White baby thrown off 3rd story by black man - media mostly silent

[Klaus]

Actually I disagree.
Picture the media’s reaction if a white dude threw a black baby over the railing.
Oh. He must be a Trump supporter.

Even further, there would not be any discussion as to whether or not he was mentally ill. It would be assumed to be racially motivated.

Ehhhhh

I didn’t say the prayer could help the child. To me, showing some concern and empathy, and sending “thoughts and prayers” to the child and his family and friends of family is doing what we can in the moment to support them.

I pray. I believe prayer is needed. If prayer was worthless Jesus would not have instructed us to pray. I personally enjoy talking to God. I have the ability to speak, not be judged, give Him my frustrations and my praises, as well as as for intervention and even understanding.

So yes, I am praying for this child and his family. If others don't believe the way I do, no hard feelings, and no worries. If you pray, I encourage you to do so. If you don't pray, or speak insincere I'm not forcing you.

...and you can be certain that when I tell people I am praying for them, I am. I care, and I am sincere.

I think just the opposite. "Thoughts and prayers" is synonymous with saying "I will do nothing at all."

For example, you would be pissed if you dropped something in front of someone and instead of them helping you they said that they "pray for you." That applies to every other situation. It really means "I am either too lazy or do not care enough or incapable of actually doing something so instead I will pretend like I am actually doing something."

I have unfortunately seen this too many times, and I can understand what you're saying. I have said it. I have called people out on a BS line of, "I will pray about it".

but how does it help the person if a) they don't know you and b) they will never know you sent that empathy along? for someone you know I agree showing empathy is a good thing. showing empathy even for people on this forum is at least something they see and can say thank you and perhaps get something from it. but if you don't know the person even casually throwing out a "thoughts and prayers" is worthless except maybe it makes the person sending them feel better about themselves. If thats the case fine but don't judge someones character just because they don't.

Do you want to get into a Theological debate about this? I'm pretty sure you said you wanted to avoid that earlier.

along the lines of what is currently being talked about is fine as long as it does not devolve into a religious dogma discussion which it sounded like the path you wanted to go down. so far we have avoided that, once someone starts down the dogma path it goes to hell in a handbasket quick.

It is not up to me where this discussion goes and I am not trying to dictate, just expressing an opinion .

I don't look at this as anything racial at all, just a sick **** that needs to be put out of his misery but you know if the races were reversed the DemocRATS and liberal media would sure as shit make sure it was all about race and Trump and evil white people like they always do, even when alleged attacks don't even happen.
This is an awful tragic event and I pray this boy somehow recovers.

I really don't care about a person's race. I know people of many ethnic backgrounds, and we all get along. We have a good time.

I don't care if the psycho that threw this child off a building is purple, he would be no one's problem if that were my child.

If someone wants to call me a racist, bring it. I have a long list of people I don't like, and a list of reasons that go with it. Race isn't on the list.

This is unbelievable, no one can be trusted anymore!

I agree with your assessment of the media’s response, but do do you agree that this event would be no more or less tragic regardless of skin color? That was my point.

I agree with you.

i've been saying it for years. Every buys a ticket, we throw this mother ****er in a stadium, and watch him hang. We all smile and everyone makes a buck.

 

[C-Tidda]

How could you do something like this to a kid?? Throw his ass in gen pop and let the lifers handle their business.

 

[IronSnake]

Everything I've read and seen, this dude was messed up long before this instance.

His skin color means nothing, and the title of this thread is meant to do nothing more than incite diversity and racism. I get the disparity in reporting via news outlets, but compounding the issue isn't going to help.

This article/post could've been color blind, and the outrage would be just as real.

The reasoning is why the right needs to act in the same fashion when incidents like this take place. Acting rationally in respect to the irrational (democrats and lefties) only makes one person/group look foolish. You can NEVER give the benefit of the doubt to those who do not reciprocate.

Who knows what went on in the mind of the thrower but he sure as hell doesn't deserve any leeway. I still don't understand why we can not execute simpletons or those who rode the short bus. Is the murder they perpetrate any different than plain ole murder? It's like saying someone is kinda pregnant or our team almost won. I remember seeing videos of Saddam's boys tossing people off three or four story buildings. I can't imagine a child.

You know when the media, politicians etc. constantly work to frame white people in general as racist, supremacists evil etc. the need arises to point out how absurd and incorrect that assessment is. And that means talking about the races involved in black on white crime. In an unbiased world where the media is honest and white people are not constantly villainized I agree with you it should not be necessary and harmful for relations. But the MSM, spineless political whores and globalist elite have chosen to go down the anti-white path. And I can tell you it is going to blow up in their faces.

Everywhere I look (USA, Sweden, South Africa, Germany, Britain, France etc.) I see white victims of black violence. I can post hundreds of gruesome incidents here in the recent 2 decades in multiple countries. There is white on black violence but not nearly at the same amount as black on white violence. That's the reality of the world you live in. Not the one the MSM and globalists are trying to conjure up.

If it were my child, he would be dead.

As would anyone standing between me and him.

How about y'all shut the **** up, accept that nobody gives a shit what you think about prayers, and donate to the boy's Gofundme:

No different that the NZ shooting posts or the Notre Dame fire post. SVT Performance has no problem with allowing racist posts. Sad, but true.

Isn't the "baby" 5 years old?

 

[Great Asp]

I do not like being placed in a group (identity politics) and as such I try to afford others the same.

So take out "Black", and "White" out of the story just for a minute. A guy that has anger issues and has acted crazy before at the same mall forced (by what ever means) a kid to fall 40'. Further, the kid nor the family knew the crazy guy prior to that event.

This reminds me of some of the shootings where people KNEW the crazy guy in advance (including portions of our government) and did not take action to restrain, commit, imprison, or help this person. I bet with some digging you will find this jackwagon has been let off over and over.

This is why guns should (and will) never be taken from us. Unless you want to ban 5 year old's and buildings over 6' tall after this.
