A Mother’s March For Justice

The racialist paradigm at work. First it’s nooses in a goddamn schoolyard tree and then a potentially lethal 6-on-1 attack. The rampant stupidity just flows like a river from a polluted spring. Same as it ever was, same as it always will be for as long as we’ve got this psychopathological barb stuck in our minds, like a festering, corrosive fishhook buried in the brain.

So other than my usual (correct) rant, I have to say this was a very unsatisfying article. We get nothing about any evidence against those charged, nothing about why Mychal Bell’s conviction was thrown out. The victim’s injuries, and the fact that there were a half-dozen attackers on one victim, are apparently irrelevent issues. And if Purvis “had nothing to do with it”, and was therefore wrongly charged, that’s an issue all its own. Who is the *real* 6th assailant?

However, was Purvis positively identified? If he was, why is that not also relevant to this article? Is his skin color the real issue? Because if it is, that’s a racist sentiment, as much so as if he was charged based only on his coloring.

If there’s more at work here that needs to be understood, show me.

The real tragedy of this story has been the way that “justice” has been once again filtered through the irrelevancy of racial bias, whether for the accused 6 or against. The simple facts of the case get barely any hearing, and never without the added, repeatedly emphasized racialistic focus. As I’ve been reading about this case over the months, racial loyalty or racial antipathy has been the main show, not whether a savage beating occured or whether the victim’s attackers were reliably identified and given their legal due process, which is exactly all the 6 “real” attackers deserve.

Other than conviction, if indeed they ganged up and beat the living shit out of a single young man.

What’s the evidence against the accused?

In a society that wasn’t absolutely permeated with racism, that would be the issue. Nothing else.

The fact that this case has come to be a referendum on race relations shows exactly how sick American culture has become, with its obsessive attachment to one of its most disgustingly ignoble features.

Too bad Salim did not read your comments above before he submitted his article today. If he addressed the topics you brought up, he could have really had an interesting piece. But he went with the safe (here at least) and lazy race-based mantras. Pity.
