For Whom Bell Tolls

Submitted by Phil, Dec 5, 2006 14:14

It takes a big person to stand up and speak out like this.

"the usual suspects" don't tolerate pushback of this sort - it's considered racism to consider that their motives may be racist in nature.

I do not defend the actions of the police, nor the victims at this stage, I am waiting patiently for the facts. I think this horrible tragedy should be fully investigated from an unbiased standpoint - then the facts should lead to the subsequent actions taken - if any.

It's unfortunate that the attempt seems to be to put the investigators in the position of "prove it wasn't racial".
