    Isn't it remarkable that the first recognized 'riots' since the Trayvon murder came in Kentucky?

    And at least Reginald Denny wasn't killed, they only showed his brutal beating. They didn't show any video of the murders committed.

    I think that it safe to say that in history the numerous Blacks Riots have caused far more Deaths and Damage than Drunk White Guys will ever do.

    So let's hear it scalabrine, what are your stats for the combined White people Riots? They come anywhere near to topping a Billion? I know the damage in state College was around 150K. How about Murders committed? You have a number for that?

    Peeled me like a banana he says. I almost feel like posting those gay rolling yellow heads that sclabrine does when he thinks that he made some type of point.

    Why would you waste your time on someone like him? He is a worthless POS and loves seeing that he gets under your skin. Guys like him are lonely, have no real true friends to talk to. This is his outlet. This is all he has in life. A forum to spew his pointless views.

    Histrionic personality disorder. It's sad

    They are both equally as disgusting.  But the riots in Kentucky were due to a basketball team winning a championship.  Not exactly a hot bed issue capable of being debated.  It's boring. It's not controversial. Everyone knows EXACTLY what happened.  They won a basketball game.  

    In the Trayvon case, people have taken sides and that of course is going to have an affect on how they view the riots.  

    Is it right?  Of course not.

    As for scal..a few things:

    1.  I understand your OP but we all know media coverage is ratings driven.

    2.  While I think you're a bit extreme at times - it's interesting the level of interst your threads get by people who seemingly hate you.  Similar to Skip Bayless or Bill O'Reilly.  I can't stand skip but think O'reilly is more balanced than most.

    3.  You do much more for covers than that chick sarahJ that covers hired and is no longer around.

    What part of that was racist ?

    Maybe the fact that he was caught with jewelry in his bookbag along with a screwdriver. Maybe because he was suspended from school for possesing pot, maybe its his gold grill.

    What part of that was racist ?

    Maybe the fact that he was caught with jewelry in his bookbag along with a screwdriver. Maybe because he was suspended from school for possesing pot, maybe its his gold grill.

    Its because basketball is way more important than Trayvons life to everyone except those close to him. Nobody else really gives a shit. How many people are killed by drunk drivers every day? Gang violence? War? Cancer? It doesnt matter til its under your roof.

    Nobody gives a shit. Nobody. THose on tv are pretending to care so they can be on tv. The end.

    Zimmerman was detainted but no charges.  That is still  open to investigation.  No riots because there is no final  outcome yet. And there may never be riots.  You are no less subjective than the conservative new agencies you point out.  Unbaised and hypocritical.

    What do I need stats for based on how every Black Riot goes down?  They all go down the same way.

    Race Riots(Let's just call them Black Riots since that is what they are) are premeditated and most of those involved have a plan to kill, loot, and/or cause Havoc and destruction before the actual reason for killing, looting, or causing Havoc is even revealed.

    Once again you prove yourself a fucking joke and sound more and more like a Neo-Nazi. And I'm not just saying that because you are opposing me. I have debated many people, including Nazis, and you are a posting echo chamber for alot of their prejudice.

    So now the Rodney King riots were premeditated but the Kentucky riot was not? 

    How convenient! So you will sit here and deny those fans didn't have plans to wreak havoc on the city afterwards if a victory for the Wildcats was achieved? Of course, when they are white fans, it is all on the spur of the moment and 'good fun' that just happened to result in cars being flipped over, gunshots flying, 39+ fires being set, mass injuries etc. etc. etc.


    In addition, at a minimum, the major riots of the 90's (which you hurriedly googled to get stats on) had a socially rousing impetus, that is, white cops beating the shit out of an unarmed black man on tape. Of course the cops will come up with any story necessary to justify their actions (King was 'high' and resisting), therefore it took several cops to pull out their billy clubs and brutalize him to make him stay on the ground. This will always be the case for police forces and their terrorism on communities, particularly black ones.
    Mind you, the riots didn't occur after the tape was released. It occurred after the police walked (sound familiar?).

    More convenient argumentation comes when you measure the damages of a major riot in the aggregate. You quote 'One billion dollars' like you have your pinky to the corner of your mouth. 

    This discounts the fact that whites riot after nearly every major sports championship. It discounts and ignores the injuries and deaths and property damage. Whites, in the aggregate, not only riot more frequently and for frivolous purposes, but most certainly have an 'accrued riot cost' that is quite significant after all these sporting events (although I am not going to go back and quantify it, you can see the point).

    So while blacks rioted in the face of a police force that was on tape terrorizing a black citizen, which threatened societal norms and structure, whites riot for................sports. A sociologist would have a field day with that one.  

    You're problem is, once again, you see blacks as out of control, uncivilized barbarians (another Neo-Nazi stance) as you elucidated in your last paragraph, but when whites act in a similar manner more frequently (including setting fires, fires of which you tried to relegate to just a car trying to ignore the other 39+ fires, which was the POINT of the counter-argument in the last post) over sporting events, it is a celebration that just got out of hand.

    Then you have whites rioting over other things that are sports related but are much more sordid...like riots in support for Joe Paterno after he admitted he failed to contact the police for the Sandusky sexual assaults on children as young as 10 years old. Yes, whites rioted IN SUPPORT of Joe Paterno for this. Curious isn't it?

    So while you will sit here and paint blacks as waiting in the shadows to KILL AND LOOT, rioting is not exclusive to the black race, whites engage in it MORE often in the past few decades over meaningless (and sometimes in support of unbelievably immoral actions), making blacks and whites have much more in common than many think in this area. 

    Have your mom finish crocheting that swastika in that afghan you wrap yourself in while you type up these posts.

    You may want to pick up a newspaper or browse the internet for something other than sports. There's a murdered young man by the name of Trayvon Martin which explains my presence among these swine. I'm surprised I have kept such unsavory company for this long.

    In the same vein, a story from the media can be consumed by the general public and still serve a very important social function and provide a nation-wide realization about prejudice and police bias as this story has.

    We need not demonize ALL media and ALL news reports, despite its need for ratings which ensures its survival. 

    The report on 'pink slime' is VERY important and is a big ratings grabber. That doesn't diminish its importance. Neither does it diminish the importance of the Trayvon Martin story, a story that wouldn't be a speck on national news scene had this man simply been arrested. 

    2. Bill O'Reilly is not balanced imo, not even close and Fox News is drifting from being anything close to a station that broadcasts news for news' sake. 

    3. Thanks and I can only imagine the racist cesspool of shit and piss this place would be with Holdem doing a breaststroke and NJDevils doing a backstroke within. This guy crod is so in deep, he's already underwater and coming up like swamp thing spitting the pool's sewage out of his mouth (after chewing?) like a marble cherub in a town square.

    Nice argument Train. About 150 people are killed a year by falling coconuts. Does that mean the world shouldn't care about the Trayvon Martin's and the Caylee Anthony's because we have a falling coconut epidemic we should be worrying about? Of course fucking not you dumbass. It doesn't logically follow.

    So let me get this straight scalabrine, you are allowed to use Google to get all of your stats and information that you use to post your feces here in these forums, but when I use Google to rebut the vomit that you spew, I am the "Fucking Joke"?

    The easiest way to find out the person who does the most damage to scalabrine is to just look at the length of the response post that you get 48 hours later.

    Here is food for thought scalabrine, instead of watching the edited version of the Rodney king video that the Media breast fed you 20 years ago, try watching the unedited version.

    During the time dumbass scalabrine posted about falling coconuts, A black man died at the hands of another Black man.

    Get your priorities in check scalabrine.

    Who cares about Trayvon Martin anymore? There have been 100+ Black Teens murdered since he got killed. Those kid's parents don't give a flying F@#k about Trayvon Martin.

    I have to be truthful here scalabrine, I have never felt more racist until I joined up here and argued with you over what you believe is the truth. So I don't know if you are aware of it or not(or even care) but you have done far more harm than good.

    Congratulations.

    This story is old.

    We have a bunch of Trayvon Martins that die everyday here in Jersey.

    Paterson, Camden, Irvington, Newark, JC, The Oranges, etc....

    The kid was on borrowed time anyway.  One less gangbanger on the street.

    No, you shouldnt care about Trayvon Martin or Caylee Anthony, just like you shouldnt care about falling coconuts. Take care of your family, go to work, be honest and kind, and dont stand under coconut tress.

    Its not that hard. Does that logically follow?

    One of the absolute stupidest things I have ever read. You sincerely need help. Get the fuck off your couch and walk outdoors. I have never read anyone write such lunacy as you. Of course you think you are brilliant. You are fucking mental!

    Yes you are a fucking joke. Everyone in the world uses google. It's how you use it.

    You RUN to the internet to look up one of the most significant riots in US history, one that occurred only AFTER white policemen walked away from a courtroom, free to continue in their profession, after being caught on tape beating an inebriated black man, to terrorize the black community as they have done during the drug war since its inception, continually disregarding the black life as it lies at their feet, just like Trayvon Martin.

    I've used the same resource to show the disparity in arrest, stop and frisk and incarceration rates in the minority community. See the difference? Anyone can pilfer information from the web to suit their cause, but let it at least show a morsel of advanced intellect or original thought, not some aggregate figure from a single riot with might I add, a very serious cause, while disregarding each and every white based riot in the process.

    And now you come back with a Rodney King tape that has secrets from editing? Man, you really are a wannabe Neo-Nazi. Now even the Rodney King beating has justification in your posts and mind. 

    It is truly remarkable. You are, without a doubt, among the most disgusting human beings (and I use that term lightly) I have ever encountered, via internet or in life.

    The easiest way to find out the person who does the most damage to scalabrine is to just look at the length of the response post that you get 48 hours later.

    Here is food for thought scalabrine, instead of watching the edited version of the Rodney king video that the Media breast fed you 20 years ago, try watching the unedited version.

    During the time dumbass scalabrine posted about falling coconuts, A black man died at the hands of another Black man.

    Get your priorities in check scalabrine.





    Yes you are a fucking joke. Everyone in the world uses google. It's how you use it.

    You RUN to the internet to look up one of the most significant riots in US history, one that occurred only AFTER white policemen walked away from a courtroom, free to continue in their profession, after being caught on tape beating an inebriated black man, to terrorize the black community as they have done during the drug war since its inception, continually disregarding the black life as it lies at their feet, just like Trayvon Martin.

    I've used the same resource to show the disparity in arrest, stop and frisk and incarceration rates in the minority community. See the difference? Anyone can pilfer information from the web to suit their cause, but let it at least show a morsel of advanced intellect or original thought, not some aggregate figure from a single riot with might I add, a very serious cause, while disregarding each and every white based riot in the process.
