A racial attack in Virgina and a possible obstruction of justice - 1 views

    A white male and female are attacked by a group of black men. I find the actions surrounding this interesting. One of them is how the newspaper employer of the two attacked didn't publish the story till 2 weeks later.

    I am interested in this story as well. The definition of a "Hate Crime" is hotly debated. I was origionally invented to protect minorities who were persecuted, so the idea that the majority (white people) could be vitctim to it does not necessarily fall withing its boundaries. O'Reilley does some interesting things rhetorically here. He makes a lot of assumptions and inferences but does not provide facts. He assumes he is talking to an audience who agrees with him. He implies people of color get special treatment and white people are victims of this under the guise of saying everyone should get equal treatment. He fails to note that people of color do not receive equal treatment under the law. This is a crucial difference between positions on the political spectrum. I think what is most appealing about O'Reilley's rhetoric is that he says he just wants justice for everyone. A great article to talk about!! Thanks for the post Katelynn.

    I really like this article becasue it puts into perspective how the US perceives gun laws and people's rights and how race becomes a factor in justice. It raises a lot of questions and I find it really interesting. Thanks for this!
