I agree. I'm surprised people are so surprised.
ISIS does worse than this daily, hourly probably.

I'm watching Jeffrey Toobin on CNN now who said he doesn't know if it was a hate crime because we have to wait for authorities to review tapes without the blurring or bleeps.
???????
We are all trapped in a Lewis Carroll novel.
O...M...G
They bleeped out the "f" words.
So you don't know if it was a hate crime because you can't hear the "f" words?
Oh my gods, CNN has gone full retard.

They have Assistant DAs in with police officials discussing how to "handle" this.
People from the Mayor's office there too.
Cell phones ringing and vibrating like crazy.

I really hate to say it, but # like this breeds people like Dylan Roof.
i really hate to say it but white supremacy breeds people like the ones in this video...
*gasp*
oh wait but who started all this mess? shoot looks like we are going to be going in circles now huh
please dont make yourself sound stupid. thank you.
This kind of thing DOES breed people like Dylan Roof, it's stupid and dangerous NOT to understand that. Do you not think that when a pendulum swings in one direction, that it doesn't come back in the opposite direction?
It's just common SENSE.
sure but to assume it sprang randomly out of nowhere its pure ignorance. take a history lesson why dont you.
A history lesson? They were 18! How have they been treated that caused this? Bull#! It's an excuse!
the history comment is to illustrate how things originally started and its merely a chain of events down the line. there is no slavery today but there once was and people still have the engrained racist basses passed down along the chain from family and those times earlier on.
leading to what we have today which is a more mental form of oppression which then manifests at times into the physical reality.
The continent of Africa is one of the most problematic regions in terms of contemporary slavery. Slavery in Africa has a long history, within Africa since before historical records, but intensifying with the Arab slave trade and again with the trans-Atlantic slave trade; the demand for slaves created an entire series of kingdoms (such as the Ashanti Empire) which existed in a state of perpetual warfare in order to generate the prisoners of war necessary for the lucrative export of slaves. These patterns have persisted into the colonial period during the late 19th and early 20th century.
Although the colonial authorities attempted to suppress slavery from about 1900, this had very limited success, and after decolonization, slavery continues in many parts of Africa even though being technically illegal. Slavery in the Sahel region (and to a lesser extent the Horn of Africa), exist along the racial and cultural boundary of Arabized Berbers in the north and darker Africans in the south.[1] Slavery in the Sahel states of Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan in particular, continues a centuries-old pattern of hereditary servitude.
Other forms of traditional slavery exist in parts of Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria. There are other, non-traditional forms of slavery in Africa today, mostly involving human trafficking and the enslavement of child soldiers and child labourers, e.g. human trafficking in Angola, and human trafficking of children from Togo, Benin and Nigeria to Gabon and Cameroon.[2] Modern day slavery in Africa according to the Anti-Slavery Society includes exploitation of subjugate populations even when their condition is not technically called "slavery":
Migrant workers in Qatar still at risk despite reforms, warns Amnesty
Workers building 2022 World Cup stadiums in Qatar will remain at risk of forced labour because of “meagre reforms” that “barely scratch the surface” of the Gulf state’s exploitation of migrant labour, Amnesty International UK has warned.

Really, there are no words to describe how completely insanely bad reporting CNN does and is doing right now. I have a feeling CNN and other "news" stations are pissing a LOT of people off, and at some point people will have FINALLY had enough..
It's what I hope for at least. I feel like the people involved in our horrible media are criminals equal to the ones who did this kidnapping.

What's sad is that you and I know better, but so many people just suck it up and accept these idiots as truth.
