from my Facebook tonight

Couldn't import posters. But the Big poster with the old poor vet beaten to death, lands in my FB home page.

the sender, A good friend and life long male military nurse retired.


HC sheared
Extremely pissed off right wringer right now.
No other comment, just the poster/propaganda.

First commenter.

MC: Where is Al and Jessie? Oh that right this is just a white man beaten by black teens. If it was white teens killing a black man. OMG!! Riots in the streets and Al and Jessie in the news....

It goes on but you get gist.

My response.

FR: Do you believe this is what our children are about? I hate what these motherfuckers did. Is it now OK to stalk and kill black children because of these two useless eaters? Is this a 0sum fucking game? HC you are a friend to me. Should I worry that you and your friends would drag me behind a truck after bullshitting with me all night, like the good ole boys did in Texas? This is a crime, you HC are not a criminal. I don't know what kind of message this is.;

Probably because he considers you a friend, he forgot momentarily that you are (I am assuming) black.

This shit's way out of control.

The guy was a vet from WWII. OK. Why is that relevant to the crime?

Why not say a retired union aluminum mill worker. That seems more relevant to his present situation.

why didn't they say anything about the white guy who shot the black kid Jordan Davis ? why didn't they say anything about the old white guy who killed the black kid in wisconsin ????

oh, it's because in all of those cases just like in the case of this vet who was killed and the killing of chris lane they are being charged . and there is nobody out there defending what they did. everyone agrees with them being arrested and charged and punished .

can't stand these stupid fucking racists.
