Man gets shot three times for wearing Obama shirt.

Jeez man. I just don't know what to say anymore. Who knew someone could feel this strongly over politics? I mean, I have an Obama shirt and now I'm scared of wearing it.

Also, racism is just some bull ****. I mean, we're all human, we're all created equally regardless of race, nationality, gender etc. I mean, to just hate someone just because they have a different skin color than you just shows how much of an idiot you are. I could go on, but you guys get the point, amirite?

Question? Comments?

 

Wow. That's just completely heinous. How could anyone do that? Someone should be able to express their opinions without fear of being killed. Not to mention the racist tie in.
Just wow.

 

See that just happened to a Obama supporter... can you imagine when Obama himself gets elected? Sadly there a lot of hard-core Confederates and racial extremests in the world... not much we can do about it. Everyone has equal rights for being human, but racism is a factor that can't and will never change. =/

 

That's hideous. What ever happened to free will?

IDK->Don't lie. No one said that. Don't put words in our mouths.

​

 

Isn't freedom of expression everyone's right? For Christ's sake, the dude just wanted to wear a shirt of his hero. You'll hear about this crap anywhere; someone wears a Che Guevara shirt, they get beaten half to death. Can you honestly believe this crap?

I mean, we're all just kids here, and yet WE know just how unethical this is. Some people just take the wrong things waaaaaaay too seriously, and that's what everyone's problem is in this era.

 

This is ridiculous...

... But I never knew racism could go this far... now I do -.-

 

You are lieing, I can see deleted posts and there aren't any. Keep this thread intelligent, or stay in the Spam Zone.

 

Racism, imho, is a pretty dumb thing. I mean, I don't support either candidate, really, but I am not un-supportive of Obama because he's black. That's just stupid. People are people. Our bodies are all the same on the inside.

Why would he shoot him for that? Geez. Look what society has come to...

 

That's just... intense. Holy wow.... What's the world coming to?

 

How could anyone be so sick? The guy was in London!

 

what the hell? what does he have to die for?

i wonder why everyone thinks that's going to happen. i mean just because he's for peace and previous people who ordered people to have peace got assassinated (like Martin Luther King and Ghandi) doesn't mean it'll happen again. i'm just saying, i don't think it will happen. i don't think he'll be assassinated for his skin color either because i really don't think racism is much of an issue in this country except for the occassional wacko like the guy who shot the other guy. i know it's something that will never go away because i don't think i can find ANYONE who can honestly say that they've never judged someone based on race but the majority of people would NEVER bring those biases out in the open.

 

I dont care if you are a racist, I dont care if you are a republican or democrat or even a communist, I dont give a ****, you say one more remark like that and you get a warning do I make myself clear? That kind of remark is uncalled for and I will not tolerate it

On Subject: What the hell? Why would someone do that, that is the stupidest thing Ive heard of in a long time =/

 

I hope you get banned. Hell, I wish you could get thrown in jail. It's people like you that are ruining this country's morals.

 

So basically you just want him to die?

Let's all calm down, members...​

 

People dying is not something to joke about. Especially in the name of politics.

 

Please do not say things like that in the first place, they are still uncalled for. Next time please think before you post things like that. And also remember, this is directed at all members, do not spam in threads outside of the spam zone. Thank you <3

Calm down sweetie, calm down. PM me if you want to talk about it.

 

I'm sure Obama, if he didn't know when he began, after Hillary's comment and Palin's instigating racism some more, realizes that his life could be in danger from the position he may be going to undertake. If he is willing to go forth and still pursue the presidency, I do not see threats and stupidity of racism as a reason to not also back a candidate who I think will do the better job. Also, low and behold, if something tragically did transpire, at least I can say with a whole heart that I trust that Biden would do a far better job than Palin would if McCain was assassinated or died of old age.

Every president should know that the position comes along with a big red bulls eye. We've had quite a few presidents that have been shot or threatened in some manner by weirdo fanatics or spree killers. This is of course why there is Secret Service. We just have to hope that they will be on their toes and they have served former presidents well so I have no reason to doubt they would not do the same for Obama, should he win.

I am just shocked of all things that this crime took place in London! I could have seen it more as happening in some of our Bible Belt areas where racism is a high factor for some of these regions. I am glad that the man lived but what happened to him is just atrocious and I hope the bigot is found and dealt with legally. Racism is a serious flaw that can be dealt with by actually researching and getting to know people. It's a shame some people cannot get over such things and it continues to hold us back. However, to me, this is exactly why things should go on and Obama should not give up. It says a lot about his character that he is willing to push on in the face of adversity and some very pathetic people who refuse to comprehend this is 2008 and not 1908. :/
