Sympathy for white Austin bomber stirs debate about race

[cawacko]

Yes, there were quotes from neighbors and family members about what a great kid he was, so nice and quiet, what a nice family and so sad this happened to them, how tragic for them, poor mentally-ill young man too bad no one saw the signs, etc. Exact same thing we hear following any mass murder committed by a white perp, particularly those using guns.

But do you think neighbors, or especially friends, want to say "I totally knew this person was crazy but we enabled it or did nothing about it". No way they would, at least friends i'd think, because that reflects poorly on them.

People are very quick to forget that fact. But just don't tell that to the left. They think Muslims are here to bring diversity, love and peace.

How many people have non-Muslims ever killed in four hours?

I've actually heard ppl say that in retrospect, on news reports, after a heinous crime is committed. So yeah, I don't think that's a valid excuse.

Are you taking a "fairness" stance regarding muslims doing some killing?

Just what we need, another thread where the liberal Democrats beat up on whitey.

I'm taking a stand against sweeping generalizations like volsrock uses.

Is the argument that white privilege entails your neighbors or friends saying they are shocked by your actions and say black, Hispanic Asian family members or friends wouldn't say the same if one of their own ethnicity committed the same act?

...by posting things that don't apply to what another poster said? How stupid is that?

How stupid is it to make an unsubstantiated comment about Muslims just because he's a bigot?

When I posted articles about Muslims being killed by the Buddhists in Myanmar, people like volsrock replied with comments that the only good Muslim is a dead one.

Could it be that you agree with them?

It looks like he just pointed out that muslims killed a lot of people in a short period of time. Do you always have a comprehension problem?

The comment was hate bait. I have a problem with posts like that which aren't backed with a citation.

Btw you didn't respond to my question. You remind me of a former poster who always did the same.

And most everyone else has a problem with you lying by making crap up and interpreting something that others said and ignorantly claiming they said something that they didn't say. I guess that other poster that said you are the biggest hypocrite and liar in this group was totally correct.

Disgusting. No one wants to call him what he is, a terrorist.

he's a terrorist......climb back in your hole.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I don't know if anybody said those exact words, "feel sorry for him." But to say his crimes were "the outcry of a very challenged young man talking about challenges in his personal life that led him to this point" comes pretty close to it, IMO.

and who said that?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Didn't he BLOW himself up .... then get Shot by the Police?

which was the sympathy, the bomb or the cop who shot him......

is it in the Guiness Book of Records?.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

He is in the most dangerous terrorist demographic in America., He is a white power bigot. They have killed more people in America than those scary, scary Muslims.

you realize we know you are lying, right?.....

What's the lie? Be specific.
