    Holy Crap!!
    Twenty-year-old Sharmeka Moffitt (pictured) was reportedly set on fire by men as she walked on a park trail on Sunday night, according to KLTV.

    Moffitt was reportedly walking in Civitan Park in Winnsboro, La., when she was allegedly attacked by three men who were wearing “white hoodies.” While authorities have resisted calling the incident a “hate crime,” they say that Moffitt’s car was spray painted with a number of racial slurs, which were not specified at press time.

    but not ambiguous enough for them to refer to the three as KKK?

    Damn hoodies, giving the Klan a bad name

    That's heinous. See if someone set them on fire and see how they'd like it.

    Thats shocking. I really can't understand what would be in someone's mind that would cause them to inflict such a horror on anybody.

    It really says a lot about you that you automatically assume that these people are Caucasian members of the KKK when they could just have easily been a bunch of racist Latinos with matching white hoodies. Shame on you.....shaaaaaaammmeee

    nothing about the source article encourages me to believe any part of this 'story'.

    it might be true, but thus far, it's as true as green skinned Aliens landing in Dublin.

    edit: LOL. I dont think i read an article with so many uses of 'allegedly' 'reported' 'speculated' etc before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    It could have been anyone, and done for any number of reasons.
    I don't see how it's being considered a kkk crime when they were wearing white hoodies.
    Sure the other day I was wearing a white hoody.
    Granted, I didn't happen to set anyone on fire!

    I was quoting the link headline, I missed the question mark. Happy to have a mod insert the question mark.

    On the other hand you just dissed 300 million people with your unoriginal 'Merica nonsense. Typical AH knee-jerk reaction. Not funny and completely pointless.

    Writing KKK on the cars is a bit of a giveaway no?

    In fact if I was an Argentinian hit-man called Alberto Sanchez and I wanted to camouflage who killed my target would I not just put on a white a sheet and do the hit?

    I'd tend to agree with you. The KKK possibly has members in other countries but the Americans always like to go one better. Everything is on a much bigger scale in the US.

    This paragraph sounds ridiculous.
    While the race of the men has not been officially confirmed, initial reports speculated that Moffitt was set on fire by the Ku Klux Klan, because she was wearing a President Barack Obama shirt. Monday afternoon, various media reports dispelled the Obama T-shirt rumor, but have not recanted that the men did indeed have white hoodies on during the attack.
    So she was attacked by the Ku Klux Klan because she was wearing a Barack Obama t-shirt and not because she was black?

    The whole story sounds ridiculous really. When did the Ku Klux Klan swap their robes for hoodies?

    It's terrible that this happened but it may well have just been a random attack by a bunch of scumbags. Journalists seem to think that bringing racism into something makes it more shocking, as if someone being set on fire isn't bad enough in itself.

    O'Connell's a tough player but I don't think he's ever actually murdered anyone.

    Seemingly there's a chance that she actually set herself on fire.

    That's what I thought from the start.There's been a few of these hoax racist attacks where it turns out the alleged victim set it up.There was a black girl in France in the 80's who claimed a bunch of skinheads forcibly shaved her head.A wheelchair bound girl in Germany who had a swastika carved into her forehead by skins and more recently a South American woman in Switzerland who said she was attacked by racists.It turned out in all cases that they'd made it up.God only knows why,probably mental issues or attention seeking.

    K'rry K'tona! You drop the vowel.

    White hoodie = skanger/scobe

    White hood = Caucasian gangsta
