Quote: | ONE of the teenagers charged with the murder of Melbourne baseball star Chris Lane posted racist tweets saying he hated white people in the months before the shooting. |

I understand gun laws are the biggest issue with this case at the moment, but surely the murder being racially-motivated can't be dimissed considering one of the shooters harboured strong hatred towards white people.
How has this been dismissed by so many so quickly? _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Fair point, but the two charged with murder were African American and one of them displayed some kind of hatred against '90% of white people'. I might be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if they ideally wanted to go for a white caucasian as their target, but if they got bored as they say they did, then they'd probably go for anyone on the street, no matter if you're black or white or male or female.

I very nearly put this in the WTF thread, and it certainly wouldn't be out of place there.
I'm sorry, WTF?
But wait, there's more. End of the same article.
Quote: | Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington supports the equality stance and has a legally blind daughter who plans to obtain a permit to carry when she turns 2.
"If sheriffs spent more time trying to keep guns out of criminals' hands and not people with disabilities, their time would be more productive," Wethington told the Register as he and his daughter took turns practice shooting with a semi-automatic handgun.
|
Edit, I just bumped into another article on the same subject elsewhere. The Sheriff's daughter will turn 21 in 2 years and he'll get her the licence to carry then, not when she turns 2. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Well, hopefully the 2 year old wouldn't also have a drivers licence? _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Chicago police search for suspects in shooting that hurt 13
Chicago police are searching for suspected gang members who opened fire with an assault weapon at a park late on Thursday, wounding 13 people including a 3-year-old boy, in an attack that highlighted Mayor Rahm Emanuel's struggle to stem street crime.
Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told a news conference that up to three gunmen used at least one assault-style weapon with a high-capacity ammunition clip to fire on a crowd in the city's Back of the Yards neighborhood.
The shooting, on a warm night when residents were enjoying a basketball game, came 10 days after Emanuel and McCarthy held a press conference in a nearby neighborhood to claim success in a strategy of flooding 20 high-crime neighborhoods with police.

Blacks killing Blacks, it's a form of population control setting up gun shops in black neighborhoods. |

Assault weapons you would think would have been designed and intended for the Military and outside of them and law enforcement no one else should be allowed to legally own them.
When will the yanks learn?

Nairobi shooting: Kenya police in stand-off with terrorists after 39 shoppers killed in mall massacre
An unknown number of hostages are being held by gunmen inside a shopping centre in Kenya's capital Nairobi, more than 17 hours after terrorists from the Somali group Al Shabaab launched a deadly attack on the complex.
At least 39 people were killed and more than 150 injured when heavily armed gunmen attacked the city's Westgate mall on Saturday (local time), throwing grenades and shooting shoppers as they went.
