Man Beaten by Mob...

Why should the national news run a story on guy that got beat up?

Funny how people seem desperate to find a story to accuse the "national media" of not running.

[Blake]

excuse me: a ing idiot. my skills as a ing idiot might erode.

If your skills as an idiot erode, does that mean you are getting worse than an idiot, or does it mean you are getting smarter

not sure, not worried

minor pastime here

I figured as much. Was just curious; thinking out loud

[JudynTX]

one of the attackers allegedly said, "now that's justice for Travon"

So is that going to be the excuse for anytime black people want to beat up on a white person?

Note, the article doesn't mention the race of the attackers. That's only my assumption.

"allegedly" said.

obviously the reason why your skills as a ing idiot would erode.

"skills as an idiot" may be inherently opaque

Status envy, most probably: I am en led to see my outrage du jour on the network news, too.

(I cannot see my own reflection in the media mirror, therefore it is a hypocritical lie)

but but but he said TRAYVON!

[Bill_Brasky]

The reason TM got a lot of attention is because the person that murdered him wasn't being brought to justice.

[Oh, Gee!!]

lemme guess, this is linked on drudge in red.

killed

[SnakeBoy]

Of course, if he is found guilty, the over the top celebration by the black community will certainly egg on some racist whites to retaliate.

Over the top celebration in the black community usually involves destroying their own neighborhoods and killing/robbing each other so white retaliation won't be neccessary.

[ChumpDumper]

lol executive order

[rjv]

there sure is. And that's a good thing in the end. nobody wants race wars

Except the media and govt should have been responsible in the first place and not make Trayvon case a racial case. they dropped the ball there and are trying to appease the fire they themselves started.

since i doubt this is a metanarrative, i find this pretty ironic. in fact, it's probably ironic even if intended as a meta 'discourse'.

[Blake]

now the media realizes the repercussions of inciting "race wars". you won't hear this in the national news. the executive order has been issued to silence any of these "incidents" for the foreseable future

lol Fox News disregarding the executive order.

the plan is slowly coming into fruition....

[FuzzyLumpkins]

excuse me: a ing idiot. my skills as a ing idiot might erode.

And you get mad at me for treating him as I do.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'm with Che on this one. They ed up with the treatment of the Travon incident. Cat's out of the bag and going to be hard to put back in. Probably why Zimmerman needs to hang regardless of whether he was within the boundaries of the law in shooting Martin. Of course, if he is found guilty, the over the top celebration by the black community will certainly egg on some racist whites to retaliate.

I really do not know where to begin on this gem.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.

According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.

Thats from the local news link above. Does sound pretty ugly but consdiering its Mobile, AL I somehow doubt the 'boys who dun this' are going to get away with it.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm going to assume Owens isn't a saint, but it doesn't look like he did anything to deserve this.

[Blake]

I'm going to assume Owens isn't a saint, but it doesn't look like he did anything to deserve this.

I'm going to bet this really wasn't a mob composed of Black men, women and children looking to avenge Trayvon.

[cantthinkofanything]

I'm going to assume Owens isn't a saint, but it doesn't look like he did anything to deserve this.

maybe you didn't read the story. It's for Travon.
