Oh really? Then why don't you read the police report and point out exactly where either one of them said it was politically motivated? You stop to think that maybe the police officer retracted his statement because he jumped the gun? Of course you didn't.The couple who were attacked said it was politically motivated and the attackers even said so, the police information officer said so before retracting his statement.
There are a lot of ATM machines with surveilance cameras in the area and we should see the perps indentified and arrested soon, especially if the live locally.
If you think the NO police department is free of politics then you're more gullible than I previously thought.
Wait a damn minute, so the perps who in your own words have yet to be caught, said that it was politically motivated? I suppose they tracked you down and told you this? Good job gs, keep up the good work

Funny, the police report says nothing about the attack being politically motivated.

Find out what kind of function they were having at the resturant and why people were protesting an event in a resturant and you have your answer.
That's too simple for a complex liberal mind to grasp.
Okay, let's set up a scenario here for you. Let's say you are in Memphis at a Pro-Life rally and a crap ton of butch ass feminists are protesting outside. The protesters disperse for the most part and you leave the restaurant wearing a Pro-Life button. Some drunk buffoons with MMA shirts from down the street start yelling at you and then kick the **** out of you. Was that in any way politically motivated?
Under the category "motive", the box that says "unknown" is checked. There is not a box to check for "political", so maybe you and LG really need to read the report! No where in the report the policeman wrote did he ask them the question,"why were you attacked?" He only asked details of the attack.
Why do we even care if this crime is politically motivated or not? Even if it were, what does that matter? Are we going to use this to paint republicans as victims and democrats as the bad guys? Crimes happen all the time based on stupid motives
I agree completely, it doesn't matter because this doesn't serve as an indictment on liberals anymore than a few misspelled signs and idiot racists do on conservatives. The issue I had (and it is a recurring theme) is gsvol's using shoddy sources and obvious lies to support his claims (in this case, that this attack was "confirmed" to be politically motivated). Of course, when he is shown the actual evidence, he attacks it as some kind of left-wing conspiracy. It's tiring.
Here are my thoughts on the subject. The fact that these two were attacked after a republican function that was protested to some extent makes it entirely possible, even likely that the attacks were politically motivated. What makes all the arguing here petty in my opinion is the fact that when something like this happens and is attributed to politics it is blown out of proportion. The people who perpetrate attacks like those we've seen recently are just fringe nuts who do not represent the movement or party as a whole. As usual though the opposing party seizes on them to paint themselves the victim and the other side a danger and threat. The sooner we realize this the better off we all will be.
