Was the guy black or Hispanic or some other minority?
Because if not, who cares?
I say that sarcastically, because the news report is almost a month old. Where is the outrage from the same people who support BLM? For a whole month nobody here has mentioned this.

But, no, I don't think this was a "racial" killing, so it's not as important to the media.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostI think too much focus is placed on race.
There have been other controversial shootings of white people (there was a big debate thread on the shooting of Daniel Shaver a few years ago, and the shooting of Duncan Lemp has been discussed in the news as well).
The idea that something is not worth discussing just because race isn't involved is something I won't accept from either side. My main point is: there's a certain irony in bringing race into an unrelated thread to complain that people talk too much about race.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I found what I think is this incident, and while I don't condone what happened, the text in the OP has a WHOLE LOT of speculation and.. um... creative reporting.

If he had been some other ethnicity, it would habpve been all over the place, adding fuel to the fire the media and BLM has made.
