Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.
I wasn't aware the case had already gone to trial and the killers were acquitted based self defense?
And no, this gentlemen could not have looked like Obama's son. But he could have been Obama's father and then too this would have been a tragedy.
And what racism? What are you talking about? They criminals who did this have not even been arrested. As of yet, there is no reason to assume that this war hero was killed because of race.
In the Trayvon case there was a racial element to the case. Trayvon was not shot because of his race but his shooter did get out of his car because of Travyon's color and appearance.
If civil rights champions or the president would have to react every time someone is killed by someone of the opposite racial profile they would be doing nothing else. With more than 10,000 homicides a year and subsequent trials they would have a 80 hour work week just with reacting to crimes like this.
So where are Jackson, Sharpton and Obama on this? Why aren't they decrying the racism? Couldn't this guy have looked like Obama's son? After all he's half white?
