UN_FRICKIN_BELIEVABLE: Virginian Pilot explains why it didn't print story on 100 "youths" beating up white couple.

Thanks for this. I have communicated with the editor, and had the wrong number. 30 people on 2 is still not a simple assault case.

Meh, you've got a point.

And yeah, Ghent.

I read it. I stand by what I said, having read it. It's there in black and white.

What is it about Political Correctness that you find so...compelling?

Stop using this months buzzword "Political Correctness". I said you went off on a tangent, nothing about PC. To be more specific, you're using hyperbole to hype up an incident that was pretty insignificant. It's local matter, that's it...

Just emailed the editor with my comments on this crap.

Encourage others to do the same.

:african:

This is meant to be derrogitive, so tighten your ass up

All you armchair warriors are pathetic, YOU let this happen, Get off the conspiracy sites and do something about it, Ya see, "Your" children have all been indoctrinated into the "WIGGA" program at school, When your old ass is dead then what, Oh! in memory to a worthless, helpless, scared craplees arm chair warrior, pathetic fear!

Black people of color?!?!?

WTF is that? A new niggy-wanna-new-moniker thingy?

+1M

thanks, i was expecting some red karma, sometimes ya gotta say "what the hell", tell it like it is!

Obviously.

Your logic is to logickal.

Trayvon....more important than fukushima to the press. Should tell you everything about this culture and what is going on "behind the scenes".

That "newspaper" is a joke

What happened to the couple, are they o.k.?

They certainly aren't DEAD or this wouldn't be classified as a "simple assault" whether the classification is justified or not.

Regarding the armchair warrior comment... DEAD ON. It's people like the OP who talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. You want folks like the KKK, NEO-NAZI's and White Power movements to do your dirty work for you.

NOTHING FREAKIN' NEW in America.

YOU people let this happen so do something about it like the Martin family did.

Why do you think black stories get posted... because black families/people get RILED up about it and contact the right people.

The "right" people in your case would be your politicians... but oh wait... they honestly don't give a rat's arse about you and that's what's really angering at the end of the day.
You are the 99%... unless you aren't, and in that case, you're disposable.

Black people used to be arm chair warriors.. or should I say back seat warriors to until the 60s happened.

"People like the OP..."

What???

Getting the word out is a BIG part of the battle. That's why this particular story is so onerous. 30 people attack one white couple and the newspaper keeps it quiet.

Now - thanks to people who read - this story has gone viral. The ploy of the Virginian Pilot to sweep this under the rug has failed - big time.

OP, You've done well by letting everone know whats going on, Thank You, Rocky

It was actually 35. Also, witnesses said some of the youths stated this is for Tray Martin.

Oh that's completely different, it was only 30 people attacking a couple, nothing to see here, move along...
