Arbery's murder invokes outrage, marches, and demands for justice....meanwhile....another politically inconvenient life is taken and shoulders are shrugged...

Because murder is only deemed newsworthy if people can use it to push their racist agendas. The media wants blood, hate, conflict, race war, chaos division, etc. Sadly, the murder of an innocent kid by someone of the same race doesn't do anything to promote hatred between races, so the media doesn't care. Even more sad is that people don't care since they can't use the story to justify their prejudices. I would think finding the killer of this child would be a higher priority than justice being served in the other case. In the other case, we have to depend on the justice system to do its job. Here they have no one in custody so the public can come forward etc. to help find the suspect, but, since it can't be used as propaganda for racists to use to sow division, it will get little attention and have less of a chance to find the killer. It's sad. Identity politics are brainwashing people to focus more on the outcome of a case before it has even happened than they do on bringing a child killer into custody. Manipulation, brainwashing, and lack of thinking for one's self is once again the theme of the day.

Is black on black crime racist? No. Is white on white crime racist? No. Is black on white or white on black crime racist? Maybe or maybe not. Can people react to murders without you crying about their motivations and mindsets? Apparently not.

Just like the kid the cop shot that "wasn't doing anything wrong" then video comes out of him robbing a store.

These guys just drove up on a "jogger" and decided to shoot him and then video of him robbing people comes out.

The father and son should've called the police and deserve whatever they get but people knee-jerking with their reactions is laughable these days. Never waste a situation that you can throw the race card out.


With that said it doesn't matter what race does to another race. Nobody in here can dispute the media ignoring what goes on in Chicago daily.

Perhaps because one killing was caught on video and the cops/prosecutor were going to simply turn a blind eye to it?

Specifically I'd say mostly this though generally I think in this time of "clickbait" news manufacturing some outrage wherever possible has simply become good business.

Black on black crime exists, thus its unacceptable to cover a story of white on black crime that was going to be swept under the rug if it wasnโ€™t for the dumbass releasing the video. Thatโ€™s the gist of the arguments in the two threads.

But isn't it, race becomes the driven storyline from the media, all the time.

Doesn't matter if warranted or not, real or not, manufactured or not, and then if and when there are real situations of real racism or prejudice, it gets demeaned by the constant pushing of something that usually is not, rather, than being real and there and present in true form of racism or prejudice.

I don't want to compare this, or any other situations, just stating the national media likes to push the story immediately and full bore and present it as fact before facts are known.

Story coming out should be:
2 men followed another man in a neighborhood.
2 white men, the other man black. (Some will say this shouldn't be put in, but, it's just a fact of the story.)
Felt he was "out of place".
2 men saw, or witnessed, or did x, y, z.
2 men call police.
The 2 men were deciding to willingly to go follow this man, or not..?.
2 men decide to follow the other man.
The 2 men armed themselves.
The 2 armed men then left their property and followed the other man.
The 2 armed men confronted the other man and a scuffle/fight ensued.
Subsequently, the lone man was killed.
Police are investigating and gathering facts of the killing.

If I go read and watch a couple hundred of the first reports coming out on this, what are the chances the news delivered followed script above, leaving out all the crap that seemingly finds it's way into the cracks and crevaces of the lines and sentences above........

2 white men followed an African American in a predominantly white neighborhood.
These 2 white men felt this African American was out place and looked suspicious and up to no good.
The 2 men immediately decided to arm themselves and follow the African American.
They left their property and began to follow and try to gain ground on him.
Once caught up, they confronted the African American and began to physically and verbally escalate the situation before shooting the African American and killing him.
Police are investigating and gathering facts of the incident.

We reached out to the local District Attorney Jones to ask if hate laws and racial killings would be looked into.....

That's what we get.

Either way, not trying get into anything other than how bad the media and news reporting is.

2 white guys chase and kill a black guy in GA and are not even charged for 2 months will always raise questions. That will always make the news once found out

In your scenario they had 2 months

The other was a confrontation with an officer and the complete story was not immediately known. Some people are always going to rush to take sides but most didn't. They aren't similar situations

Like I said, I don't want to comment on anything other than just the reporting. I won't disagree with anything about this case or any other's. Just the delivery of the stories. These are all avoidable situations involving people who made decisions that turned out bad for all parties.

Understand, not trying get into any of the cases, just the manner of delivering the stories. This case is like any and all others, avoidable with people making dumb decisions in situations that escalated and ended badly for all involved.

Why did it take 2 months, another story about the story, I'm not commenting on anything other than once a story gets national attention and traction, the out of the gate response and portrayal represented and given by the media to the viewing/listening public, isn't just delivering facts and information, it carries opinion and innuendo and bad or incomplete facts or purposely left out information.

This case, any other case, same almost immediate reaction from the media once they latch onto it if they can get the angle they want.

This case is terrible. Silly dumb people doing silly dumb things with life and death consequences. Life.

Yep this kind of story happens weekly in the US. If Arbery had been white you never wouldโ€™ve even known the incident happened unless you were local

That case has some pretty strong racial overtones that are hard not to see. I don't know whether its true, but the optics are pretty bad.
