    except answering the question were they charged is not "backing up my ". It's answering a question that a poster was too damn lazy to look up themselves
    Well, were no one charged or even sought for the crime, there would be more cause for outrage.

    *I'm* too lazy.

    Your thread.

    You ask where is the outrage, but won't give us enough information to determine if some injustice has been done.

    So I can only assume they were all charged, arrested, at trial, as one would expect.

    That means we should, as a nation, be a lot less concerned.

    Since there is no real cause to be outraged, other than what we should always assign to acts of violence, the entire implicaiton of the thread:

    Treyvon's death is not worth any more outrage than these acts that were handled locally, is stupid.

    Do you always make really weak arguments, or just this once?

    Includes: Appeal to Ignorance ("Ad Ignorantiam")

    Description of Burden of Proof
    Burden of Proof is a fallacy in which the burden of proof is placed on the wrong side. Another version occurs when a lack of evidence for side A is taken to be evidence for side B in cases in which the burden of proof actually rests on side B. A common name for this is an Appeal to Ignorance. This sort of reasoning typically has the following form:


    Claim X is presented by side A and the burden of proof actually rests on side B.
    Side B claims that X is false because there is no proof for X.

    In many situations, one side has the burden of proof resting on it. This side is obligated to provide evidence for its position. The claim of the other side, the one that does not bear the burden of proof, is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise.

    Well, if it undermines your argument, I can see why you wouldn't want to make those keystrokes.

    ... making your refusal to do it, in support of your own argument, stupid.

    The self-pwnage of the OP continues.

    There is no need for national outrage because of the videos in the OP.

    So,

    1) Not a hate crime.

    2) Perpetrators sought and one arrested so far.

    3) National media attention.

    che is 0-3.
