Where're the race-pimps?

Mine eyes have seen the coming of the Glory of the Lord. He is stamping out the vintage where these grapes of wrath are bored.

"A senior police commander told CBS4 investigative reporter Jim DeFede the shooting took place during a wake for 22-year-old Marvin Andre who died about two weeks ago while trying to evade police in Aventura.

According to the police commander, Andre had some connection to several South Florida gangs and some of those gang members were in attendance at his wake to pay their respects.

However, the commander said, someone at the wake touched Andre’s body in the casket in a way that other gangs took as disrespectful. This led to an argument inside the funeral home which spilled out to the street."

Well there ya go- 1) why there is exactly zero mention of any races (after all, the shooters werent White, or White/Hispanic)
2) when these folks shoot one another over stupid stuff, it's ok, it's just "cultural"

Lol. I read it completely different.

I just assumed they were black so there was no need to mention it.

Oh my... I'm bad. Autoracism? Lolol

Well, of course you'd be branded and crusified for daring to jump to any conclusions, despite well-documented, historical accuracy leading most reasonable people to that conclusion, no?

When I saw the title of the thread, I didn't think COLOR, I immediately thought GANG-RELATED. Usually when there are multiple people shot, it is a gang related or criminal act. Separate color from criminal, then it matters not, unless, the victims were not the intended targets of the shooters. As far as I'm concerned, the gangs can shoot themselves up as much as they want, as long as they kill other gangs. When ordinary people get shot, that is the real shame.

Well, here's my biggest beef with this, and the Z case in Sanford:
Not so much in recent times, but over the years-here in Jax, at least, this sort of nonsense is so common, it usually doesnt even make it into the news-at all.
UNLESS, a citizen or cop of one particular race/ethnicity is the shooter. Absolutely zero mention is made, often enough, when it's one particular group vs. another- UNLESS a child or some innocent by-stander gets hit.

"Largest mass-shooting in Flordia history"?? are you bloody kidding me? The media seems never to have stepped outdoors after 8pm on a weekend night in Springfield...if so, they'd see shootings on this scale, and even larger, on an almost hourly basis.But no one outside the immediate area, or the local E/R or police dept. would ever hear about it.
But it's usually one criminal element of one racial/ethnic make-up in particular, on both sides of the incident-sooo...
No calls of "outrage"
No declarations by our president of "my kids would look like these victims"
No Al Sharptons marching in the street making a fool of himself
No t-shirts with pictures of these "victims" being marketed
No national outcry about our State's gun laws...
etc. etc., and you get the picture.
It's NOT racist to point out a clear FACT.

j4l,

I don't understand what your issue is with this.

Unlike Trayvon Martin, the dead guy in the casket was shot by the police while he was participating in illegal activity.
Unlike the Trayvon Martin incident, the people at the funeral were obviously gansters shooting at each other. It doesn't matter what color these people are.

We get on the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world for shifting the cause of these obviously criminal related tragedies away from their failed social policies and onto the Second Amendment. People like you then turn around and wonder why they aren't there? What is it that you think they would do if they were there?
