It's okay, the BBC covered it too. ;)

Think about some of the other incidents that involve other races.  Or I will just say Black.  When such crimes happen and hit the social sites, it causes rage which causes the local incident to hit viral levels and next thing you know its all over the news.  You get uprising, protest, people traveling to cities to protest and interviews all over the place.  Even in this thread there isn't any outrage, its more clinical. 

In other words, does this incident get you involved or will it be logged in your memory and you move on with your life.  The difference is  its still another crime within thousands of other crimes that does not move you to do anything more then reflect.  The issues that goes viral, get people moving, forming groups and protest and there is nothing the bigger media loves then those type of events because they can go over the incidents countless times looking to gain more viewership, web hits etc.

Turns out to be fake, the kids staged it.

I mean, I heard about this from all types of outlets. You can use any major one and you'll see a story about it.

Both stories are awful, but to act like this doesn't matter because something wrong that was done in the past is loathsome.

Edit: And I see Fentonis trying to same one story got more coverage than another. WAT. How?

Can you please update the topic title. A black teen would not do this a they are just like any other decent person in society.

On the other hand a self proclaimed "nigga gangsta" would. I'm sure they through that word around a few times in the video in between the punches as they laughed at how tough they were.

EDIT: just read it was staged on last page of comments. Is that something you really fuck with?

I see nothing that says this was staged. Anyway, nothing says stupid then posting your crime on Facebook. As for this story getting run on all the major sites, I have found it covered on all of them and on the front page so does this mean this posting was rushed.

Lmao this is literally the first time I've heard of something like this.  you trying to say it wouldn't also be big news if white men done this to a black dude? 

Smh. 

I'd heard about this and noticed they hadn't really emphasised the race of the attackers because they're black bit had it been the other way around they sure as hell would have made that known.

Just curious, does this include local elections too? Do you extrapolate this logic to count for everyone? Because personally I see no inherent reason to think politicians in general are crappier human beings just because they are politicians (or the opposite, that they are better human beings). Now, I'd agree with you that everybody lies, but I still have friends and make conversations etc. and in the same way, I still vote for various politicians (or well, I would if I were old enough) if I think it'll get me closer to making the country more like how I think it should be. I just find it curious that you are so pragmatic about everything, yet don't see the pragmatic reasoning to vote.
