Fresno shooting of white men by a black racist nutter seems to have been Ignored by our media????
---------------------------------
It wasn't, I remember this article being 2nd top story on the BBC's front page at the time (behind general election news understandably):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39636104
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I read the same.
"He did clarify that the reason he had made that statement was that in the event that anything did happen to him that he was in fact pledging his allegiance to God for protection."
Yet again proving that saying Allahu Akbar doesn't mean you are doing something because God said so.
This is probably why it didn't get the 24 hour coverage these shootings usually get, because they decided not to call it terrorist.
As a side note, it wasn't racist but it was a horrible murder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, it was a race hate crime, by a guy who openly said he hated white people, then murdered four, so jog on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr Muhammad's father later told the Los Angeles Times that his son believed he was part of an ongoing war between whites and blacks and that "a battle was about to take place". He went by the nickname Black Jesus.
Mr Muhammad, who was born as Kori Taylor, was imprisoned in 2005 for gun and cocaine charges.
A former classmate at the Fresno City College said he would often not show up for classes for weeks at a time, and accuse his instructors of being racist.
"He's very, very unstable," Derek Bavin told KSEE-TV News.
Unstable = Lone wolf, loner and mentally ill, if you are white so we'll extend the same courtesy to this black man.
He also talked about racism being an issue, maybe this alienation because of the colour of his skin was also a cause for aiming at white people instead of Arabs, Latinas, Jews and Asians etc
I think you just want him to be somebody who just hates white people for the heck of it.
You haven't actually read the article just the headline.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think anyone will deny he was mentally unstable; anyone who commits an act such as that is bound to be. However, that still wouldn’t change the fact that it was a racist hate crime. Did the killer’s racial hatred also stem from alienation or bad experiences? Possibly, but then the same could possibly be said of Dylann Roof and several others.
Terms like lone wolf are just used to describe someone who acted alone and without any accomplices and isn't a member of a larger group.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he thought there was a war between white and black people which there isn't then I'd say he's pretty delusional and mentally unstable in that way.
The article also talks about him complaining about racism.
I don't think what he did fits into the bracket of racism.
The KKK for example linched black people because they saw them as less than human.
I assuming this guy thought white people were the enemy because historically and even today they are the people primarily responsible for the exploitation of black people.
For me that wouldn't make it a racist attack.
Having said that this is as I said based on assumption from what I think has likely happened from the information in he article, so yeah I could be wrong.
It is very unlikely based on the article that he attacked white people because he saw them as an inferior race etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You don't think what he did fits in the bracket of racism even though he killed people purely based on their race? That sounds like the very definition of a racist hate crime to me.
His belief that there is a war between whites and blacks is actually very common among racialist groups. They believe it is more of a cold war but one that will erupt violently over the next few decades. They've been saying it since the 60's.
The killer referred to white people as being "devils" so I think it's fair to assume that he saw them as being inferior and less then human. Most black power groups also preach black supremacy, not equality.
I don't deny that he may have suffered prejudice that may have led to him developing extreme views, but that's hardly unique. Almost all types of mass-killers will have a backstory in which they were felt alienated or victimized at one point.
Kung fu & bluebell. Get a room and hug it out

You mean they can blame it on brevity instead of them admitting they would have done it anyway to save cash?
If you look across the industry, input prices (cost of manufacturing) has risen around 30% due to Sterling devaluation.
Manufacturers have absorbed most of these cost increases but there's only so much they are willing to cut into profits.
Which has been reflected in the supermarket. Remember Toblerone, a high profile example of shrinkflation.
But that's only short term. The long term issue is having full unrestricted access to the SM and customs union. Whatever FTA the UK government will eventually reach with the EU, will never be able to replicate membership.
Especially in regard to EU tarriff quota protections (amongst others) which has already resulted in many businesses moving certain operations back inside the comfort of the SM/CU.
Trump still shooting pearls of wisdom.
“People don't go around asking about Nato if I'm building a building in Manhattan, right? So they asked me, Wolf ... asked me about Nato, and I said two things. Nato's obsolete — not knowing much about Nato, now I know a lot about Nato — Nato is obsolete, and I said, ‘And the reason it's obsolete is because of the fact they don't focus on terrorism.’ You know, back when they did Nato there was no such thing as terrorism.”
There is so much wrong with that quote it makes me want to cry.

That was hard going.
....would you like a coke...
Haha. Crazy nutter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the transcript of the interview you’d think the lift wasn’t going to the top floor.
Apparently there’s a button on his oval room desk, that will notify someone to give him a diet coke…
I'm only about 1/5th of the way through, but he's hilarious. I can understand his popularity, because he's a brilliant comedian, he's not a comedian, but he's great, Ilove him. He's a comedian.
So yeah, people listen to him and crack up, but he's great, people love him, so they listen to him, and they say 'This fu·cking maniac can't be POTUS, he's gonna nuke North Korea, he's gonna get us all killed', but then they crack up and say 'But he's great, I love him, he's great', and I love him for that.

I’ve also seen a few videos in regard to his reading ability. Being unable to read documents, (relating to his many federal legal actions – named as a defendant in around 1.5k ).
Anyway, the recordings were excruciating with him unable to read/pronounce various words. His attorney kept interjecting, (as Trump was making an eejit of himself) suggesting he put on his glasses.
Trump eventually stopped reading, citing he didn’t have his glasses with him. I’ve never seen him wear glasses apart from on the golf course!!
When he did the joint presser with Theresa May the other month, his reading was atrocious, yet at other times, he’s spoken quite well (when reading an autoque).
I gather (which seems to supported by his tweeting) he obtains most news information from telly rather than read anything. Fox.
You’d think, as he’s the most powerful bloke on the planet, he’d simply seek council from one of his many advisors. As they are the best advisors. They're great...the greatest advisors with the best advice.
