thetragichippy Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Ferguson-like attack in Utah escapes media notice; race bias seen http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/25/critics-see-racial-double-standard-in-coverage-of-/ If someone wants to analyze cop shootings, they would find white cops kill more of other races than black. I put out the numbers in other threads and no one wants to debate the stats. It would be a pretty boring media story since cop killing represent such a small percent of gun related homicides.

CraigS Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 I can't agree with your logic, Craig. If I find a man, no matter what color, that raped & disfigured my child, I will most certainly take his life. There is not a jury in the world that will convict me of 1st degree murder, nor should they. Taking a life cannot be put into one big happy melting pot called "murder". My final judgement will come to me when I die. He (the guy upstairs) will judge me, and I will have to answer for it then. Until then, we as a society have to have some sort of scale. I'm not saying that our current scale is correct, but we surely can't call all crimes that end in death murder. Yet I didn't - because I was taught BETTER than that. Some may not have agreed with how I DID handle it...but MURDER is NOT the answer, regardless of whether you THINK it is justified or not! Quote
