Well, since you mention it, there was the War of 1812... That involved blockades, capturing of civilian sailors, under the table arming of enemies, etc.

Wasn't that the war where a bunch of future Canadians invaded the USA, made their way to Washington DC and burned the White House down to the ground? Damn war mongering 'nucks.

That'd be the one, yes...

When Darius started talking about battling Canada and apologizing for how silly his "hypothetical" situation was I started laughing.

I heard Ron White say that they put in an express lane for the death penalty is Texass. He said if you kill somebody there we will kill you back. I hope they catch everyone of these fuckers and hang them. It was an accident that this guy hit a child and as it said, they were non life threatening injuries. What the fuck is wrong with people?

I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

Well it will Jive if you expand the picture.

Instead of a child hurt make it child killed. Then make the murder not by a car accident but by missiles, or sanction that killed your child from hunger. Now multiply by the appropriate number, which at best should be in the hundreds of thousands and think of this incident happing for years after years every day.

No, it still doesn't work. The missile attack is deliberate. Hurting a kid in a parking lot, 99/100 is going to be an accident.

Your bridge doesn't cross the same path. You can sympathize with the fanatics all you want, their cause does not align with that of a mob, who will have no stated cause (hence, a mob).

Texans aren't barbaric on the whole. Neither are many in the Islamic world. However, if you've seen how many young children get treated in the middle east, after losing your lunch, you'd change your thinking.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

If I were you, though, I'd hesitate to make dramatic absolute statements on morality; it results in an inconsistent position. Perhaps you could add a disclaimer.

Then definitely avoid doing that. I feel that there's nothing hypocritical about me wanting to own a gun, but not wanting a lunatic to own one.

You can't hold me responsible for what happened before I was born. The fact that the bombs deliberately targeted ONLY civilians is debatable since the towns were industrial centers, but that's another discussion. I don't target innocent people for death because someone like them killed 3,000 people virtually in front of me on September 11th. Our military doesn't start the day by drooling over how many innocent people they can kill today. Can you say the same about the jihadis?

Oh, hello again!

Darius11 seems to have some issues.
Aside from calling all Texans "barbarians", a scan of his recent user posts shows statements that include "Israel is a racist state", Britain is a country "covered by peoples blood, off course not British blood" and that women who do not veil themselves will always be judged by how "sexy" they are.
I believe this guy is mentally ill....

(and I of course love ALL the beautuful, non-veiled ladies of Texas!)

Have you read some of what is posted about Muslims? It could just be that he's trying to show what it's like when the finger points back.

He's also posted about being proud to vote in the US for the first time.

Focus on the issue, not the person.

bingo - I get this too, awkward delivery should be accounted for, not used to personally bash or misinterpret. nothing wierd in his posts is any worse than a lot of hangups all of us have. people have different values and perspectives, it can be a good thing

Darius is entitled to his OWN views, as for calling him mentally ill, now is the time to STFU.

It is uncalled for and you are probably not a mental health official, therefore keep your comments to yourself.

Now on with the bickering

Thank you guys and Wendy

It is to point out the hypocrisy and the stupidity of judging a whole group of people by the actions of a few.
It is also to show humane nature. If we have people that we can relate to at least as fellow citizens, who acted so violently to one of there children being hurt. Why can’t we understand anger and violence dircted at us when we are dealing with people who we have either directly or indirectly caused murder of Thousands their children?


I have never seen you name in SC before so you might not be familiar with the daily Muslims are crazy or they hate us free bull shit that gets posted.

This Story provided a good opportunity to show that we are no betters it is just our circumstances that are.



As for being Mentally Ill. That is a possibility hang around here for a bit longer and you will find many of us.

If you have questions about the other posts i can explain those as well. just PM me.

(A) I've got respect for Darius, even when we disagree vehemently.

(B) I find it interesting how after reading a story (or just part of a story) so many people jumped to the conclusion that it was white people who beat a man to death. Those damned "redneck christians," and such. Before you go applying negative stereotype, be sure the people involved can even be labelled with those stereotypes. The fact is neither the person who struck the child with his car, nor the people who beat him to death, were white. Hell, I wonder if there were even any white people in the neighborhood.

(C) Damn those warmongering 'nucks. Burn my White House, will you...

Crowd Kills Man After Car Apparently Hits Boy

AUSTIN, Texas (June 21) - Police urged witnesses to come forward and help them find the mob that beat a man to death after the car he was riding in apparently struck and injured a child.

Investigators were struggling to piece together what happened Tuesday when David Rivas Morales died defending the driver from members of a crowd. There could have been anywhere from two to 20 attackers, Austin Police Commander Harold Piatt said.

The car in which Morales, 40, was a passenger had entered an apartment complex's parking lot when it struck a 2-year-old boy, Piatt said. The boy was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver got out of the car to check on the child and was confronted by several people, Piatt said. When they attacked the driver, Morales got out of the car to protect the driver and was attacked as well. Police said no guns or knives were used.

The driver got away and is cooperating with investigators. Police identified the child as Michael Hosea Jr.

There were conflicting accounts of how many people were in the area. Police originally estimated 2,000 to 3,000 and a woman who lives at the complex said hundreds who had been at a Juneteenth festival filled the parking lot and street.

But late Wednesday police spokeswoman Toni Chovanetz said only 20 people were in the area where the assault occurred.

Chovanetz also said there was no connection to the nearby city-sponsored festival for Juneteenth, which commemorates Texas slaves getting the word that they had been freed.


She said her mother came running after hearing her screams, but police wouldn't let either of them get close to him.

Police arrived one minute after receiving a 911 call, by which time the beating had stopped, Chovanetz said. But the Morales family complained that medical help was slow in coming.

Chovanetz said witnesses told police that three or four men attacked Morales, knocking him to the ground. A man got out of another vehicle and hit Morales again, Chovanetz said.

David Morales arrived at the hospital about 35 minutes after the 911 call was received, said Warren Hassinger, Austin-Travis County Emergency Services spokesman. Emergency officials said police ordered them to wait until the area was secure.

Several hundred people had filled the parking lot and street as the daylong festival at a nearby park ended and spilled over into the surrounding neighborhoods, said Katherine White, a Morales family friend who lives in a townhouse next door to where the beating took place.

Margaret Morales said her brother, who was staying with her, was a painter on his way home from work. The driver, whom she knew only as Victor, picked him up and dropped him off everyday, she said.

The Morales family remembered David as a caring brother who loved the San Antonio Spurs and was thrilled when they won the NBA title last week. Earl White, Katherine's brother, said David Morales enjoyed sitting on the porch, watching the neighborhood children play in the parking lot.

"I just want the people caught and brought to justice," another sister, Elizabeth Morales, said. "I want them to feel the same pain that they caused my brother."

The Point: I see a lot of posts where people call Muslims crazy, barbaric, or backwards. Why are they so violent? Well this is how you’re fellow Texans act when one of their children is hurt in a non life-threatening manner. I wonder what we would do if a country were responsible for thousands of our children’s death………………. Turn the other cheek? I somehow doubt that

Think before you speak.

Here is a giant mirror.

The only reason we are so “civilized” is we have very cushy lives. I wonder how we would react if we had to go through what we put other people through.


Have a nice day.

Edited to remove veiled attack on another poster

Here I was expecting another misguided attack on an entire state based on ridiculous stereotypes, similar to this one from four years ago, and instead I find a fairly biting satirical jab at all cultural stereotypes. Bravo.

- I hate stupid slanted polls


This is not about texans, this is a racial thing. This was a bunch of black people who attacked a hispanic dude. If the guys in the car had been black, I doubt it would have happened.
