Off-duty cop shoots another teen in St. Louis

[Lone Ranger]

Off-duty cop working security shot a teen who subsequently died of his wounds. The protesters were out in force damaging police vehicles and seeking answers to why the teen was shot.

Oh, did I mention that the teen had a gun that he used to fire at the off-duty officer. Look for astro-turf protesters to sprout up everytime a cop shoots a minority or "teen".

The radical left and their allies consider this as just a gift to help keep the minorities worked up that will get them to the voting booths. Smart tactic considering they vote 99% democrat, no matter how bad democrat policies damage them.

Well I'll be damned.
Another an-armed teen is gunned down and as expected, out pops someone from the radical right finds a way to politicize the death and turn it into a right vs left, democrat vs. republican pile of drivel.

Better?

Another an-armed teen is gunned down and as expected, out pops a fascist lunatic on the right who finds a way to politicize the death and turn it into a right vs left, democrat vs. republican pile of drivel.

It would seem for one to call a conservative a fascist lunatic is not only an attack of a person's character but also a political post itself. You are aware political posts are allowed here and with the mid term election just days away, if you are that sensitive to political post perhaps a different forum which doesn't allow political post would be a better fit for you.

Police reports the teen had a gun, and fired three shots before it jammed. Police have the gun.

As for politicizing the deaths in St. Louis, there isn't, and hasn't been any outside traditional values American right ("radical" to the left) groups agitating and promoting riots, but the left have been there. If it wasn't race, the left would be pushing the anti 2nd Amendment.

I was just pointing out the obvious...

It would seem for one to call a conservative a radical rightist is not only an attack of a person's character but also a political post itself. You are aware political posts are allowed here and with the mid term election just days away, if you are that sensitive to political post perhaps a different forum which doesn't allow political post would be a better fit for you.

If you're offended by the term "fascist lunatic" (which by the way was change to "radical rightist" over 42 minutes ago) when applying it to someone who completely dismissed the fact that a young man was gunned down by police, and the resulting protest is perceived as some sort of underhanded left wing conspiracy, something is very, very wrong.

Oh yes, those pesky crisis's not going to waste.
Such as Benghazi, IRS, Ebola, or virtually anything you will watch on the "24 Hour a Day Fear & Crisis Network", Fox News.

And for the right, chronic paranoia is essential.

Black man from Indiana, holed up on the south of Chicago, shoots from a window at a CPD captain who was in uniform. No protests from the right. No damage to property from the right.

But here we have a man shoot multiple times at the police and the community is upset that the offender is dead.

You are right their is something very very wrong here. The fact is that a young hood was killed (not gunned down, big difference) by an off duty police officer after he took three shots at the officer with a pistol he had hidden in his waist ban. Completely justified, The fact is that their are some who completely dismiss these facts. They want to do nothing but cause trouble no matter how stupid it makes them look.

[on the road]

It has nothing to do with whether or not the killing was justified.
My point was how politically impressionable some on the right are and how susceptible they are to programming
by influential right wing talking heads.
Not everything is political, not everything is conspiratorial and not everything is driven by political agenda.

I corrected (red) where your statement was incorrect. It now reads what I'm sure you wanted to convey to us.

"Gunned down by police"?? So, if a young man shoots at a policeman, and the policeman returns fire, you consider that "gunned down" by police.

What was your expectation, that the policeman ask the man politely to consider a cease fire? Have you been advising President Obama on how to deal with the mideast by any chance?

Not offended in the least, just pointing out the hypocrisy of your post. As to political, of course it's political and racial. With Martin, Obama chimes in, this could be my son, with Brown it is demanded he be charged with murder and stated he executed Brown. The feds sent to investigate. Now with Myers, who shot at the officer three times, the officer is accused of gunning a teenager down. Both times rioting in the streets. If the politicians don't make it political and racial the media and activists do. The blacks are saying the police are profiling, perhaps they took their cue from Jesse Jackson, remember his profiling statement:" I hate to admit it, there is nothing more painful to me at this stage of my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery - then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved." Jesse Jackson, 1993

What kind of statement is "It has nothing to do with whether or not the killing was justified" other than be susceptible to the programming of left wing talking head Clinton who said "What difference - at this point, what difference does it make?" Does it really not make a difference to you?

If the outrage of young black men dying by gunshot was the true focal point rather than being political or racial about white officers, the focus would be on black on black crime. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in 2005 93% of the 6,800 black men who died of homicide that year died by other black men. At that rate (17.3 men per day) in this country then blacks have killed 8,663 other black men in the 500 days since the Trayvon Martin case. Again 8,663 black men murdered, where is the outrage? (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/bvvc.pdf)

I don't post this to belittle or dismiss the death's of these young men, no matter the circumstances there is a brokenhearted mother and the loss of her child. This is much deeper that white cops profiling young black men. There is an elephant in the room no one is willing to talk about. I pray for the families involved.

Some food for thought, as a Christian conservative, when I am referred to as a "fascist lunatic" or a "radical rightest" I simply consider it a fulfillment of prophesy "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Matthew 5:11 (NIV)

We do agree on one thing, something is very, very wrong.....
