Just as unfortunate it is to chock Dylan Roofs actions up to all whites, and these 4 blacks actions up to all black people, I think it's just as unfortunate to use the opportunity to spew anti-republican rhetoric. The root of the post is posited on this old guy you say is a crazy brain washed republican. If you had half the intelligence or culture as you attempt to show you'd know that being a republican is only a designation toward a favored political party, not a lifestyle, and certainly not a pseudo-religious cult-like community that eats hate like it's breakfast. Lets me honest here, the guy is crazy and confused.

I feel like I'm in a 101 government class but em, republican / Democrat ; Conservative / Liberal ; oh and they don't necessarily depend on an equating factor (IE: conservative democrats and liberal republicans are a thing).

To my point, while I generally agree with some of the points you make I also feel like this needs to be said: we don't know the motive for the attack/torture so assigning a socio-political label is impossible. It's a sign of your republican hating white guilt to call these people African-Americans - African is again a political and geographic association, I have far more Norwegian blood in my body and I don't call myself a Norwegian-American. Why again are we having this conversation, point is 4 assholes tortured a mentally unstable person. If you want to bury the confines of race you need to quit using it in your arguments.

^ A bit touchy, are we?

I just think it's funny that this "IA" has developed the superpower to insert a hyperlink into their rant. Inside job, methinks.
