A white guy shoots a black guy, riots and all hell breaks loose. A white guy shoots 20: 5& 6 year old?

Children and 6 Teachers, No riots. Holden the Attorney General talking like a preacher on TV.

News coverage from hell.

" Why didn't blacks riot when these 20 children got shot ? "

Update:

Neil: It's not a justice-system thing, It's a black people thing. If those 20 children would have been black, the United States would have been one big bon fire.

Update 2:

Good point Andrew S

There is a difference between "demonstrating" and riots.

Update 5:

OK, Bad comparison. I wish I would have never tried to ask a question. I'm just pissed off right now. i'm confined to this room and I can't even watch the news. I get really aggravated when I see the United States Attorney General stirring up racial issues as though he was a preacher blaring out slurs like racial profiling when there is really no proof of it. I do not know George Zimmerman personally. I do not know if he is a raciest or not. Do you ? Does anybody ?

"__ No Neil_ " , I do not hate black people, and i'm sorry it came out like that. Click on my profile, never once in the past 6or7 years did I ever mention it was a " BLACK GIRL " with a mental condition that hit me. I could have sued the young man that was with her at the time (acting care taker ) but I never wanted too. I've never mentioned she was black because it just has never seemed relevant.

Am I scared ? Hell no, i'm dying from dementia, when a man has nothing left to loo

Update 6:

loose, nothing scares him.

I find myself caught up in the winds of racism, and I don't like it at all.

    Are whites not capable of ''demonstrating'' themselves? Why should the blacks do it for them. If whites wanna demonstrate, nobody is stopping them. Also..this is about not getting any justice. The man that shot those kids committed suicide. If he hadn't, he would have surely been locked up or executed. I'm white. If I don't march and demonstrate, I don't blame others...After all, they're not stopping me. Just for the record, whites do demonstrate for their causes too. I wish people in this country could all come together, and stand up ''together'' for justice for ALL of our children/teens/young adults etc... I mean people of all races standing up for what we believe in ''together''.

    It's not black or white it is our government fault. We have had many presidents since JFK this is a problem that should have gone away a long time ago. I thought I was the only one who noticed that Holder was acting like a minister I did not like it at all. Someone mention the killing of the white baby by a black teen. I am still pissed off about this I can only imagine how helpless the mother must have felt.If I could I would kill him my self.What about the good GUY Michael Peterson the white guy who broke his neck and died saving a four y ear old black girl from drowning , See some black people care about all people. The problem with this case it was just wrong from the beginning.More people will die because of this not by my hands just watch the news.

    If the white guy who killed the kids didn't commit suicide and was arrested and went to trial. I guarantee if he was found not guilty and set free there would have been protestors all over the country. Also, I am a mother to three teen sons, this type of things happen everyday. Black parents just want to make sure this doesn't happen to our teen sons. I don't know if you have ever been profiled before but as you can see racial profiling is still going on in this country.

  • Why didn't black people riot when a black guy shot a white baby in a baby carriage? The moral of the Zimmerman/Martin case is clear to me. No one, (black or white) should expect to unleash on someone else without the possibility of being shot and even killed.

    What a bl**dy idiot. If you can't see the difference between the legal but immoral shooting of an innocent kid by a racist redneck and the totally illegal shooting of 20 kids by a complete and utter mad kid, then you should be back at school.

    Where is all this indignation when a black man shoots another black man or a black kind shoots another black kid?

    It is blacks trying to keep racism alive so that they have an excuse for their poor judgment. It's not their fault, it's because they are black.

    Think about it!

    Did they arrest the white-guy shooting kids?

    It's not about 'what' happened, it's about how the 'justice-system' reacted.

    All these 'examples' aren't relevant, because the police was on those killers, where they made it perfectly clear they didn't want to prosecute Zimmerman to begin with, they weren't even gonna look into a deadly shooting in the city-limits(which is actually required by law, but the police couldn't be bothered).

    EDIT- So it's not a question, you're just bashing black-people with this veiled accusation.

    Why.... do you hate black-people in general, or are you scared?

    41 And why seest thou a mote in thy brother’s eye, and considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, cast out the beam out of thine own eye first, and then shalt thou see perfectly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
