1-GM files bankruptcy as the Obama administration asserts ownership of a company.
2-Notorious and unrepentant Kansas abortionist George Tiller murdered on Sunday.
3-14 Year Old suburban boy set upon by thugs and killed in Maryland on Saturday.
GM: What more can I say about my feelings about government control of a car company? It's a disturbing trend that would not have happened under Republican leadership. Hopefully, there is still a philosophical difference in that Republicans would not take ownership of the company. Maybe we'd bail them out with loans but to assert real control smacks of socialism.
Abortion. Tiller's murder was wrong. That is obvious. No justification for it. What motivated the crazed killer to do it? Was it the fact that Tiller just kept getting away with such depraved behavior (60,000 abortions!) that the crazed killer was so tormented in his mind that he unjustifiably felt it was up to him to put a stop to it?
Murder in Crofton, Maryland. Some older kids killed a younger kid who was riding a bike. Is that the end of it. Probably, but it would not be if the victim and suspects races were reversed. As it turns out, the 16 year old being charged as an adult is named Javel. Enough said. But if the victim was named Javel, there would be hell to pay from Al Sharpton and the NAACP. If the press wants to act responsible, then let them NEVER discuss race in these crimes whether the victims and suspects are white or black or Hispanic. Of course, Hate Crimes laws specifically bring race into the discussion, and the press will always let itself be used by the race baiters in our society. I don't like to discuss race but one of my purposes in writing this blog is to point out double standards.

Some of the comments at the website link about the Crofton murder go over the line in terms of racism. Frankly, it's because of those attitudes that the media feels it is their duty to hide the races of victims and perpetrators in most crimes. The implication in the comments is that all black kids are criminals, which is bogus.
But true journalism should not be afraid to expose the truth even if it is unpleasant, such as in this case when a bunch of African-American kids beat up and killed a white kid.
An update on the Crofton murder. The perpetrator of the crime was released just two years later. Unbelievable! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCkjuhU5Nn0
