Because Donald Trump the President of the United States encouraged them to be shot. Too bad that video proof hurts your sensibilities. And while you're erroneously reporting things report the above comment tb made towards SC.

You good now?

This thread is an embarrassment to Houston and Eccie.

We should have grace today.
You are exactly right VitaMan


There are some here that have to make their political statements as much as possible.......even after being warned
I completely agree with you. They don't have a lick of shame.
It's disgusting

Those people are dead and gone now. Trying to now act all caring and sensitive and using words like disgusting is for your benefit only. They cant see this and it's a 100% chance their relatives are not on this site and instead are grieving. I have no doubts those people would agree with my support of them and their plight. I support immigrants now so me doing an expose on the root cause analysis of the shooting is doing them justice in a sense. I would also suggest that if anyone really wants to make a difference then stop demonizing immigrants and STOP supporting a President that calls them rapists and murderers and criminals that's what's disgusting...If you want to show your care and concern then that's how you show it. Coming to this thread and grandstanding makes no difference to the poor souls that were lost. Those people were shot and killed for political reasons and too bad it makes you uncomfortable to discuss it in a real way. You're not the one who was mowed down by an AK. Accept the fact that a man you support is directly responsible for encouraging this behavior that's what's disgusting ...and simply stop supporting him. That's how you show your sorrow for what happened.

Remember the victims.

A hard lesson I have recently learned, be sure to tell those around you what you need to say because you never know when they will be gone. This man suddenly turned survivors into orphans and widows, and he took people from their lives they will never see again.

May he burn in hell.

Here are some of the victims stories...

So Philando Castillo, Tamir Rice, and countless other unarmed and complying non resisting citizens are dead for what? Go take that false mess and peddle it to some uninformed and uneducated Trump supporter. I'm not the one for it.

They always look to treat white armed and violent perps with dignity and respect irregardless of how many people they slaughter Originally Posted by Sistine Chapel

Philando Castile had a handgun with him. He was told not to reach for it then put his hand into his pants waistband. Tamir Rice was walking around in open sight waving and pointing a bb pistol that looks exactly like a real gun.


ya know what, son? if you are going to play the race card, learn what's really in the deck before you deal them cards.

This started out as information about (2) tragic situations in our country and then it turned into basically a political argument, which belongs in the "Political Forum".
...You are arguing a situation that has (2) sides and "no" definite answers, other than innocent people lost their lives and anyone who picks up a gun and shoots at anyone who doesn't have one is a "coward".....and a "piece of shit" and that's the only think that's definite.

All any chest pounding will accomplish is more of the same either today or tomorrow. The age of information (TMI IMO) is a dangerous one. We should all use it with as much care as we do any dangerous thing.

^ Stop trynna sugar coat shit. He said why he did it in his manifesto. This isn't some intellectual exercise here it's pretty dam simple:

1.) He believes in white supremacy
2.) He hates minorities
3.) He Loves Trump

What more do you need? Yall twist yourselves into impretzels because you're constantly running from the obvious. You're all in denial.
