I recognize that guy in the picture who got killed. Maybe he has a more recognizable face to me than the woman, but, I do remember thinking him. So, there was some media attention somewhere.<br /><br />(random) And forget about the whole race thing, I still wonder why things with random little cute (usually white) kids get THE most attention over anything. Guess people don't care about adults so much, lol.<br /><br />And even though you weren't responding to me...I'm iffy on the whole concept of a hate crime too. Some people do kill just because of a certain race/orientation/religion/whatever. Which is bad. Buut is that worse than killing someone because you hate their guts personally? I mean it is, but is it...why does it have its own category. <br /><br />I remember there was a funny South Park episode about hate crimes, you might appreciate it Traddy. Oh lookie here I found it. Bad quality but it was the only one I found that wasn't deleted off youtube lol. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi2iBSB4foE&feature=related" rel="nofollow"> Cartman's silly hate crime </a> Watch it if you have time, you might like.<br /><br />- LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-45700516194766915892009-08-19T09:17:23.087-04:002009-08-19T09:17:23.087-04:00Adoro - I am not a hate crimes guy, my point was w...Adoro - I am not a hate crimes guy, my point was why is it that only whites are accused of them? Isn't in the genetic code of a minority to have hate in his or her heart? <br /><br />While whites can so easily be brought to trial as hate criminals, I'm not seeing evidence that blacks or other minorities are as well. <br /><br />I assert that if 5 whites had gang raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered 2 blacks, rest assured the media coverage would have been much different. <br /><br />Uncle Jesse and Uncle Al would be out there screaming from the rooftops about the hate filled whites that committed these atrocities against their black brother and sister.<br /><br />Where's the outage? <br /><br />That's all.The Rockin' Traddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655979831127314413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-75490469368448375992009-08-19T00:35:01.406-04:002009-08-19T00:35:01.406-04:00some random explanation here

And sheesh, ever looked at that crime library? Some of the stuff on there...wtf...<br /><br />And who knows why the Matthew Shepherd thing got so much attention, turning into a play and all....... I'll bet there are plenty of times other gays get beat up even to the point of death that, again, doesn't get all that attention. Don't know, some stories just seem to catch more media attention than others. I feel that whole Laci Petersen thing got WAY way too much attention. And even those random college girls who went missing in Mexico or something. It's like...okay tons of children and people go missing and kidnapped everyday. Why did those get so much attention.<br /><br />As far as snopes' comment on VTech. Well come on, I'm partial to that one obviously...but that WAS the largest "mass shooting" as far as numbers go in the US, beating out Columbine and Luby's, so that deserved some media. And it didn't even get as much stuff as Benet Ramsey or Laci Petersen...thankfully. I was really hoping it wouldn't turn into some damn lurid TV/media soap opera. But then, at the same time, I know some military people were like "larger numbers of people are dying in Iraq all the time and they don't get the memorial and attention those 32 students did, grrr..." etc. So, you know...there's always going to be something.<br />- LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-41604974486513721092009-08-18T23:35:55.287-04:002009-08-18T23:35:55.287-04:00While I agree this is a horrific crime and this sh...While I agree this is a horrific crime and this should be in the news, these guys publicly villified and brought to justice, I don't see evidence here that it can be classified as a "hate crime".<br /><br />In fact, the entire "hate crime" designation is completely stupid and was made up by some politician in order to get votes so he could pretend he was "doing something". <br /><br />In the Sheppard case, I believe there was evidence, if I remember it correctly, that the REASON they did this was because he was apparently gay. <br /><br />But I remember the Duke case, and the "hate crime" designation was completely stupid. They did what they did because they were a bunch of *(&^*(*&^^ and because they COULD. I don't recall that race had anything to do with it. <br /><br />And in this case, I see no evidence that the fact that the victims were white had anything to do with their torture and murder. Thus, it can't be classified as a hate crime unless there's something here I'm not seeing. <br /><br />But be in the media...yes, it should be. This is so horrific it should be all OVER the news. Yet I'm not surprised. Here in MN no matter how awful it is, if it doesn't happen in the big city, it doesn't happen. News is a matter of convenience, not truth. <br /><br />You should know that by now. <br /><br />I pray for the souls of the two that were so brutally murdered (my God, how awful, I have no words!), and for those who savaged them. May the Lord have the Mercy upon them that I can't muster.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.com
