door locks, had he been driving. They were traumatized by the thought of that...

The Pres and Sec State owe are good ally a statement on the issue. I’m sure it will be about guns rather that feral toots, but at least something. This effects our relations with and important country.

Here's the sickening truth:

0bama and Holder are secretly glad that Chris Lane was murdered, because they see it as justified payback for Trayvon. Their feigned ignorance, their deafening silence, only confirm it.

Seriously, does anyone who has thought this over not think this is true?

Remember this face, it is that of a LIAR...

Josh Earnest: “I’m not familiar with it, actually.”

Unless he was in a cave yesterday he couldn't have missed it.

Kind of difficult shooting someone IN THE BACK who's following you.

Maybe he was moonwalking?

Oklahoma has the Death Penalty. Holder will take over the case.

>>If Big Media maintains the same crap level of journalism they displayed in the Zimmerman case, this incident will be be reported by CNN, NY Slimes, NBC, et al, as “a car pulled up behind Christopher Lane, and a confrontation ensued”.<<

I am amazed the story isn’t: “Chris Lane flashed White Power signs at the 2 poor yutes, then forced his back into the end of the gun, forcing the terrified gunholder — who was just coming back from driving a group of nuns to their dialysis appointments — to fire.”

Trayvon was hardly cold when the WH chimed in, Chris Lane however, doesn’t fit their racial template. You would also think that this senseless shooting would fan the flames of Obama’s call for more gun regulation, but again nothing because the shooting doesn’t fit their racial agenda.


Because the youths are from the one demographic that Obama’s policies have hurt the most - black teens. Over half of them have no jobs. Secondly, Race Hustlers Inc. haven’t empowered their people, only enriched the few (Jackson, Sharpton, etc). And it has brainwashed a younger generation into believing that they are victims of racism, when in fact blacks are treated as a protected class of society.

What are these race greivers going to do when Obama is out of office?

Ed Henry exposing Obama admin for all to see. All by asking the obvious question nobody else will. Look at the video with the reporter next to him slouching in his chair embarrassed that Obama spokeperson was asked a real question.

-- If Big Media maintains the same crap level of journalism they displayed in the Zimmerman case, this incident will be be reported by CNN, NY Slimes, NBC, et al, as "a car pulled up behind Christopher Lane, and a confrontation ensued". --

On the detail of "and a confrontation ensued," the media lifted the story directly from the charging document. In other words, it is the state of Florida, it's prosecutor, who gave us "then a confrontation ensued."

Not to say the Zimmerman case isn't based on crap journalism and a ginned up public outrage. Just that the state of Florida decided to press charges "so the facts could come out at trial," when the state knew the evidence didn't support the charge.

Doesn't matter: the perps are all under 18. They'll walk out of the juvie when they turn 21, then probably murder someone else 'just for the fun of it'.

They are not ready to respond. They are trying to figure out a way to bring “gun control” into the conversation as a cause of the shooting and a solution to this type of crime.

So they choose to pay no attention to it. So da rev jackson frowns on it. There’s got to be a reason.

The left wants the ‘oppressed’ underclass (Black) to rise up and overthrow the ‘oppressor’ (White).

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. They get away with this stuff! The media, and our “representatives” sit their pointedly ignoring what is going on, and how We, The People, have had it!!

This administration is beyond corrupt. It is beyond treasonous. But the media, and “our” reps are worse because they sit by and do NOTHING.

.....
