I tried posting this while I was at work today but could not view the streaming media. The people in Joe Horn's neighborhood (70 year old shooter) came out and shouted the Black Panthers down. I don't support the superiority of any race over another, but why in the hell are the Panthers protesting this. Someone called them on it though, listen for the guy yelling that if the burglars had been white you would not be here. People are certainly getting tired of the catch and release style of justice the courts are practicing.

Anything to make it a racist issue instead of a criminal/victim issue. The racist card plays out all the time, but gained alot of momentum in the OJ case since it was so publicized....

The worst thing about it is the Black Panthers are saying it's a racist issue to have shot the burglars,,, yet the BP are the ones screaming "Black Power, Black Power!!"

Typical hypocrites,,, they think racism is only one way and doesn't show both ways.

Guess I wasn't the only one supporting Joe Horn huh? Hahaha

I agree with what you are saying. I just wish that whoever that was waving the Confederate battle flag would have caught a beating. Having said that I wouldn't be a bit surprized to find that someone in the panthers organization brought the flag to inflame the situation. I have heard and seen organized attempts to put Confederate flags in the stories concerning the Minute Men. It is used more now to discredit a movement than as a racist symbol.

He did the right thing, and as far as the flag, I think it was right in being there. The Panthers are coming out there with their hate for the whites why not, throw it right back at them?

What I thought was hilarious was the look on some of the faces of the Panthers. It was almost like "Where did all these white folks come from? They've been too intimidated to talk back in the past."

And the next look you saw said it all:"Lets get the hell out of here." Bwahahahahaha

Again....I'm glad some folks are finally standing up.

Pedro, I am from Alabama, both born and raised. I am extremely proud of my Southern heritage. I dearly love that flag and what it represented at one time. Before hear it, it did not represent slavery. However, Southerners have allowed the meaning of the flag to be defined by racists and bigots. Our appathy allowed one of the most recognized symbols of Southern heritage to be destroyed by a bunch of simple minded, knuckle dragging, bastards. The flag is now nothing more than a tool used by race baiters of every color. Truely a shame. If those that wish to stand up to the criminals in their hometown want to be taken seriously they should stick to their issues and their God given rights to Life, Liberty, Property, and the pursuit of Happiness. This issue should not be sensationalized anymore than it has to be. Mr. Horn defended himself from what he saw as a danger to himself. I wish this was simply viewed as doing what is right, instead of an extraordinary event.

They are in the South are they not? I see no racism behind a flag. My great grandfather was a soldier who fought proudly for his country for almost 8 years he fought. He fought for what he thought was right and for what he thought was better for his family. He fought for the expansion of Germany, he was a Nazi. Who rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Yet his standard was deemed racist by the masses (should I not be proud of my heritage as well?), just as the good ol' stars and bars, my father was born in the south as well, most of my family that was in the US back then flew that standard and fought for what they thought was right as well. I am simply saying that those racist assholes (the panthers) got what they asked for.

I hate the panthers, I had to fight them in the 60's and they sniped a good officer and got away with it due to a shoddy investigation.

Big difference Pedro. The nazi flag and what it represented was from its founding based on the racial superiority of the Nordic race. It was founded on this principle. The meaning of the Confederate flag has evolved into this. Being founded and evolving to this end is quite different.

See how the Confederate flags very presence has moved this discussion away from the original issue of Mr. Horn simply ridding the world of two burglars. THIS IS MY POINT.
