    White man beaten to death with hammers in St Louis. It will be interesting to see the "outrage" when it comes out that his murderers were black. Will reverend All make any speeches? Will white folks burn the city to the ground? Will anyone care?

    Glad to see we are taking this as seriously as a black man being killed by a white man.

    I didn't burn anything down over the black kid being killed and I'm not going to burn anything down over this.

    But you are free to do what you want.

    Victim was Bosnian Muslim.

    That shouldn't matter in this tragedy but since MM is determined to make this about race I thought I would throw that out there.

    From the MSN article (link:

    About 50 people briefly blocked an intersection Sunday night to protest the killing of Begic, who moved to St. Louis this year.


    Me: It will be interesting to see where this goes. I remember Reginald Denny as much as I remember Rodney King, but that's because I happened to be watching the live feed when it happened.


    Does this mean white people care less about people of their own "color" being killed? Will MM be protesting, or is he just playing devils advocate?

    Just hours after a man was viciously beaten in a fatal hammer attack on a south St. Louis street, members of the Bosnian community staged their own protest by blocking a nearby intersection in an angry demonstration reminiscent of nearby Ferguson, Mo.

    That was an interesting comment to make (not by you) considering it came right after he was joking about how serious others were taking this.

    Plus, the guy doesn't have blond hair, and was Muslim, so no, Hitler wouldn't be proud. Unless that's what you meant and were just being sarcastic about it (i.e., Hitler would be OK with his death, because blah blah blah).

    Thanks for supporting MM's view. The article deliberately does not mention the attackers' race, provides no motive for murder, and yet declares race was not an issue in the murder.

    Also comparing the small, peaceful protest of 50 neighbors to a nationally-organized slander, arson, shooting and looting spree that brought racially- motivated violence of frightening proportions to over 50 major cities costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and ruined the financial survival of hundreds of people is not only absurd but hateful in itself.

    There is nothing preventing you from organizing slander, arson, shooting and looting in beautiful central Oregon.

    Memories! I recall dealing with a guy from Bosnia, Dusan Esomovic. I thought several times that I would like to hammer the lying SOB. But it never occurred to me at the time, he was just practicing the Muslim way.

    Serious question: if a "lefty" had started a thread about this incident, but spun it as "Christians kill Muslim", what would your response have been?

    Odd bit of historical trivia. At one point, Himmler created an SS unit composed of Turks and Bosnians. Finding enthusiastic minions to carry out the "final solution" trumped Aryan racial purity.

    Logical thought and devotion to an agenda are not compatible.

    Should we define the victim in this case by his skin tone, or his religion? Why does it matter?

    I'm gonna have to agree with MM here. You were dead serious about the racial killing, but joking in this thread. Why?

    I'm against killing and I'm against protesters damaging property.

    I kid around in many threads, if I miss one now and then I apologize.
