Straub also offered his condolences to Belton’s family.









“He was defenseless,” Hansen said.





Yep and I find it funny that Obama identifies with a black youth that was involved in a crime that he thought would turn out to be a victim but doesn't identify with the MANY black youths that are the perpetrators of deadly crimes. Can't have it both ways. And to answer your questions Sandtown. I am not the one who paralleled myself with anyone. Obama did parallel himself with someone. Just drawing comparisons is all :)


I don't quite see the humor. Martin was not involved in a crime and what Obama was identifying with was the challenges of growing up black in America. Especially, as a young black man. If you are not Black, you cannot identify with a black man's experiences so you are speaking out of turn. Also, the President has spoken about urban violence. Pay attention!


Martin wasn't involved in a crime? Oh, pardon the REST of us for still considering assault to be a criminal act. Our bad!


If you consider walking while black a crime then I guess in your mind he was a criminal. If you pursue me and approach me with a gun I have the right to STAND MY GROUND! Your bad!


Assault and Battery is a crime in all 50 states. You are growing more ignorant by the day. So now what you are implying is we should excuse young black men of their crimes simply because they are black? I'll keep praying that someday you will pull your head out of your tush.

Still have the racist mentality ehh knuckle. sam, ahhh nevermind.


No, I am suggesting you leave them alone when they are minding their business. What is so hard about that?


Just another dumb n word.......wheres jesse and al.


Guess what noboycares. If so worried quit being lazy and do what they do show up.




santown...please go back and get a refund for whatever English class you took. Or are you da ebonics man.


I learned from your family.


failed attempt yet again.


What a bunch of idiots on here !! I am sure those 2 who did this were thinking of politics the whole time they were robbing and beating him!!


You are right. The right wants to make every crime about race except for the ones that are.


rottnrog it's not what they thought that makes it political it's where is Big MOUTH OBAMA NO COMMENT ON THIS TYPE OF CRIME


How many crimes like this did bush comment on? The right uses things like this to show their true racism !!!

There you go again

Why would Bush comment? Obama was trying to defend the blacks and ends up dividing the nation! I think Obama has his own problems to deal with.........


His only problem is rightwing dingbats that would rather see America fail than him succeed!


The ACTUAL problem is that America fails if Obama DOES succeed! And unfortunately for us, he's been successful a little too often. If the negative effects didn't impact ALL of us, I'd enjoy seeing him succeed even more just so I could point, laugh, and say, "I TOLD you so!" when the inevitable collapse and intrusive government oversight stamps out the few liberties and steals the last dollars we have left. As it is, "I told you so" is going to be pretty small comfort since everybody to be suffering right along with you...


They and YOU don't want this man to succeed because he is black. He has not hurt this country. He's half white so he should be able to get some credit! Your taxes have decreased, the deficit is a bit lower, Americans have a shot at healthcare ins. and on and on and on. I won't even start about the market. If you are suffering it is not because of anything Obama did!


President Bush didn't use local crime incidents to further a radical agenda like the current President along with Sharpton and Jesse Jackson does on a regular basis when it fits their far left views. Another example of racists are not limited to any one race.

Terri Schiavo?

Let's see: No crime. No racism. The relevance here is...?

You really are clueless aren't you. Are you a blond?


So is GI Joe!


When George Bush ran for office he said he would "NOT" micromanage the presidency and that he would surround himself with good people that would report to him. His philosophy!

On the other hand we have?



He didn't manage anything! 9/11? Bush is the Jimmy Carter of the republican presidents!
