Owens’ sister, Ashley Parker, told WKRG she witnessed the attack and that there were as many as 20 assailants. Parker said she overheard one of them say, “Now that’s justice for Trayvon.”
Seems to be the case…time and again. Now, I’m NOT a proponent of ‘hate crime’ (crime is crime, regardless of color), but if it is to be, it does seem reasonable to apply it to ALL offenders when applicable.
Sounds like a gross disparity of force situation. I would think that the victim was justified in whipping out his piece and blazing away. 20 beaters could definitely kill a person. No?
The result was grave bodily harm and they could have easily killed him. If I saw them coming like that, I’d haul ass. If that didn’t work, I’d warn them, then start shooting if they continued to advance.
No warning… they knew exactly what they were doing… If I couldn’t flee… they get no chance to flee either… they’d all be winners in my book… right from the beginning… multiple times
The very idea of a ‘hate crime’ is so sickeningly Orwellian I can’t believe this is being discussed.
Thoughtcrime is what they should be called.
It’s already illegal to commit assault and battery. It’s already illegal to murder. Absent extenuating or mitigating circumstances (i.e. self-defense), who gives a rat’s ass WHY you kicked someone’s ass or killed them? They’re just as dead. Did you kill them, yes or no? was it intentional, yes or no? Penalizing the thought that went before is utterly disgusting, and shows clearly what kind of a society the left is molding us into. Some animals are more equal than others.
ETA: Right now scientists can tell in a PET scanner when you are thinking about lying when they ask you a question. “Hate Crimes” are a huge step toward being penalized for your thoughts, if the system thinks they are unorthodox. And with our court system the way it is, I am quite certain that placing you in a machine and asking you questions, so long as you were not required to physically answer, would not be found to violate your Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.
This technology is Stone Age compared to what it’s going to be. Keep on voting for them, sheep.
excellent post… I’ve always been a firm believer in the old geek saying “its not science fiction, its science prediction…”
every single thing ever presented in movies, novels, and stories from the past… has come true… we’ve landed on the moon… we have been to the bottom of the sea in submarines… we have hand held communicators… we have MRI scanners that can see inside the human body… I would almost guarantee anything we’ve ever seen in movies today that we’ve all laughed at as outlandish impossibilities… will at some point in time come true… time travel, teleportation, telepathy, warp speed, flying cars, bio-mechanical implants, brain transplants, and yes… even the reanimation of dead flesh… all of it will happen in time… mark my words…
technology expands at a geometric rate… meaning when we develop something outstanding, we use that new found tool to create the next, and so on and so on… using each new technology to create the next… jumping orders of magnitude in mere months
it almost seems counter-intuitive that with today’s technology, we can make 12-core processors, which with hyper threading essentially double and become 24 cores, and therefore are 24 times faster, using 1/24th the power of a standard processor… the more cores you get the faster it thinks and the less power it uses… its mind boggling to think about where we’ll be in 20 years… considering where we were only 20 years ago…
I mean I am literally talking to you all right now, on what essentially started as clumps of dirt…fuck Fred Flintstone… I am talking to you on a dirt phone
minority report wasn’t fiction, it was a prediction…
well that is… unless Obama and his cronies flip the switch and flush us all to hell
Move along citizens, nothing to see here. Dont get distracted from the real evil! The white-mexicans are on the prowl, waiting to shoot your kids on the street! Vote democrat!
I dont believe in “hate crimes”. A crime is a crime, regardless of your motive.
Clearly you do not understand the hierarchy of victimhood and minority status. Let me enlighten you as each class of minority has its own “power factor”:
Least powerful are the Asians (including Indians from India - not our home grown hobo’s). They are basically viewed as whites since they seem to do well in every environment; simply add water. Being Asian does not get you into med or law school as the most common last names in any graduate or professional program is Nguyen and Patel. They are expected to do well in all endeavors and failure to win a national spelling bee by age 10 is cause for excommunication. Hell, even the few that enjoy basketball are making headlines in the NBA.
Second least oppressed are womyn. They had their day with the feminist revolution. Now its time to move their fat ankles over for some real victims.
Next in line is the Hispanics - but only if you don’t speak English. Otherwise, you will get labeled as a “white-Hispanic” and enjoy none of the comforts of victimhood.
Second most powerful are the blacks. Their oppression is enshrined in American institutions such as affirmative action. So powerful is their victimhood that being only half black confers full benefits.
Most powerful are the gays and transgendered. This is the only way that a white man (i.e. shemale) can get “ahead.”
so if one happened to be a half Asian, half Native American male who recently underwent gender transformation surgery to become a black female… that individual would practically be immune to any legal action whatsoever, up to and including obeying stop lights…
and thus any act conveyed upon said individual, including farting in their general direction, blank stares, glares, and all other sorts of tom foolery is to be enforced as a hate crime
The job paid less than 20k a year, had no benefits, and the city had not paid their retirees in over 6 years because they were destitute. A real shit hole… it had even been joked about that I would see more combat on the streets of Prichard than our troops in Afghanistan…
it doesn’t surprise me that an attack like this happened, as anyone that has lived in or driven through Mobile can attest too…
I believe in less than 2-3 months I had heard of a preacher who chopped up his wife and kept her in the freezer, a man that physically gouged out the eyes of his uncle with a spoon and threw them in the trash, and a City Commissioner who killed a hooker… all in Mobile
flat out disgusting town… kinda reminds me of Camden, NJ… where I personally witnessed a man get stabbed in the face while sitting at a stop light… for no discernible reason… just straight up shanked in the grill
the US is going down the shitter… and the so called “minorities” are driving the boat…
