Re: Police: Australian baseball player killed by Oklahoma teens -- just because
Murder has the same definition whether the person is white, black, brown, red, or purple. Murder is murder, is murder, is murder. These three boys will get a trial by jury just like anyone else, and the jurors, not public opinion, will determine their fate. I understand why people may personally feel that that the system is unfair based on previous slights real or perceived, but the day we determine murder cases based on people's feelings rather then facts is the day I'll be renouncing my citizenship of this country.
Of course whites won't march in the street over racism in this case, not much wiggle room for these guys to have white folks worried they will get away with killin' another white man. The long history of our grand and glorious Republic has given White folks a most excellent reason to truly believe 'justice' will be handled out to the murderers. There isn't much history of all black juries letting black murderers off even in the face of a mountain of evidence. White folks can't claim the same.
The cries or racism and outrage along racial lines seem to be coming from OUTSIDE my home state. I am kinda proud of us Okies in this case. Guess we figure there are a lot of reasons for kids to turn bad and do outrageously vile things.
I have noted some right wing kook websites attempting to push the race agenda- the WND posting pics of three very dark boys as the three suspects when we know that is wrong- did anyone ever apologize for that or explain how that happened?
So while some are quick to post the 'whitie' facebook slurs I wonder if these thundercats did the same with blacks? Most thuggers think they can take on the world so they are just as abusive to 'their own kind' as any other race of social group. Might not be quite the racism as just attack words, like say down in the basement here, using gay slurs to get personal with other men, or calling all women skanks, or unable to vote 'logically'.
Anywho, I don't think the fairer skinned folks in Duncan have to worry about the three kids being charged and standing trial like the folks in Florida worried about.
