A five year old girl who had done nothing wrong was wantonly murdered as she sat on the lap of her grandfather. You haven’t heard about it? That’s not surprising; while the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons of the world posture and bloviate about violence and a lack of respect for human life that permeates communities, they routinely keep quiet about attacks that happen every single day in America unless the victim was a person of color and there are television cameras pointed at them.
You see, the left isn’t interested in telling the story of the murder of Laylah Petersen because Petersen doesn’t fit the preferred narrative. What I mean is: Petersen was white.
While sitting on her grandfather’s lap, a hail of bullets rang throughout the house in a mostly-black neighborhood in Milwaukee. Reports indicate that two black males went to the door of the house and opened fire on the house that belonged to Laylah’s grandparents.
The neighborhood in which Laylah’s grandparents lived is 77% black and only 14% white.
Of course, nobody will ever know the true motive behind this heinous crime; but then again, nobody bothered to ask about the motive before Sharpton, Jackson, Attorney General Eric Holder and the partisan media pounced on the shooting deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. All they knew is that a black person was killed by a white (or, in the case of Martin, a Hispanic) person. All other facts melted away in the early moments of rage and rhetoric and little Laylah Petersen lies dead and the race-hustlers and dividers don’t give a… darn.
Even if we account for the conflicting version of events surrounding the deaths of Martin and Brown, we can see that the issue is more-complicated than originally suspected. Brown had just robbed a store and allegedly attacked police officers. Martin had allegedly scuffled with George Zimmerman and went for Zimmerman’s gun.
What the hell could Laylah Petersen possibly have done? She was five years old and sitting on her grandfather’s knee in the relative safety of her grandparents’ home. Was she a Crip from a rival set? Did she owe bookies money? Had she perpetrated a drive-by earlier in the day and this shooting was retaliation? All highly unlikely scenarios… So, I ask again: where are the supposed defenders of innocent life? Where are the race-hustlers demanding a full accounting of what is being done to see that justice is done?
Somehow, I can’t help but believe that this would receive more attention if Laylah wasn’t white.
To be fair, something I’m not all that inclined to be in this case, I’s unlikely they were intentionally trying to kill the little girl.
They intended to fire guns in a criminal manner.
And regardless of intent, reverse the “races”.
The “Reverend” titles don’t fool God.
Just had a 61 year old white man beat to within an inch of his life in Baltimore the other day by a crowd of 50 black yutes.
One is being held for attempted murder.
You won’t hear a peep from the Fake Revs on that one either.
“reverse the races”
Oh, but that we could.
Oh, I agree. Reckless endangerment and corrupt heart at the least.
Just pointing out that it’s unlikely they were targetting the little girl.
Little black girls and boys get killed all the time this way. Nobody cares, because the shooters are almost always black.
Laylah Petersen
If we could ... the various Revs and the MSM would be all over this 24/7
They deliberately shot through a door, without bothering to ascertain whom was on the other side. Fairness was not their intention.
God damn their asses to hell.
Not sure about WI but in most states that’s first-degree murder.
one of your best!
They, and everybody else in the world, know what they are doing has nothing to do with defending innocent life.
The perps, if caught and convicted should be deported to the deepest, darkest sh*thole in Africa where AIDS and ebola predominate.
Yes, we need all the links and details, not just a ranting description of almost nothing of substance.
Our credibility depends on accuracy, details, linking to original sources, and sound analysis.
Don’t give the Left something that can be used to discredit us. Been in this business for 45 years and never sued or corrected (except for typos). I like to keep my reputation intact and I hope that everyone else does that for themselves and their organizations.
OMG, what a precious child.
Horrible. I hope they catch them and they are somehow soon put to death.
