I Wonder Why This One Isn't Headline News?

I await mikey's reaction, strangely because he seems to have missed this black on white killing.

The method implies an execution, rather than a random killing.

To shoot a man twice at close range in broad daylight indicates a level of experience that infers a professional assassin rather than a gang shooting.

We need to wait for more details on this before we start jumping to any conclusions.

What is the point of this post, as a news item or to make a point to one user? If so why?

Perhaps it should have been an 'FAO Mikey'?

It has certainly made many headlines around the globe from looking.

RIP Detective Marconi.

[ummmm]

I don't understand the point of it either as it's AOG who usually hunts out black crime.

Thanks for that statistic divebuddy but a comparison of two completely different things seems meaningless to me. Can you provide a bit more info?

I get dragged into many threads without the need for a FAO prefix.

Okay thanks. It obviously stuck in your mind at the time as being meaningful even if the significance has been forgotten. Anyway, as has been said before, two wrongs don't make a right

It isn't headline "news" because it's not in sync with the liberal drum beating.

[fiction-factory]

Not even on Fox News?

What do you expect me to say AOG ?

Its a tragedy for the Officer and his family of course.

[RandyMarsh]

I think you are supposed to justify it somehow.

[Mamyalynne]

It's all over the News sites - maybe not my local rag The Bolton News, but then it wouldn't be would it?

I must be seriously missing something here.

Totally agree with Mikey, I can't imagine anyone on here would say it's acceptable/justifiable in any way.

Only a very disarranged person would say that it is acceptable/justifiable.

I highlighted mikey because he is generally the first off the mark when there happens to be a cop on black killing in the USA.

I look forward to the "White Lives Matter" movement demonstrating against the third runway at Heathrow.

So we are all in agreement. Unlawful killing is a dreadful crime, regardless of the colour of those involved
