Oh..but it is. You don't know a lot of blacks folks do ya? There is a racial hierarchy based on skin tone in that community.

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.

I was probably a bit unclear. My "generally" observation means literally anything in the news cycle these days. If you can manufacture some outrage it's literally better for the bottom line in clickbait world.

I'd agree that as far as this specific case is concerned at the very least the optics look bad but that's the best kind of thing to sell.

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

Amazing to know a 12 year old getting shot in the head isn't that important to some.

There are people who know who did the shooting in this case and the Dexter Ranz case but they aren't coming forward. Its OK if you don't care but at least admit that this shows black lives do not truly matter. That is now an established fact.

Why is this any less tragic than Arbery? Is evil not evil or does it depend because it sure appears the outrage is selective.

One case gets the leftists and white guilt idiots all riled up, the other is meh. Neither of those groups can use this kids death as a political statement so they ignore it.

It's not selective since the cases are just so much different. The story is the lack of prosecution/ cover up for former le

Why aren't people in the community coming forward? And its very selective since you view some murders more outrageous than others instead of viewing them all as evil.

So if a white person shot this kid AND was arrested people would still be shrugging their shoulders and saying "ehh, family just needs to get over it and get murdered by a white person if they want us compassionate people to care."

Let's make this easy for you. Who, specifically, killed the 12 year old?

It's a story because the police knew who did it yet took no action because of who did it. Has little to do with which is more "outrageous"

The disparity alleged here between the situations is not real, for many of the reasons pointed out by others.

But guys like Trump use back-on-black crime to push (often times not so subtly) the notion that blacks are more prone to crime.

Easy for me to say, but if I was part of that group I would either leave the country and go somewhere that did not make me feel second class or I'd pull a Nat Turner. The fact that so few do either one makes me think that most are more or less okay with the way things are and the histrionic overreactions we see publicized are not representative of any pervasive sentiment.

Typical defense from a liberal race baiter.

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

We have black on black killings almost daily. White on black crimes weekly? Lol, your exaggeration is way beyond belief. You should have said quarterly

Prolly wouldn't have been swept under the rug if Arbery was a white man.

This was a stupid thread the first time you tried to justify the cold blooded murder.

The one thing you can count on from these guys is that context and the application of such, isn't really in their wheelhouse.

The outrage comes from dumba$$es taking the law into their own hands, murdering someone in cold blood and then having the DA bury the charges.
