Double standard seen in white man’s killing: Critics point to Trayvon Martin case
The Washington Times ^ | August 21, 2013 | Ben Wolfgang

Five days after an Australian college student was gunned down by a trio of “bored” Oklahoma teens, the political and social reverberations continue to build across the nation and abroad.

While there’s been disgust and disbelief at the senseless death of Christopher Lane — who was studying in the U.S. on a baseball scholarship and visiting his girlfriend in Duncan, Okla., when he was shot while jogging on Friday — some former lawmakers and pundits say there’s a clear double standard in how President Obama and other political leaders, leading civil rights activists and the media have reacted to the case.

The shooting has sparked a different controversy in Mr. Lane’s native Australia, where much of the outrage has focused on what critics say is the American gun-friendly culture that made the killing possible.

The two teens facing murder charges in connection with the incident, James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, are black. A third teen, 17-year-old Michael Dewayne Jones, who is white, has been charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact.

Contrasts have been drawn with reaction to the February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, and the subsequent acquittal of former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

“Three black teens shoot white jogger. Who will [Mr. Obama] identify with this time?”(continued)

17-year-old Michael Dewayne Jones, who is white

I guarantee no white parent named him Dewayne.

If Obama had a son he might look like Dewayne.

There are African Americans who are albinos. Are they black, or white?

At times, Valerie Jarret, besides looking rat-faced, looks white. Is she? /rhetorical

There isn’t any way to spin this into MILLIONS of dollars for the race hustlers, while pimping a Democrat agenda.

It doesn’t fit a pre-approved MediaMatters narrative, so it must be downplayed and ignored.

Using nobama as a standard (one white parent/one black parent = black) the 3rd perp is black.

The killers are: one all black kid (Edwards), one all white kid (Jones), and one mulatto (Luna) who was raised by his white mom. Yes, I know it’s a shocker that Luna’s black father didn’t stick around to help raise him.

Edwards, the black perp, was the one who Tweeted about hating white people because 90% of them are evil, and he Tweeted about knocking out (pecker)woods after the Zimmerman verdict.

Dewayne has whitish skin but negroid features. In at least one internet posting, he is described as having one white and one black parent. Under Obamarules, that would count as black.

Most blacks in this country have white ancestry, including the supposed “white” kid involved in this crime.

As to the color of the third perp, he is whatever color makes race-hustlers look least hypocritical.

Admittedly, to the naked eye, the perp the authorities are referring to as white does not appear to be completely white.

The pics of him clearly show that he is a mulatto. I guess
the white half only counts when they shoot somebody down in cold blood, otherwise they are black.

Liberalism is a mental disorder apparently rampant in Australia, too.

He is sort of blackish or whitish.

He is definitely a wannabe gang banger.
