Timeh Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I see the suspect is black so I assume this will be treated as racist. White lives matter ! I excel in stupid but this post is so daft even i cant get my head around it. ---------- Post added 26-08-2015 at 19:13 ---------- Seen the report and its graphic. I also get the posters racial angle although i think martin6 could have worded it better. ---------- Post added 26-08-2015 at 19:15 ---------- Another shooting in America...seems to be a common occurrence. What's disgusting me particularly (as well as the shooting) is that I had the option of viewing the video footage through Facebook and a well-known newspaper online article. There's something unsettling about the ease of watching 2 people getting gunned down like it was any other video you could view on Youtube. It seems like we are living in a time where everything we do is captured on video. 21st century problem mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clip I saw didn't show them being shot, only the gunman waving the gun around for a few seconds, up to the point it showed on tv and the reporter running into a building.

I've not watched the video. I find it disrespectful personally. But when the title of the video is 'US. Reporter & Cameraman Get Shot' I assume it's a video of them being injured/screaming etc. Sadly the times we are living in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin6 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 When it's the other way round police automatically assume it's racist even before questioning the suspect. I got in there first and assumed for them. By all means bury your head in the sand and deny this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wasn't, it was the few seconds before just showing a hand with a gun while she was talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think you're wrong, the gunman shot his victims because of a previous altercation between them, not because of her colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bbc said that the women had once made a racist comment to the gun man. So he killed her and some others. Nice. The guy most be unbalanced, but the colour aspect is just an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a black person commits a crime against a white person and indeed a white person commits a crime against a black person does not make it racist it could be robbery...etc in this case the killer was an ex worker aggreived with the people he killed. personally i havent seen the "racist" bits in the news bits ive read, just that the cameraman reported him previously, and obviously he lost his job, being an "ex" employee. It ties in with what ive always thought about gun control / lack off in america, a lot of these crimes are purely people who are angry with somebody , something, some place and its far far far too easy to get a gun and kill as many people as you want.

WiseOwl182 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why would you assume that? Are you an idiot? Presumably because if it was the other way round, it would be assumed to be racially motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
