Simbi Laveau Posted April 4, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Oh my.Well I get these alerts in my email,and I got it last night,so I assumed it was new news . I think the point they also were making ,is that the Treyvon case gets daily coverage,and this did not. And they maybe meant on air news,not newspapers on line or other wise ? I definitely have heard nothing on local news,at all.Not a peep about it.I do not get cable channels though. So comparatively speaking,its not as news worthy as other murders ? To the majority of our media ,anyway. I think that was their point. Thank you for the links.I will check them out.

Simbi Laveau Posted April 4, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) If you look at the care2 link,its dated April 2,and the headline of the article says media silence. I certainly didn't make it up.I dare say,with care2s reach,it might be why it's suddenly on the news today.I mean it did happen march 24th. If this had been a little kid in Oshkosh,holding a bad of skittles,it would have been on the news the very next day,and everywhere.

I got that link last night from care2,which I am subscribed to ,and was shocked I heard none of this. If you want to think that's why I posted it,well ok,but it isn't . The local news networks aren't going to report on every single murder that happens in the country. No it's not surprising that it wouldn't be all over every news network. Sadly people get murdered every day and as Nine Moons showed there were plenty of news stories on this issue a few days after it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wittyusernamefailed Posted April 4, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 4, 2012 So let me get this straight.... In Sudan there is still a genocidal civil war going on, Assad is still murdering his own people, Most Mideast countries still execute people if they choose the wrong religion, AL queda and it's ilk are still going strong blowing up pizza huts n **** in the attempt to kill 1 christian or jew, the list goes bloody on and on... But no!; It is America, a country where it is legal to believe and practice almost anything, where 99.99% of it's citizens are tolerant to a fault, it is this country that is the source of all hate and evil.

+and-then Posted April 5, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What happened to this lady was despicable and the FBI will spare no expense to round up the hateful trash that killed her.

Most of the hate and intolerance, probably because there is about 150 Americans posting for every Canadian. For the most part I find Canadian posters to be inteligent, thoughtful, funny, and tolerant. There are of course obvious exceptions. Not trying to troll here OP, but this clown's an ass.

odas Posted April 5, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It was in the news it just did not make on UM until now. And no, the avarage American, the vast majority, is not rasist or would comit a hate crime. There is more rasism here in Canada although the politisians believe othrwise. Crime does not dictate the headlines, it is the ratings over a period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
