He...I don't see how it isn't a hate crime.<br /><br />He specifically said, "what are you doing with that WHITE woman?"<br /><br />He was using a shotgun, it's not that hard to imagine that he was firing at both of them and hit her.Eli Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792743206074537073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-71877212649158945072009-10-07T10:58:26.606-07:002009-10-07T10:58:26.606-07:00Anonymous (or whatever your name is),
This was mo...Anonymous (or whatever your name is),<br /><br />This was most assuredly a hate crime. To deny that is to deny all the facts in the case thus far. <br /><br />Eli is dead on and absolutely NOT jumping to conclusions. This quote alone is a dead give away: "Wellmaker, who is Black, said the tattooed man yelled, "What are you doing with that White woman," "<br /><br />Eli is exactly right in his conclusion, a fact that is now supported by the police: http://www.azcentral.com/community/northvalley/articles/2009/10/06/20091006shotgun1006-ON.html<br /><br />"Phoenix police: Shooting death of woman racially motivated"<br /><br />They are not quite calling it a "hate crime yet" but will soon as it can be classified as nothing else but a hate crime.<br /><br />Eli, keep up the great work!The Proud Moderate-Centristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344105356261152367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231145.post-40425669242304029642009-10-05T08:00:47.184-07:002009-10-05T08:00:47.184-07:00A murder was committed, that's true.
But unti...A murder was committed, that's true.<br /><br />But until they catch the guy you don't know what the motivation was. Maybe he knew the woman and he wanted to get the man to go away so he could beat her up or rape her or kidnap her himself. For one thing it is interesting that he shot her, and not the guy. Usually when a black man is with a white woman it's the black man that racists target, not the white woman (or at least not right away.)<br /><br />Obviously he's a murderer and they need to get him off the streets but your jumping to conclusions by saying its a hate crime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
