Murder hate crime (blacks kill whites)

FPM is a conservative, xenophobic and racist publication. Wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

I just read a very interesting article about a trial in America where two white people were beaten to death outside a McDonald's in Texas university. The story was not widely reported in the media, no idea why not when if two innocent black people were beaten to death by a group of whites. Now the blacks are out protesting about the killing of a so called 'harmless' black teen in Missouri. Oh the hypocrisy!

I can't see the relevance of race . People, lots of people get murdered in the usa , every single day.

Maybe there's a website where i can read about all or some of the less internationally sensationalized newsworthy propaganda .

I think it ought to be remembered that going by the report, several people assisted the couples and at least one testified at the trial on their behalf, just before anyone gets too crazy. Also, its got to be remembered Ferguson is - at its heart, taking the racial tones out of it - about the potentially unjustified killing of an unarmed man by a police officer. Its also true to say that the restaurant appears to have been a very violent area with many black people being attacked - just before the beating, a gun had been drawn in the restaurant. People might equally point that the media did not report or make a big deal out of that violence. Though murder is a step up.

It's true that if a mob of white people attacked and beat to death black people in an unprovoked assault then all hell would break loose. The media do know the answer to that issue and believe its worth highlighting. In the Ferguson case we were very quickly informed that Michael Brown was black, and that the cop who shot him was white. That was seemingly very relevant to the shooting.

That a mob of black people attacked and beat to death a white couple in an unprovoked assault is dismissed by the same media as non-news or not unusual enough to report is pretty insulting...just not quite sure who to. Also interesting that the killers essentially got away with it - a 90 day sentence for one guy is a bit of a joke.

I will say one thing - if I arrived into the carparks of a McDonalds and saw 400 guys hanging around outside after midnight obviously up to no good, I'd be out of there whether it was Darndale or Texas.

Killing somebody because of their skin colour is wrong full stop no matter what race the killer is or the victims are.

The article says that the witness was one of the couple of white people who were in the restaurant. The people who helped, only stepped in to help her into the car after the incident.

Some nearby good-Samaritans, including a few black females, helped the frantic teens lift their dates into the 4Runner’s back seat; Ward was unable to speak or walk. Danisha Stern, a trial witness, then told them to “get out of there . . . it’s not safe.”

I might be guilty of racial profiling here, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Danisha was one of the black females. Actually, I'm right...the article confirms it later on:

Stern, the black good-Samaritan, testified that the black mob had piled on Ward in part because he was white; or as she explained: “He was trying to save his friend or stop the attacks…targeted at his friend. And he was a white male so I guess any — anything that was — anybody that was not helping the fight, like, adding to the injury or whatever, was seen as an opponent or something, you know.”

Indeed, given that the article reports that the overwhelming majority of people in the carpark and the restaurant were black its safe to assume the majority of the good Samaritans were black as well. I'm not sure why its hard for you to accept that.

The fact that these young teenagers didn't realise the danger of a crowd of 400 just shows how harmless and innocent and undeserving of the brutal assault that took place. A crowd stomping on somebody who they have never met before after telling them 'they are in the wrong neck of the woods cowboy' is a pure hate crime if ever there was one.

I agree that it demonstrates how innocent the victims were that their immediate reaction wasn't "Nope" and to drive off and find another McDonalds without the 400 strong mob of thugs outside it.

As for the hate crime aspect...I think that if circumstances were reversed ( a black date couple getting told they were in the wrong place, and then beaten to death by a mob of white people) the US media would go into full hysteria over it. The disinterest reflects the failure of the US media to actively seek racial tensions in some cases (like Ferguson, and Zimmerman-Martin and the Henry Louis Gates "incident" from recent times), and to self-censor in others. That doesn't mean any of those cases were hate crimes however.

That said, I think the deeper problem is that there is a culture where 400 young men hang out, after midnight turning their neighbourhoods into "no-go" areas for anyone with half an ounce of sense. The murderous beating of the victims wasn't a freak incident - it was something coming for a very long time by all accounts with years of violence at that location. Violence by and against black people. While I think the article does draw attention to the cynical lack of media attention on the attack on the white couples, it doesn't ask why the years of violence previous to that were not reported on or tackled *before* the murder occurred.

Personally I think the media's indulgence of race supports a self pitying, hopelessness that leads to underachievement and misdirected rage. And gangs of 400 men hanging around outside a McDonald's uselessly and violently rather than trying to improve their lives. The constant message from the media is "Don't try. Even if you become a professor like Gates, even if you become President, to the white police and the white elite you'll still be nothing".

One of the key things leaders like MLK offered was hope. All the current generation of leaders offer is cynicism and anger.

Isn't that what American liberals say about every conservative publication.

Nearly every headline had something to do with black racism against white people. I'd say it has an agenda. Possibly a gay one too. They keep mentioning "shirtless" black males.
