  • Botham Jean witness ambushed, killed in parking lot

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/05/us/bo...led/index.html

    According to the family's attorney, "He had no known enemies. He worked for a living. He was not in the streets."

    Something isn't right.
    "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      You realize this is very likely a racially motivated retribution against a black man for being a key part in the conviction of a white female police women.

      This in the face of a black family member and judge who extended compassion and forgiveness to that same white woman who had carelessly killed their brother or member of their community.

        Look again. It is a way of expressing shocked interest. Sheesh.

          Ok - but that is not the normal use of that symbology on this website. And a symbol can only be expected speak to what it is tied to in the culture in which it is used.

              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                I saw that, but and even looked closely to see what about it might imply something less ridiculous that 'watching the show' or if it had been tagged in a way that offered some other explanation for his use of the symbol before I replied and didn't see anything obvious or even subtle that would imply anything different.

                      This can’t be a random occurrence.

                        It could be but that strains credulity

                          Not random (which I grant because no killing is truly random) doesn't equal related. No known enemies doesn't equal no enemies.

                          Just once, could we let them actually investigate before drawing conclusions?

                            Why should we expect this not to be some gang violence?
                            Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                              Why? Just because he's black?
