EAST CHICAGO, Ind. (CBS) — A 17-year-old Northwest Indiana boy is accused of a brutal crime against pets. Police say he hunted and killed three kittens in his neighborhood, then he posed for photos with the cats and posted them on Facebook.

Police say defenseless kittens were skewered by a 17-year-old with a bow and arrow. Lake County Indiana investigator Michelle Dvorscak showed us photos that a teen allegedly posed for and posted on Facebook, photos too gruesome to show.

“Two kittens on an arrow. One’s been shot through the head, it looks like one’s been shot through the body,” said Dvorscak.

Australian Christopher Lane was killed on Monday in Oklahoma by three teens, one of whom has said they were just “bored.” The right is complaining that the media is making nothing of the fact that two of the teens were black whereas Lane was white, as opposed to the massive alarm sounded in cases such as white (or white-ish) George Zimmerman killing black Trayvon Martin. And again the cry was heard that there is more “black-on-black” or “black-on-white” crime than “white-on-black,” and that young black men are in fact more of a problem than people like Zimmerman.

The numbers don’t lie: young black men do commit about 50% of the murders in the U.S. We don’t yet know whether the attack on Lane was racially motivated, nor can we know whether the three black boys who attacked a white boy on a Florida school bus recently would not have done the same to a black kid. (Critics took Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to task for not condemning the violence.) But hardly uncommon are cases such as the two black guys who doused a white 13-year-old with gasoline and lit him on fire, saying “You get what you deserve, white boy” (Kansas City, Mo.) or 20 black kids who beat up white Matthew Owens on his porch “for Trayvon” (Mobile, Ala.).

So, it’s just fake to pretend that the association of young black men with violence comes out of thin air. Young black men murder 14 times more than young white men. If the kinds of things I just mentioned were regularly done by whites, it’d be trumpeted as justification for being scared to death of them.

These are the "good boys" as described on "CBS news" last night.

They just want to be little gangsters, which they're just stupid punks...

So you don't think He will say This about these young gentlemen?

BREAKING: Kenan Adams-Kinard, 2nd Suspect In Beating To Death WWII Veteran, Has Been Arrested

None of the cases in this thread matter, only the Trayvon Martin case counts.

Proof:

Martin Luther King III paid tribute to his father's legacy. "Five decades ago my father stood upon this hallowed spot" and "crystallized like never before the painful pilgrimage and aching aspirations of African-Americans yearning to breathe free."

King's message was not a "lament" or a "diatribe," his son said, but a call to action - and a reminder that the work always goes on.

"The task is not done, the journey is not complete," he said. "The vision preached by my father a half-century ago was that his four little children would no longer live in a nation where they would judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

"However, sadly, the tears of Trayvon Martin's mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one's skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder with no regard for the content of one's character," he said, calling for "stand your ground" self-defense laws to be repealed in states where they have been enacted.

Media representation of inter-race conflicts is so infuriating and in fact, people's attitude towards it in general.

 

[DrLeftover]

But where was the question about why the young men of The Community are getting into so much trouble in Mr. King's speech?

All he did was point his finger at roving assholes like Zimmerman and generalize to the larger population.

I agree. Where did this go from being 'bored teens kill' to 'black people are the problem'?

 

[DrLeftover]

I didn't know it had.

All I pointed out was that Mr. King III seems to have not read a newspaper in the last six months. And that Mr. Obama has failed to say "thirty years ago...." since then about the other predators so listed.

Also, Mr. Zimmerman was referred to in somewhat unflattering terms in this thread, and the "third suspect" in the Oklahoma cases was something other than "black".

 

[Fatal Dawn]

As an honest, straightforward question: did you recognize how inflammatory the Time article comes off as? I'm reading it again and it is pretty bad. Uncle Ruckus would be proud, lol.

And again the cry was heard that there is more “black-on-black” or “black-on-white” crime than “white-on-black,” and that young black men are in fact more of a problem than people like Zimmerman.

There is more race baiting throughout. But here's another suspect excerpt:

We don’t yet know whether the attack on Lane was racially motivated,

Why would he say that when, from the beginning of the article, he stated that boredom was the reported motive?



If you're referring to the MLK III speech at the commemoration, I agree that he should not have made reference to the Trayvon case. I can see how he might be interpreted as abusing the platform.

 

[DrLeftover]

Almost everything in the media that involves any aspect of race, one way or the other, is "inflammatory" and sometimes it is actual "race baiting".

evidently I'm to the point of being very nearly desensitized to anything but the most extreme instances of it

As for the commemoration, it got worse with later speakers comparing the Supreme Court to the Klan, and so on.

Did they abuse the platform? I doubt if they, or the majority of their adoring audience saw it as such.

Which is also a shame.
