The media will keep this up until the next election and make out there is a war on minorities while Clinton will harp about war on women.

Notice how the media always and I mean always try to paint the thug as a nice honest person?

Please, the only reason this is making news is because of the location, Madison, Wisconsin. Who happens to reside in Madison, why that would be Governor Scott Walker, a presumptive candidate for president. If you don’t think the left won’t try to link this death to him then you don’t know them very well.

Notice how it is the media who are the true enemies within the gates, always seeking to foment racial violence and impugn Christians in America? We know where to go hunting after the collapse of this nation due to the work of this enemy.

They never show the Department of Corrections photo on the local media, always the HS graduation photo. They never mention , until late today when they could no longer ignore it, his home invasion while armed felony conviction. It is just being used to rile the usual suspects up. They actually used the “gentle giant” appellation in the local newscasts last night. Typical Madistan race baiting.

Home invasion armed robbery conviction for which he got a suspended sentence. He was on a suspended sentence from a previous armed robbery when he got his fool young ass shot.

First off, he was not a “teen”. He was 19. A legal adult.

He was currently on 3 years probation for a conviction for participating in an armed home invasion. For which he should have been incarcerated and then this would never have happened. A conviction for an armed home invasion hardly qualifies this man (not teen) for adolescent sainthood.

Surely someone enterprising liberal reporter (redundant) could have found his 6th grade school photo for the story.

Kid’s mom is white. Maybe it’s an anti-Obama killing.

Who is running Madison, WI? I’m guessing the mayor as well as the city council are probably all Lefties.

I thought I read it was probation. Close enough. The guy had a track record for sure.

I’m way past sick of this sh1t.

“...his home invasion while armed...”

Wow - that's the death penalty where I live.

Well, in my house anyways.

But seriously (although I was being serious) - even if it happened when he was a juvenile - it would seem he didn't get much of a sentence for that.

Years ago, mid ‘90’s, when Wisconsin changed their welfare rules to lure Chicago moochers here for more benefits, I told my boss that Madison would change in a way he couldn’t imagine...he laughed at me. His home has now been swallowed up into one of the worst neighborhoods of Madistan. I haven’t seen him in years so I can’t report his present day feelings on the subject. He always respected me even knowing I was, in his eyes, a “right-wing kook”.

Police were on their way because he was apparently harassing drivers and they got a second call about him beating someone before they made it to the first call.

Well, I'm sure the press will make sure we know who the Governor is (as if it really makes a difference).

You are exactly correct.
