Fair enough. You did, in all fairness, respond to my question. I'm debating it with you as I would have with them since you took up the mantle.

It's not a strawman. It's an inference. I inferred (inquisitively rather than authoritatively) that Bella and the theist dude expected people here to defend these criminals because they've seen such behavior in the past. Is that not a reasonable inference? What other reason could they have to suspect people here would defend them? I have not been broaching this topic in an effort to argue with anyone. I'm asking very fucking specifically why they think people would "defend" these suspects. I've still got nothing, so maybe you should have wished me good luck in seeking a reasonable answer.
Oh, and the double standard as you see it is entirely irrelevant. All I want to know is why anyone thinks people would defend these shitheads. I don't care what the media does. I don't care if people downplay racism. I want to know why anyone would think someone would defend the kidnapping and torture of a mentally handicapped male barely out of his adolescence. If you don't think people here would defend that behavior, then I don't know why you're even debating this with me. Feck off and get back to your griping about the mean old left.
