Lets be clear - this was not a kid who was acting out against bullying at school. THis was a politically motivated hate crime spawned by the same rhetoic that has infiltrated the right's mediasphere.
We have free license to connect the dots with 9/11 and radical Islam -as we should. But for some reason its out of bounds....or rationally unfounded to try to do the same with events like this and the radical rhetoric being aspoused by the president and his preferred media sources. .
THis kid is directly citing the president of the UNited States as part of his radical zeitgeist. That should ring an alarm that at best our president has gone too far with his rheotirc....or at worst is purposefully enabling this behavior. And the same holds true for the FOX primetime crew....and Breitbart.com. Because thats where these psycho's are getting their information from.
ANy reformed alcoholic or drug addict will tell you the first step to solving a problem is identifying it exists. There is a massive slew of our population that has not recognized this problem yet.
Grasshopper, you’re missing the point.
In Mark's eyes, the killer and I are both racist and equals. I suggest that this is not true, and another example of Mark's hijacking of the word "racist", and misrepresenting the truth when he uses this word.
