My problem with this case is the way the media handled it. I wasn't there, I don't know what happened. All I know is, cops kill White guys now and again, too. And you can't tell me that it would have been met with nearly as much mock outrage from the media if the victim was White.
And I realize that's neither here nor there, as far as Eric Garner goes. But the media is just so culpable in fanning the flames in these cases that it makes me wish that these news anchors here in New York would be put out of their Upper West Side apartments and forced to live in Brownsville for a week or two.
You had to see them by Rockefeller Center earlier (I wasn't there, I'm a little sick anyway, but I was watching on television). They kept going on and on and on about how it wouldn't be surprising if people showed up to protest because tonight was the night they light the tree. They were literally taking it upon themselves to invite a protest down there. Peaceful or not, the media should NOT have any say in where and when people are going to protest. They make me sick to my stomach.
I think the leaders of any march here in NYC will be smart enough to extort a million from NBC not to march when they light up the tree. Like some did during the Thanksgiving day parade.
If they dont do that they need a new leader they should call me.
On News groups suggesting that this would be a great time to protest.
Remember Ted Koppel he ran a story on how easy it would be for terrorists to let loose that white powder from a moving train. How it could kill a half a million people if they did that.I am no talking about Heroin either it would be crazy to waste heroin on something like that
He did that story right after 9/11. Then that piece of shit ran it again.
What was the idea to give terrorists the idea to do it. Or he just wanted to scare New Yorkers out of taking the subway to work?
