If blacks were to kill each over, would anybody in the mainstream media even notice? Oh stupid question, from Charles Blow, New York Slimes [1]:
On Sunday, there was a deadly biker gang fight and massacre in Waco, Tex. Nine people were killed, and 18 others were injured.
[…]
While those words may be accurate, they lack the pathological markings of those used to describe protesters in places like Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore. President Obama and the mayor of Baltimore were quick to use the loaded label “thugs” for the violent rioters there. That the authorities have not used that word to describe the far worse violence in Waco makes the contrast all the more glaring.
Wrong analogy Chuck. Waco does not so much compare to Ferguson and Baltimore. It compares to a typical weekend in Chicago [2]. More over seven dead gang members is not even close to the most gratuitous and senseless act of violence in Waco, the wanton slaughter of seventy-nine innocent men, women and children [3] by highly armed government jack-booted thugs.
The gang members, who happened to ride motorcycles,were polite enough to only kill each other and had enough common sense to realize that is unlikely that the People of Texas will be able to prove that a particular gang member killed anybody.
