How to Spot a Racist Prick
November 7th 2008 15:51
I came across this article by way of this link.
The title of the article is: "4 Marines Charged in Murder of Sergeant, Wife"
The title on the link to the article is: "4 Black Marines Executed Their Interracial Sergeant & Wife"
Erhem, so that isn't implying race had something to do with it? Or did you just bring it as a conversation piece? Or where you subtly implying that racism was involved and the 'MSM media' is too 'afraid' to 'speak the truth'.
Well lets look into the article itself,
Race was a motivation? Racism? A hate crime? No where in the article does it ascertain it had anything to do with race.
The person who submitted the link to digg had this to say:
I don't think the terrible 'mainstream media' is 'covering up the details of this story', race is not exactly a relevant 'detail' until its proven to be a relevant detail. Do you really think the terrible 'mainstream media' would say 'hey these crimes were hate crimes by black men on a white guy!' only to later catch themselves out in the open when the investigation concludes race had nothing to do with it?
You sure are grasping at straws 'they're black therefore it was a hate crime! OMG, finally an excuse to be racist again!' In your defense you will say something about being 'respectful', quite the statement for someone who liberally draws concrete conclusions from circumstance.

Well lets look into the article itself,
The couple's home was ransacked and jewelry and other items were taken. A fire was set, apparently in an effort to destroy evidence. The Camp Pendleton-based Marine sergeant and his wife were tortured before they were shot execution-style, according to a published report.

Please be respectful.
Most the mainstream media is covering up the details of this story, which is bias and negligent journalism.
The people deserve to know the facts, thanks to Digg this is possible.

although the article links to another article for more detail that kind of implies the mothers of the murdered couples may have thought race was a factor
The bride wore her favorite white Converse sneakers, and she was still in the process of writing thank-you cards when she was killed.
Really Long Link
it doesnt really conclusively state what the motive was but (sloppy journalism in my opinion) it just mashes a whole pile of random detail together . . . like was the fact that the husband was a Polish immigrant relevant or just thrown in to paint him as hardworking?
i really dont understand why they stated what kind of shoes she was wearing . . .
