[Vision2020] A Double Standard?

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Wayne,

You can't possibly think you can substantiate this claim, can you?

victim of a crime is black, and the perpetrator isn't, it comes across 
as a race-based crime, and everyone from the White House downplays the 
race card?'

Scott,

I'm trying to understand why it is that when ever a victim of a crime is black, and the perpetrator isn't, it comes across as a race-based crime, and everyone from the White House downplays the race card,yet when the crime victim is white, and the perpetrator is black, such as in the Chris Lane case, and even closer to Moscow in the Delbert Belton case, race is not an issue. Are we dealing with a double standard, or perhaps race doesn't play a role in either situation?

Wayne

As and aside, Fox psychiatrist Keith Ablow placed the blame squarely on abortions and Facebook.

Right, so I don't know what this case has to do with the Martin case.

45 days had passed before Zimmerman was charged with anything.

Was there any delay in bringing charges against the defendants? In the Trayvon Martin case, no charges were brought until there was intense media attention and several weeks had passed.

In this instance, charges have been brought within the week.

How is this case analogous to the Martin case? Why would we compare this crime to that one?
