WTH,

Your point is that the national media is silent on the attack.

My point is that the national media is almost always silent on these attacks.

Hence, the fact that the media was silent on this attack is standard operating procedure.  It's local news.  Not national.

So your whining for lack of coverage makes no sense in light of the lack of coverage for the 7,000 other racist attacks that happen per year.

so according to this there are just over 5000 racially motivated crimes. In toto. 

less than 7000 already.

Of those, 66 percent were anti-black bias. so we'll take that 5020 and get  3313. Less than half of Leon's rhetoric.

What this doesn't tell us is what the racist perps "cultural identity" is-because contrary to propaganda, hispanics are rather racially biased against everyone who is not Raza. MS-13 and a few others seem to enjoy making violent racist performance artworks. 

And this is why I posit more racist crime isn't being reported-because it would show yet another side to the ever-uglier and more violent Second Mexican War. 

The real screwball in the mix is, from another FBI report (IIRC the same NatlGeo cited one) is that the vast majority of crimes a black man suffers are from others of his own ethinic group. So much for "brothers" and "roots".(Maybe even the same FBI crime report that showed that leftist gun control programs not only failed to deter crime but also increased it)

Of course, NatlGeo has also completely bought into the GW Consensus BS, failed to report on the return and growth of all the missing glaciers, polar ice, and other "harbingers" they themselves promoted as "proof" of AGW. They do a story on military camp provisioners during the War between the States and headline it as "Haliburton in the Civil War"! Attack articles on the preservation of American Indian sites abound while there is no outright indignation at the declared policy of Iran and others *deliberately* destroying any biblical era artifacts that don't paint Islamic histories in a favorable light. Or chastise Egyptian government officials for forcing families out of houses and off of land at gunpoint, with little or no restitution, because they believe there are "cultural" artifacts to be found. Not to mention having fun with the term "God Particle" recently, even though a) no real physicist ever uses that term (even the article admits that) and b) they'd never dare call it a "Allah Particle". Let's not forget the almost-completely-invisible reference to the Janjaweed Darfur mobs as being Islamic, or how the thugs are blatantly motivated by MSM press coverage of Getmo and 9/11, but talk about all those brave people standing up for themselves. Or take the article of Nigerian tribal-based discrimination of their own people regarding oil profit distribution and poverty, and spin *that* into "America's Fault" as well.

Read Nat'lGeo for the photography and the descriptions of places. Filter their"science" thru a BS strainer and do not read any of their "cultural' exploration pieces without some sort of independently verified balance handy. 

*sigh* were they always this bad and as a child I didn't know the spin and bias and dumbed down trendy science reporting? Or is this a recent phenomenon stirred up by the new generation of Media Warriors who lack the means or the balls to enter in a stand-up fight?

"to call an illegal immigrant an "undocumented alien" is the same as calling a streetcorner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

Anclerson,

You really think your post was in some way a refutation of my only point?

How?

Again, all I claimed is that most of these incidents do not receive national news coverage so why should this one?  I fail to see how anything you said is even remotely related to my contention.

Is there a story in every national newspaper everytime a Swastika is spray painted on a temple in the Midwest?  No.  

It's a simple matter of feasibility.  You can't cover everything.

This is a local story, covered appropriately by the local news.  To call for more makes no sense.
