But I digress. I'm sure your ranting and raving on a sports message board accomplishes more social change than any stupid march.

The Selma to Montgomery march was part of a series of civil-rights protests that occurred in 1965 in Alabama, a Southern state with deeply entrenched racist policies. In March of that year, in an effort to register black voters in the South, protesters marching the 54-mile route from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were confronted with deadly violence from local authorities and white vigilante groups. As the world watched, the protesters—under the protection of federalized National Guard troops—finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery. The historic march, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s participation in it, raised awareness of the difficulties faced by black voters, and the need for a national Voting Rights Act.
Six days later, on March 15, President Lyndon B. Johnson went on national television to pledge his support to the Selma protesters and to call for the passage of a new voting rights bill that he was introducing in Congress.
That August, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which guaranteed the right to vote (first awarded by the 15th Amendment) to all African Americans. Specifically, the act banned literacy tests as a requirement for voting, mandated federal oversight of voter registration in areas where tests had previously been used, and gave the U.S. attorney general the duty of challenging the use of poll taxes for state and local elections.

You misunderstood me.You can’t mock someone else for hypothetically jumping to conclusions about the attackers’ political views right after actually doing it yourself
Not mocking, merely pointing out that we know very little so far. If I gave that impression, sorry.
media didnt call him that. they were quoting an acquaintance.
also lol "executing 2 black men"... i think we can rule out the racial motivation at this point
That's an old article and I admittedly didn't read it in its entirety, but most of what I did see there is already in practice. Most, if not all, hospitals perform a "time out" prior to any invasion procedure which includes: correct patient, correct diagnosis, correct procedure, correct location, etc. And towards completion they must account for all sponges, needles, etc that might have been used. I could also list dozens of algorithms in place that guide MD and nursing practice in specific situations all based on research to maximize patient safety and clinical outcomes. But still happens.
But anyway, off topic... I'll read the rest later.
it's mass media's textbook policy. blacks are criminals. if the perps are muslim then look for ties to ISIS. if latino, check to see if gang related or undo ented.

If I had my way, instead of splitting hairs on whether we're dissecting the mental and social states of white murderers/terrorists too much, we'd instead put the same journalistic effort towards all such murderers equally.
The problem isn't only that we call brown mass murderers terrorists, it's that we don't inquire enough on the state of mental health that may have driven them to terrorism. We afford white murderers/terrorists that benefit and typically don't implicate people with similar beliefs as moral coconspirators. The media should treat domestic Islamic terrorism the same. We need to get beyond semantics.
white privilege lol coming from desert s . hopefully this dude's vest will have him ending up just like conditt.
They had better be looking up and down this guys family and friends just like they would a 24 yo "Hazid Ahmas" name. And yes, prayers for the families of terrorists who knew nothing about their son getting frustrated with their lives and deciding, on their own, to create havoc. It was not their fault. Or does the definition of terrorism mean you have to be getting orders from a radical group now? Cause this guy was probably ready made as a good recruit (males this age that are violent and frustrated), for a cause in any country that had a movement that needed bodies.
It's the same as has been.
International terrorism: Perpetrated by individuals and/or groups inspired by or associated with designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).
Domestic terrorism: Perpetrated by individuals and/or groups inspired by or associated with primarily U.S.-based movements that espouse extremist ideologies of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
Seems to me that the van that slammed into the back of Conditt's vehicle likely caused the bomb inside to detonate. I cannot image a person as cowardly as that got having the wherewithal to off himself with a bomb just because he was caught.
Don't you mean "thoughts and prayers"?
Trying to equate a cultural tendency to strap bombs to your belly to a rogue dip with a penchant for cowardly troll bombing is pathetic tbh
Homeschooled Evangelical.
Oh then he must have just been mentally unstable
where'd you go chicken ?
On March 7, 1965, hundreds of nonviolent protesters marched across the bridge as a part of an ongoing effort to secure voting rights for black Americans. That day, though, Alabama police met the protesters with violent force. Many, including Lewis, suffered serious injury.
“If it hadn’t been for that march across Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday, there would be no Barack Obama as President of the United States of America,” Lewis said during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation. don’t think as a group we had any idea that our marching feet would have such an impact 50 years later,” Lewis said Sunday.
Not far if he stays in a single wide, which I imagine is lavish for him. A little further if it's a double wide.
Hilarious
No I meant prayers.
There are no thoughts present in your post. Don't use that word.
The point is they had better be looking into his associations with family and friends just like they would a person of Semitic heritage. You can stop the charade you weird old fck... Cultural tendency... what a load of crap...
Jeez, I thought he handled this case really well until this editorializing.
Called someone using it, just never would have guessed police chief
Jeez wtf
.....
Mark Anthony Conditt*reportedly took part in a conservative outdoors club called Righteous Invasion of Truth (RIOT), in which home-schooled young people studied the Bible and were taught gun skills.
..Conditt is reported to have used to alias “Kelly Killmore” on explosive packages he sent to victims.
Former friends remembered Conditt as a “pretty normal kid” who was home-schooled by his “conservative, strictly religious” family in Pflugerville.
Conditt attended RIOT events with his younger sister, said Cassia Schultz, who was also involved in the group.
“A lot of us were very into science; we would discuss chemicals and how to mix them and which ones were dangerous,” Ms Schultz told*BuzzFeed News.
The 21-year-old added: “We were into weapons and stuff. A lot of us did role-playing, and RPG [role-playing games]; we’d have foam weapons and act out a battle.”
Ms Schultz said many young people involved in RIOT carried knives and learned to shoot firearms at gun ranges, but she did not recall bomb-making being a topic of discussion....
