Three more thugs arrested for racially motivated mob attacks in Warner Robbins, GA - 2 views

  • If the races had been reversed, this would be a major national news story. There is absolutely no doubt that national media would be in a frenzy right now. About thirty black teenagers, in Warner Robins, Georgia, celebrated a snow day by rioting and committing racially motivated hate crime mob attack. Five white adults were brutally attacked by the mob. One of the victims was a woman who had an infant baby with her. The thugs posted the this photo (right) on the internet to gloat about the attacks. The thugs screamed racial slurs during the assaults. The total number of arrests has increased to five. Since the perps are all juveniles, there will be very little repercussions for their actions. From Macon Telegraph… Three more teens were arrested Friday for their alleged involvement in an attack at Warner Robins High School last week when the school was closed for snow. D’Angelo Montell Roquemore, 17, of Warner Robins, has been charged with aggravated assault in the Jan. 29 brawl, according to a police news release. In addition, a 15-year-old boy from Warner Robins and a 14-year-old boy from Warner Robins were each charged with aggravated assault, the release states. Police did not release the boys’ names because they are juveniles. Two teens already were arrested in the incident, bringing the total number of arrests to five. Shymalik Raekwon Mitchell, 17, of Warner Robins, was arrested Wednesday an

      Something not fair is how if this were the other way around, this would be very major. It seems like media today is still racist.... just now to white people

      It's a good topic but this does not apply to racism in Memphis.
  •  
    3 black thugs called a white awful racial slurs, and brutally beat him.

    In the article I feel like it is one sided. We didn't here from the black point of view, what if the 5 white people threatened them? I feel like you need to add to the tags. For example, assault. Also, you highlighted almost all of it and Mr. Cummings said not to. Also, Georgia isn't in our community. We need to find the other side of the story, like what caused the black kids to kill them. What were the white people doing to provoke the blacks to kill them?

    I agree with Sam it really doesn't apply to Memphis because every night on Action News 5 you always see that someone either kidnapped someone or murdered someone. It is also black people and white people. So it wouldn't really be a big deal if a white guy murdered someone randomly. This happens every day in Memphis either a murder, abuse, or kidnapping, its not a big deal white or black.

On This Day: Martin Luther King Jr. Assassinated - 17 views

  •  
    Martin Luther King was in Memphis, when he was assassinated. The racial discrimination in the city killed Martin Luther King. The whites didn't like him and beat him and arrested him and tortured him. When he was at this motel, he was killed due to the racial discrimination in Memphis.

    I thought this was interesting because it shows the racism in Memphis. This problem can get bigger and bigger if it is allowed. This crime was done because Martin Luther King was black. This is a big part in racial discrimination.
  •  
    "and beat him and arrested him and tortured him" is a run-on sentence. The crime was not done just because he was black. The attack was done because he was supporting blacks. Also you need to list this under history.
  •  
    I think this is to long ago and it won't really give lots of information about today society.
  •  
    I argue with Hewes because it was formal and gave recent information ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
  •  
    Although this article gives specific information about Memphis' history, the information is not recent nor important for today's situation.
  •  
    I agree with Hewes, It was a long time ago. You need to find a website with recent info.
  •  
    Memphis is a big city for civil rights in America, but I think you could find something that relates to today, and effects our society.
  •  
    Are there any facts backing theses conspires, and what causes them to be so compelling?
  •  
    This is not important because it is to old for our question.
  •  
    While this does go over the racial discrimination I think this more one sided and is only about Dr. Martian Luther King.
  •  
    How does this relate to us reducing racism in our community ? I like how you used facts to back up the problem. I don't think that this doesn't really relate to us reducing racism. I suggest that you find an article that does realet to our issue.
  •  
    This is a good topic and I think that it will help in our group discussion, but I think that you need something more recent.
  •  
    Why is this important today if it happened in 1968?I like the historical reference.I'm concerned with it's outdated info. I suggest you find something more current.
  •  
    Although this happened many years ago, I think this article can help us in this proses of how we can reduce racism in our community.
  •  
    This may be a little one-sided. The passage talks about the outrage and distress after King's death, but not the feelings of racist people in the country.
  •  
    I do not think this is biased. However, I would question whether or not it is relevant to what we are studying. Your question was, "Where/how do we address the problem and change things?". The upcoming days of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination aren't relevant to that question.
