So it appears there was racial motivation in this killing after all the people that said there was not. Will this be the next HUGE story in the news? I guess only time will tell on this one but I would wager that it will die out fairly soon.
One of three teens charged in the 'thill kill' of an Australian college student in Oklahoma last week has previously posted racist tweets on his Twitter account, according to a report.

I am in need (again) of an interpreter to help me understand W-T-F he is saying in this tweet.
This part: "lol sh#t ima keep sleepin sh#t!"
Does anyone have any idea what point he was attempting to convey with that?

Not saying that to diminish the severity of their crimes, it's really terrible what they did. But it's not as if there exists this imagined war on white people as a growing number of people on ATS seem to believe.
Seeing my fellow white people getting hysterical over this is in itself hilarious.edit on 8/22/2013 by Monger because: (no reason given)

Yeah, you're correct. I was wrong, not ashamed to admit it. But I think my broader point still stands. This was less a racist act than another tragic thrill killing. Obviously, people are going to have their own opinions on the matter.

Then, around closing time at 11 p.m., witnesses told the Journal Sentinel, dozens to hundreds of black youths attacked white people as they left the fair, punching and kicking people, and shaking and pounding on vehicles.

How would this not be considered a racist crime. They could have "randomly" chose anyone to shoot. Its obvious that this was a targeted attack. It's people that tweet stuff like that, that this country would be better without. Just my opinion.edit on 22-8-2013 by gikari because: (no reason given)
