Despite what the right-wing blogs are cawing, there is no eyewitness that Tayvonn attacked anyone. There are eyewitnesses, however, who say that the shooter was seen straddling the dead body and would not turn it over to administer CPR.
Kid was shot because he was black and he was in the “wrong” neighborhood.
It’s a sick, twisted shame that there are some out there who are trying to muddy the waters on behalf of the overzealous bigoted nutbag who fired the gun.
Before you convict anyone in the “court” of public opinion, or form an opinion based solely on opinions from left-leaning talking heads, you would do well to look at all the evidence, and the case after the police finish gathering and investigating. No one has the full details yet because even the authorities don’t. They’re not through. Things are seldom as simple as thirty second sound bytes or public agitators make them out to be. Just because there is instant gratification via the internet and “the news” does not relieve anyone from the responsibility of researching and thinking for themselves. “Lynchings” aren’t right; no matter who is doing them, nor to whom they are being done.
Great cartoon! There are lots of flies on this site too. People who think the police will “find the facts” are delusional. Often the truth is altered or omitted by the very people who are supposed to protect it. This case is an example.
The flies that are attracted to that poop are also the people who pimp their skin color for all they can get, crying “racism!” at any and everything they see that they don’t like, without any evidence for their claim whatsoever. It’s also fanatical racists like Eric Holder, who openly declare that people have different rights under the law depending on their skin color. It’s also race-baiters like Obama, who like to divide Americans up by race. It’s also scumbags like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who fan the flames of racism so they can profit from it. It’s also the people who try so very hard to teach young non-white people that they should never have to earn anything in life, or take any responsibility for themselves, that their skin color entitles them to have everything they want handed to them, that it excuses anything wrong they ever do. It’s people who claim that people who were never slaves are entitled to “reparations” from people who never owned slaves. It’s the notion that everyone but white people should celebrate their ethnicity. It’s “journalists” who refuse to cover stories about mobs of black people attacking innocent white people for no reason other than being white. And, quite frankly, THESE forms of racism are far more pervasive in modern America than the the sort of racism the author was alluding to. But it’s not PC to talk about it, and in our brave new PC world it’s considered racist to NOT support these forms of racism.
