4 Arrested In FB Video Torturing Of A Mentally Challenged Man

[Brian37]

Jesus fuck Brian. Your latest screed here perhaps would have a place if we're talking robbery, but is woefully misplaced considering what happened. Your routine has gone from dull to annoying to ridiculous; I believe you have jumped the shark.

Huh? It was a hate crime means I jumped the shark? 

Whites "they do it too"

Sane, "Yes and?"


I think some still are missing my point, I have been pretty consistent every time issues like this come up in the past, not just here but all over the web.

Humans regardless of skin tone, want stability, we evolved to seek resources. Most don't like violence or crime. So nobody is our should be defending what they did. But you (not you, but humans in general) simply don't oversimplify that with finger pointing short term. I said in my prior post that I was a latchkey kid, had emotional problems, did destructive things just to fit in as a teen. I was lucky, I outgrew it. But those whom have it economically worse ANYWHERE in the world on average, are more likely to have more crime and less family stability. 

Whites "We want less of this"

Me being white too, " Me too"

But that does not change our society is still a majority light skin while the majority of those hurt worse by our economy  and justice system are minorities. If we don't face that reality, crime wont be reduced for either blacks or whites, urban or rural.

Let me try this out, see if this helps all who read it understand why, admittedly I do get upset, not because I am foaming at the mouth, but more along the lines that I know my fellow humans have it within themselves to do better.

So here goes.

We used to falsely believe widely in antiquity that the sun went around the earth, we know better now. We know also what conditions lead to a hurricane, knowing that does not mean we want a hurricane to affect us. But by knowing that, we can take precautions to reduce the impact of them. Understanding human psychology and the roots of social problems, can help prevent long term. Just like if I knew what I knew back then, what I know now, I would have been less likely, far less likely to have been as destructive as I was.

Those individuals certainly deserve to be punished, but just like me, conditions matter, and without addressing those conditions, you cannot reduce the rate of that happening. Same with ignoring climate change. The other problem with punishing them, while they certainly deserve it, simply putting them in a cell and doing nothing with them while in prison, especially if they are surrounded by other violent criminals, wont magically make them learn anything or come out better.

Our attitude to crime sucks in this country, it is simply babysitting, and is more about our selfish desire for revenge rather than working for future conditions that will reduce events like this.

What they did was vile and was a hate crime. Nobody should disagree with that, but there still is just enough of our population, holding our nation hostage, even the non bigoted whites whom ignore a problem allowing those conditions to exist. Just like took forever for big oil to take led out of gas. Understanding conditions is not making excuses. Just like knowing what conditions lead to a hurricane can help reduce the impact.
