WTH?
They just captured him alive, haven't even done an in-depth investigation yet, and are willing to say this nonsense?
Why?

(9,350 posts)He went to a football where there were black people and flew a Confederate flag while standing next to some of those black people. He would never be able to convince me he did not think at least one of those black people would react negatively to someone waving a Confederate flag. Was he also trying to cause a confrontation with the police? Did he want the police to more aggressively harass him so that he could post the video online and claim the unfair police were taking away the rights of good white citizens while allowing unruly black people to assault and steal from white people?

A year ago, a Black man brags on Facebook about shooting two police sitting in one vehicle that he came across late at night and mentions previous cases of unarmed men of color being murdered by police making him angry - well, that's all over the National news with shouts of "BLM did it!, degenerate-hate-filled-socialist-handout seeking-Muslim-activist-terrorist-gang-banger! No need for a trial - shoot to kill the n***** on sight!"
A day ago, a White man waiving a Confederate flag, angry for being ejected from a sporting event after threatening kids with a different skin-color kneeling at the National Anthem, goes out hunting police late at night, killing two in two separate instances over a half-hour span - oh, well - "We may never know".
Not only that, he's arrested in the morning at his affluent suburban home, with no suggestion of aggressive police behavior. No National outcry, no shouts of "Trump and the Alt-Right promoted this! Conservatives told this Degenerate-Anti-government conspiracy theorist--White Nationalist-murderer to go ahead and shoot anyone who doesn't agree with them! No need for a trial - shoot the cop-killer on sight!"
Just goes to show, if it's a well off white man, he's just a crazy, mixed up guy in a crazy, mixed up world... and it's so unfortunate that two of those brave blue "brothers" were ambushed and shot dead by some poor soul who was just confused and needs understanding.
Is this a double standard or what? Very Sad

(21,646 posts)His slurs and history of probation for going after his black neighbor,getting kicked out of a sports game with the confederate flag in IA, will any of this be a news story inclusion /conclusion?????
That is already given No! on FOX, Rush etc. if they even cover the story much. I already see postings he was a registered dem .
I haven't heard if the victims have any connection to the sports game incidence. Im not sure how he left the game last month if it was security or police
