Its sad.

Why do you guys have to make everything about race?

Pot, meet kettle. Not cool is it? But it’s what comes from you 24/7. You may not realize it, but you make everything about race and you call everyone on this board that disagrees with you a racist (in one way or another, directly or indirectly). To me, this was most likely a deranged individual, yet could have a racial element to it considering the environment we are living in, putting up with, right now. We are so inundated with how awful white people are by the media, by Dem politicians, by BLM. You think this doesn’t push someone to the edge?

Isn't that what every single one of you say when any story about racism comes up? Lets hold the same standards now.

It was trending on Twitter. It was on multiple news sites. Most child murders by neighbors aren't national stories. Why are yall crying about lack of coverage? Also if you are outraged organize a mass protest around the cause. I'm sure that would be covered.


Its hilarious that the "why make everything about race" " something isn't race related without a million pieces of evidence" crowd cry to now about " why are we not making this about race?"

Why else did the MSM pick up the story?

It's a direct reaction to the treatment that we get and the unequal standards that are applied to us. I was starting to worry about you I was expecting you to make your appearance sooner

There is no double standard.

There is also the long history of whites attacking and or murdering black people for racist reasons. The opposite is not true. There is also no audio or video and it wasn't a cop that did it.

Most neighbors killing a kid in the neighborhood don't go national. Sorry that is just the truth. That is a local story.

Got it.

Executing a 5 year old at point blank range isn’t newsworthy.

This has been covered everywhere by now, including the point that the killer was immediately held accountable. Not sure what the gripe would be at this point

Do you guys really see no difference between a state actor, sworn to protect and serve the public, intentionally killing a member of the public and some rando walking up to a kid and killing him.

You also got to realize, for better or worse, video footage of the incident, which apparently doesn't exist here, makes it more likely to be played up in the news.

I agree with you somewhat on this one. Being a police office and having it on video is huge. However, there’s no doubt that had a similar police incident been captured on video with the victim being white then there wouldn’t be all of the media coverage and outrage. It’s just reality. We need to stop blowing up every time a person of one race kills a person of another race. There certainly are some racial issues in the country but things are nothing like they used to be and the MSM does nothing but try to turn a few embers into a full on forest fire.

Same could be said, to some degree, for Derek Chauvin. He was arrested and charged. Yet protests and riots continued for weeks. I understand the protests were in response to incidents such as this in totality, however all of these incidents are very different from each other in their dynamic and what actually happened.

Michael Brown incident is far different from Walter Scott, yet I see people say they are the same because a white cop shot and killed an unarmed black man. They’re not. The officer in Ferguson was fighting for his life. Just because a man is unarmed doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to kill you. The officer in Charleston SC that shot Scott now sits in prison, as he should. Why? Because the facts of the cases are very, very different. Each case is. And if you’re a lawyer, you should at least understand that. Yet people march around with protest signs with the names of these men in bold print as if each case was only a matter of a white cop just felt like shooting an unarmed black man.

It's been mentioned online a lot of places. It isn't receiving near 24/7 coverage, leading Don Lemon, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Rachel Maddow's shows, etc.

I'm not surprised it was eventually picked up by CNN - I mean, they just have an article on their website about it. It wasn't given a huge feature on their homepage, nor should it be. The article is brief and doesn't mention any racial differences. Nor should it, but you know if the races were reversed it would. If the races were reversed, I can't help but think this would be a wall-to-wall story that would be widely known, drive the news cycle for weeks, and lead to wider, philosophical conversations about race in America.

Clearly all those uber-talented white people in the Trump administration--i.e., Betsy DeVos, Jared Kushner, Rick Perry--had for years been held back by the reverse discrimination of affirmative action. Glad to see their genius is finally getting a chance to shine in Trump's meritocracy.

Stories only achieve "escape velocity" if they fit the narrative.

George Floyd fit the narrative, so it achieved escape velocity from local news and went global. Tony Timpa did not, so it was only covered by Dallas local news. Both were newsworthy in a way, but national media deemed Floyd's death as more newsworthy because a racial angle could be inserted into the coverage.

To which most Dems say, “Who is Tony Timpa?”

Is this a photoshop, or did someone actually post that? I'm not sure even as a prank how someone could be so........ there is no word to describe.

I would hope that’s fake or photoshopped. If not, it’s just another case of those on the far left being completely callous and unhinged.

You people throw the term "racist" around with such carelessness that it's really lost its meaning. I'd say discriminated against would be the better term. And it's not only White's. Asians and Indians are discriminated against in the academic world. The fact that many universities have lower admission standards for black students than white, Asian or Indian students seems like a form of racism to me.

That’s exactly it. I was waiting to see if EL took the bait. In some ways this was crazier than Floyd because Timpa was the one actually called the cops! Had the local press not kept on this it would’ve been buried. Even the minor charges against the officers were dismissed. This has every problem that we hear Dems and MSM complain about in other instances with POC but not a word from the usual suspects. Where’s Lemon on this one?

To be fair, I had no idea who Tony Timpa was either until Coleman Hughes mentioned him in a podcast he was doing. However, I guarantee you everybody in the United States would know who Tony Timpa was if he was black, just how you know who Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, et al are.

I know it's hard for you not to become confused when you've got that corn maze thought pattern. I'll have to be better on assuming your participation and how comments will need to be simplified for you to be able to follow and not get lost.

lol.....You may also want to consider that a poster may occasionally join in on a thread without reading through the whole thread.
