After reading this article, I believe this is a "hate crime" due to several strong points with the statements and the actual 14 mile drive. I do not agree that the other 5 involved are not locked up without bail; as this could water down any evidence or possible deploytation.
The media mentions two vehicles at the crime scene that drove there. They indicate one of the drivers (Dedmon) but leave out the other driver? Why?
The media author also contradicts himself about where the victim is located after the beating when the truck runs him over. Is he staggering to his truck or is he stumbling to the motel front entrance?
Is the media author of African-American Heritage? Is the proscecuting attorney of African-American Heritage? They are very biased; however, I do agree this crime is premeditated Hate crime.
The media author does not mention of any witnesses either. why or why not?
The media author also does not mention the time of night this is? Is it 8pm? midnight? "weee" hours of the morning? This could explain the reason for no witnesses is all.
Thanks for your post and link!
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting and sad. Thank you for posting that up and sharing it with us Kim. To see that racism can be this bad really makes it hard for the rest of us to go on our daily lives knowing that there are still people like that out there. It's scary. I really want to know what kids are learning these days or what is shown on the media for them to still behave in such a racism way.
