[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only on DCUM is this evil murderer called a "young man" while Trayvon Martin is labeled a thug. [/quote]

Well there you have it. I agree.[/quote]

James Holmes has been called quite a few things on DCUM. Trayvon Martin was also called a variety of terms, including "young man":

You are cherry picking two terms out of many to make a point. But, I think you are actually illustrating that a large spectrum of viewpoints are available on DCUM. If that makes DCUM unique (I don't actually think it does), then it is something of which we should all be proud.

That may be true, but the level of sympathy for this person, in the absence of a single statement or real evidence of hardship in his life, is striking.  I think that sympathy would largely evaporate if he was a muslim.  But much like with the Huguely case, many posters are looking to causes other than "evil".  And I think much of the reason is that he looks like one of our kids.[/quote]

Wrong again. I am the OP who wasn't raised in this country therefore doesn't have the hang up of race. You don't have to be of the same color to see another human being with compassion as if he/she were one of our kids.
