Damn... that was horrible.
What a bunch of cock suckers! I think the media just stays away from heinous crimes to avoid a racial riot.

That was horrible what happened to those two white kids.
Just as horrible as what happened to little black girls and boys back then.
Only God can save us.
I dunno reporting this is probably not going to cause any good. It will just set off some KKK nutjob on a vigilante spree and some black folk who have nothing to do with this will get hurt.
A lot of crime happens and never hits the news. Even more reported crime ends being bogus when people are found innocent, you never hear that part either.
American media's obsession with reporting crime is pretty annoying, news are not just about who killed who, there are things to talk about that go on other than rape and assault. But that's what people want to hear about, it gives them some sort of weird pleasure I guess.
Only God can save us.
That's probably what the problem is. We have to do it as individuals ourselves. I'm not going to wait for god to do anything.
What are you going to do 4949? What do you feel you can do to save us that God cannot do?
There is a lot of things a person with actual power can do. The trick is getting the power. In this country it is actually possible to go from nothing to having power by becoming rich enough and entering the right circles. Once you are in and go the power, the limit to what you can do is your imagination and other people's resistance.
I personally like the saying, G-d helps those who help themselves. There is an old Jewish joke (Russian Jewish) that goes something like this:
An old devout Jewish man is seating on the roof of his house in the middle of a flood praying to be saved. A boat comes and tries to pick him up, but he says, go away, G-d will save me. So the water is higher, he is knee deep in water on the roof, and a helicopter flies in and tries to take him away. But he goes, go away, G-d will save me. Se he drowns and goes to heaven.
In heaven he finally gets to meet G-d, and he asks, G-d I have prayed and respected all your laws my entire life, and when I needed you to save me, where were you? And G-d says, you OLD FOOL, what do you think the boat and the helicopter were?
Keyword: actual power.
With God all things are possible. The trick is to get everyone to live by His words.
The trick is, not to force your point of view on others. When you try to "get everyone to live by His words," you get into pointless discussions and battles about which religion is correct. Meanwhile there are people dieing of hunger who should be helped. You live with your point of view, and let the Arabs live with their point of view. Everyone should just mind their own business.
Yeah but sometimes interests clash and something becomes a matter of survival by one of the sides. Points of view don't really matter than. Besides, "Arabs" is a very amorphous term. It does not mean much. A radical Muslim organization has nothing to do with Coptic Arabs for example. You can leave side by side with the latter, but there is no dialog possible with the former.

Who are you talking to -- can't be me.
I am not trying to ever force my beliefs on anyone. I could care less if you go to Heaven or Hell. My point was for God to get everyone to abide by His words. Not me.
Mind your business. Practice what you preach dawg
