Aussie College Baseball Playa Killed By Bored Teens In Ok Narrative

Re: Austrialian College Baseball Player Killed By Bored Teens In Oka

This is the first time I have heard anyone mention the age disparity of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin as being a factor in the increased coverage. This is one of your bigger reaches.

Dick, the Zimmerman case exploded because the race baiters made it explode. Everyone, from the prosecutor to the Martin family lawyer said that race was not a factor, but the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons saw another case to exploit to line their pockets...which they did.

And put big, sharp knives in their hands? No fucking way.

Jesse Jackson checks in. He "frowns upon" the murder and gets the victim's last name wrong.

Re: Austrialian College Baseball Player Killed By Bored Teens In Oka

Yet another disgusting, senseless, idiotic, unmotivated, pointless murder.

This stuff has nothing to do with race, regardless of the race of the attackers or the victims.

These are people with no moral compass doing whatever the hell they want. Because they can. (And I'll bet they're proud of this one).

Here's how they "selected" this victim: It was easy. They're bullies, who deserve to be treated the way they treated their victim, because of who they are, not because of what color they are.

Yes, all murders are tragic. And, I'm not saying you are "bad" at your job. That you all look at this the same way is evidence to me that the "media" is driven by "group think" far more than Dick would like to admit.

I don't think there's any reason to focus needlessly on race in news coverage. I also don't think the media should shy away from it.

Anyone with a "nose for news" know that the racial makeup of the folks involved in an incident can lead to a case receiving more attention

The Trayvon Martin case showed this. If he and Zimmerman had been the same race, the case would not have been the media sensation it became.

Going back to my youth, the Tawana Brawley case would not have been as sensational if she hadn't accused a group of white men of kidnapping and raping her, and the Bernie Goetz case would not have been the same if he had been black, or if the youths he shot had been white.

All of this is true, and indisputable. And, whether the flames of these cases are fanned by race-baiters is irrelevant.

We were told that part of why the Trayvon Martin case received so much attention was because it was "every mother's worst fear." The thought that your child would be unsafe returning from the store, and might be stalked and gunned down by a stranger, purely for the color of his skin was what made it so scary, and so shocking.

Well, in that regard, there are potential parallels between the Martin case and this one. Chris Lane was just out for a jog, and he was gunned down. He didn't do anything wrong. There wasn't even any kind of confrontation.

Reporters covering the case would surely know that the race of the killer(s), and possibly their motivation, had the potential to draw a lot of attention to this case.

And, they either were not curious enough about the race of those in custody to ask, or they were unable to get the information, or they didn't think it was worth telling their consumers.

Why?

If it was because they didn't want to fuel racist "mouth breathers" then they are attempting to manage the news, and that's a function for someone in PR, not the media.

Some idiots murdered an 88-year-old who was minding his own business. That's as disgusting as it gets.

 

Re: Austrialian College Baseball Player Killed By Bored Teens In Oka

We humanize victims every day.

I know you're trying to prove a point, but you're being silly.

 

Re: Austrialian College Baseball Player Killed By Bored Teens In Oka

More relevant than "semi pro football player" moniker they have been using
for Hernandez victim. Adds a bit of context of to story. He made it through
Battle of Okinawa but not the streets of Seattle.

 

Re: Austrialian College Baseball Player Killed By Bored Teens In Oka

It's outrageous they referred to this guy as a plumber, considering he wasn't cleaning out a shitter when he was killed.

The lack of understanding on crime reporting shown by YF far surpasses the lack of understanding I have for installing and repairing espresso machines.
