Another beating caught on tape. But this one has a twist:
SEATTLE - Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square. But believe it or not, someone caught the beating on videotape. Now, police are asking for your help identifying the suspects.
But, you ask, what is the twist? The twist is that the victims are soldiers home from Iraq, and the criminals are black. So don't expect the mainstream media to jump all over this the way they did for Rodney King. In fact, don't expect the national press to report this at all.

Perps, rope, tree, some assembly required.
Beat them soundly first; don't want to make it too easy..

You mean this wasn't set up by Karl Rove to distract us from Cindy Sheehan?

What did Rodney King's being black have to do with anything?

Just another reason to [hate criminals].
Okay...SOME [of them].
I don't wanna hate [them] but this stupid shit happens all too often. What a bunch of pussies these fake tough guys are. What was it? Three against two?
Or more by the looks of it.
Just another reason to pack a gun.
And blow [criminals] like this to kingdom come.

Were the victims "white"?
Fox TV didn't mention that the savages were "black".
Is this being called a "hate crime"?
Why not?

If it's true, I agree, it's horrible. I ran into a post earlier today working on the theory that the whole thing is a "fight club" advertising scheme to sell videos. If I run into it again I'll post it.

Fights don't end up on the news usually. Just thought you might want to know.

fights usually also aren't videotaped...

Yeah, the news is too busy broadcasting 24/7 coverage of one crazy woman and her quest to dethrone the President.

Be nice to see those stupid [criminals] decapitated in Iraq on video. That should be their sentence. [ed note: the people who did this are guilty because THEY ARE CRIMINALS, not because they are black. But because they are black, the mainstream media will NEVER give this the attention it deserves. If you are going to make racist statements about the criminals, do it elsewhere. -- Resistance is futile!]
