Black man shoots unarmed Hispanic - where is Al Sharpton?

[smyrna]

Are conservatives protesting and demanding an immediate arrest?

Has anyone heard about any groups putting a bounty on the driver's head?

Nope!

Caller: Welcome to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton Civil Rights Hotline.

Press 1 if you are African American, Hang up if you are not.

Press 1 if you are reporting a murder or rape of an African American. Hang up if you are not. If you are reporting a murder or rape of an African American by another African American, hang up, we do not care.

Press 1 if you are sure the murder or rape of an African American was done by a White, a White Hispanic, a Hispanic, or Asain, if not, hang up.

Press 1 to report the murder or rape to the New Black Panthers hotline on racial violence.

Press 1 to contribute to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Black Panthers bounty on the suspected rapist or murderer. Guilt or innocence are not important.

Wait for either Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to accept your call.

Thank you,

[Samm]

Is that you Al?

No... unlike Al, I am colorblind.

I'm not sure why the original post says the deceased was "unarmed". Apparently, it there was not a pipe or bat, he did aggress on the driver with his fist. And how is someone, who, the only time he has encountered a person while in his car coming out of Taco Bell, supposed to know that person is of limited mental capacity?

I'm afraid I'm not seeing the need for Jackson, Sharpton, or any of the like. Looks like the driver in this case had a reason to feel threatened.

It says "unarmed" because there has been no confirmation that a weapon of any kind has been found. I don't know about you, but if some "crazy guy" is shaking his fists at me from outside my car, I am going to drive away, not shoot him. How much threat is a guy shaking his fists outside of your car to anybody?

The point is not that there is a need for Jackson or Sharpton to get involved here, as much as there was no need for them to get involved in the Florida case. But if they were going to get involved there (which most certainly is their right) then to be consistent, they should have been involved here.

This is very sad, violence like this is a sad reflection upon the state of our society. Is life this cheap?

That altercation isn't anything like the M/Z case, but you just knew someone was going to look and look until they found some random case where the races matched up.

But ok, I'll play. Why aren't Fox News and Right-wing bloggers/talkers there cheerleading the black shooter and his right to self-defense and stand-his-ground? Nowhere.

he has every right to self defense and stand his ground. especially if the attacker had a bat case closed.
