Teens pick wrong guy to rob - gets dead

[Svnla]

My daughter loves skittles. about the only candy she eats. I can't stand them. any of them. they all have a flavor i can't stand. Then again i can't stand much in teh way of sweets.

I love the peanut M&M's. the peanut butter are ok. i don't eat the plain ones but do use them in baking cookies.

What? You don't like any of the skittles? None? Ban!!!!!!

Skittles are good but I love Starbust candies. Them candies are like cracks to me. M+M peanuts are good too but not as good as Starbusts IMO.

<this thread is now about candies>

Many people saying "I feel bad for his family, but I'm glad Breitbart/Falwell is dead." Essentially the same things said in this thread, but certain people feel pity for dead muggers but not for dead right wing bloggers and religious nutjobs.

Apparently there are three things we can count on: death, taxes, and political hypocrisy.

Edit: I will point out there are some people like Bowfinger who choose not to crawl around in the mud. I may not always agree with him, but I've always appreciated Bowfinger's attitude.

LOL, apparently I was glad Falwell died too. Of course I'm also glad this violent mugger is dead, so I'm consistent at least.

Then I guess I am really screwing up by siding with John McNeil and John White, two black men who shot young white men in self-defense.

The equivalent of this is a common line from many asshole racists: "I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black".

Mmhmm.

I'm not racist because half of my forum username represents a black person! I never actually thought of it until very recently. Growing up I just saw people who were all equals. It took the progressive left before I started seeing divisions between people.

The African-Americans in those examples did not look like thugs, so it was wrong to go after them. But the thug-looking teens playing loud music, they looked like thugs, therefore they deserved to die before they could have a chance to show otherwise. That's not racist at all. If anything it's thugist, and thugism is not looked down upon in America.

Yeah Breitbart probably isn't the example you want to use here. He received as much respect as he gave others when they died. Consider it paying homage.

How much respect did that mugger show when he pulled a gun on this guy?

People here who are glad the thug died are just showing the thug the same respect he showed people in life. Consider it paying homage.

See how that works?

Exactly. You do that and it's good and should be celebrated when they get shot.

We are supposed to be better than the scum who do these things.

I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to kill anyone. I will, but I do not want to. I carry a gun but I pray that I don't have to use it in anger.

Yea? Well let's look again at what I was responding to:

You are absolutely consistent in your tendencies to believe white people are defenders deserving of every benefit of the doubt, while dark people are thug attackers deserving of being shot on sight.

So, I was told that I am "absolutely consistent" (which to me sounds like with no exceptions) in who I will side with in any biracial self-defense situation.

And in your opinion, it isn't legitimate for me to respond to that accusation with examples of biracial self-defense situations where I supported the black person killing the white person? I mean, if that isn't a proper response and refutation just what in the fuck would be?

And remember, the Trayvon thing was Hispanic vs. Black, no white person present.

Also keep in mind that I have no control over how much prominence various cases attain in the mainstream media or how popular they are to discuss on this forum. If you don't like the fact that my examples were obscure to you, or something like that, take it up with the media.

That's a good thing but all the thousand word or shorter essays you type scream contrary.

Bingo.

Word? So the fact that I type long-winded posts about issues indicates that I'm in denial about what my real feelings are and why? Interesting, interesting...

Well, if that's the case, then how do you explain the fact that my very first post on these boards (before I was what ANYONE would consider a racist btw) was 844 words long?

And the fact that I make extremely long posts basically about anything I discuss. Even gaming.

The fact is, I've been long-winded both verbally and textually for as long as I can remember. Well back into my early teens which is about 20 years ago. I frustrate people IRL plenty of times by being really long-winded and taking forever to get to my point. My gf likes to poke fun at how I'll do this even about completely mundane household things, giving a bunch of back story and lead up before I just get to the frigging point.

I admit this is an unfortunate trait I have, but I'm afraid you haven't stumbled on any DaVinci code "ah ha" moment about my beliefs and motivations.

 

[Geosurface]

Nice code word

racists looking to paint all [black] "teens" as thugs (which ain't nothing but another word for n1**er....so lets cut the crap and be honest).

So, "thug" is a code word for black people we're told... k.

Allow me to show you a great video example of how multicultural thugs can be: Oakland thugs running police off and shooting into the air while drag racing.

Very well worth your 3 minutes to watch. It was posted by an Oakland news station just a few days ago.

In the video you'll see primarily Hispanic thugs, but I think there are some white ones, and maybe even some Asian ones. There are certainly SOME black thugs in this video but they are a minority within the group.

There's a difference between being openly gleeful about a death as one poster in this thread is.

And saying I didn't like what the guy stood for... condolences to his family and friends though.

The above a bit different than "good heart attack... no great heart attack..." to paraphrase one particular odious post in this thread.

As far as I recall most of the posts in this thread call the shooting justified but call into question the celebratory attitude that at least one poster has demonstrated.
Furthermore I haven't seen. "Condolences to the mugger's family and friends." in many, if any at all, posts in this thread.

Whereas there are quite a few expressions of condolences to family an friends in the other thread.


In other words, people are saying the mugger deserved to die because he put himself in that situation and haven't really expressed any thoughts about people in his life, while Mr. Breitbart's family an friends received several condolences.


That's the nuance. In the first few pages of the first thread you mention I didn't see any post as celebratory as the thread starter for this subject.

It was quoting a post using "skittle" as his code word. Nice try though.

Despite political differences people offered condolences unlike in this thread where people didn't offer condolences to the mugger or his relatives. Some of them just called into question the attitude of celebration.

Can't see it can you?
I guess I shouldn't have expected you to anyways.

spidey uses "skittle" interchangeably with "thug" - but if you want to pretend I didn't quote you and only quoted the other guy, go right ahead.

My point stands.

I can only respond for myself. Figure out that holocaust yet?

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Godwin's Law deals with someone comparing someone else or their arguments to Nazis or Hitler.

I didn't compare anyone here to Hitler, I used Hitler as an example of someone whom most people would celebrate the death of (if they were alive when it happened, though they can certainly celebrate it even now, and do, see Inglorious Basterds?) - and if people would celebrate his death, then they cannot say that ever celebrating a death is automatic qualification for sociopathy, psychopathy, and horrible person status. Now can they?



Indeed, some people will never get it.

There are now over 7 billion people. Many of them ignorant, violent, superstitious savages. People who behead people over drugs in Mexico, or over religion in Arabia. People who cut the arms off young boys in Africa in the diamond trade, or put rubber tires full of gasoline around people from other African groups in Africa and light the gasoline on fire in what is called "necklacing" to enjoy watching them slowly burn to death. Nelson Mandela's wife was fond of this practice, FYI.

People who raid Boer farms remaining in Zimbabwe and rape, mutilate, and even scald a young boy of about 12 in a bathtub full of hot water to kill him, simply for their race.

These peoples' deaths do not diminish me or you or the world, they improve it.

And the planet itself buckles under the strain of so many human beings. Both the planet and humanity would be happier at 1 or 2 billion than 7+ and steadily rising.

Did you really just call unjustified murder a good thing? And it helps us all?

Your tune will change when you have a child brutally raped and murdered. And I hope someone says it was for the good of everyone.

I see someone desperately trying to justify politically motivated hypocrisy, yes.

And I'm not surprised you don't get it, because you're blinded by your own bias.

I see someone trying to assert a claim of hypocrisy and it's not surprising that your biases blind you to your shaky at best assertions.

Many people expressed condolences in the Brightbart thread.

Not many if any at all expressed condolences for the person who pointed a weapon at the officer or his family.
