Conservatives fear media will slander white race

[Enrique]

This dude sees it already: the media anti-white propaganda has started. What's his evidence? An eyewitness account where the shooter is identified as a "white male", and calls it a "hate crime".

It reminds me of the Trayvon Martin story, where conservatives were outraged that Zimmerman was described as a "white hispanic". Why not just hispanic!!! they raged. And then again, when Trayvon was described as an "unarmed black teenager". OMFG did you hear that! They called him an unarmed black teenager!

Notice USA's disclaimer about the motive. I'm not sure what more USA is supposed to do, are they supposed to spike the quote because it is unfair to white people?

Here's the offending USA Today article:

Update at 3:30 p.m. ET:

The shooter was a white male in his 30s, Ven Boba Ri, one of the temple's committee members, tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

"It's pretty much a hate crime," he tells the news organization. "It's not an insider."

The incident unfolded, Ri told the Journal-Sentinel, after the shooter walked up to a priest who was standing outside and shot him. The shooter then went inside and began firing at others, according to Ri.

Police so far have not indicated any known motive.

1. do we have a pic of the shooter ?

[Enrique]

2. no

we imo have stragely little information about this incident.

5. Since the perp is dead

They won't release squat until they inform the family. This is actually pretty standard. When somebody is arrested there is really no next of kin notification.

To add, most departments still do it, but they are far more relaxed.

6. Nothing strange - it's an incident in progress. The shooter's home hasn't been secured.

Witnesses are still being interviewed.

This isn't CSI. It takes more than an hour for investigating this sort of thing and solving the crime.

Impatience marks you as rather immature or naive. Do reconsider.

11. so now I know

I thought the lack of information was unusual, apparently it's not. What's to reconsider?

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Not yet, won't until next of kin notification

Yes, somebody lost a son, father what have you today. So kin have to be told before they tell us a name and show a photo, probably family photo.

8. Oh no! We might get treated the way we usually treat people!

The horror!

10. When whites become a minority in the US, I wonder if they will

expect the same fine treatment many have given people of color over the years.

[Enrique]

12. that question is very much on their mind

it seems to be a main theme in Pat Buchanan's latest book.

[JI7]

14. only the RAcists like Buchanan , and good thing they are a minority

but the fewer their numbers become the more angrier they seem to get. especially if they see family members become friends with the minorities and gays.

15. The racists, the bigots, what pathetic little people they are. n/t
