Youre wasting your time with him

When everyone realizes he's an autistic twit, you'll realize he's not capable of objectivity.

I'm not going off on you LA.

Just saying the article doesn't mention white privilege.

Perhaps someone edited it at KABC or something.

Understood, and no offense taken.

I had at least half a dozen browsers open to various accounts of the incident, and it is possible I didn't properly sync the quotes with the links.

Otoh, I do think the OP gives a good synopsis of what happened.

clicked on the link to the KABC story (the one the OP linked) and could find no reference to anything about any perp saying anything about "white privlige". Take it for what it is worth.


There’s two articles on this story from ABC affiliates.

This is a screenshot of the article from ABC 13 in Houston where they quote ABC7 out of Los Angeles

I’m betting L.A.‘s theory is right, ABC7 edited their article to take out the part about the eyewitness account.

Yeah, kinda strange how ABC13 out of Houston quotes ABC7 out of Los Angeles about the eyewitness but ABC7 doesn’t have anything in their article about the eyewitness.

Absolutely. That's why I chose that one out of all the articles I read. They were the only ones at the time who were on record with an eyewitness account of the killer shouting about "white privilege" as he murdered the doctor.

Thye now seem to have removed the testimony from the eyewitness. It's not hard to figure out why

I am not going back to try and find it, but I read last night that the LEOs had not found anyone who heard the motorist say anything about "White Privilege." Those (news) reports seem to have been 2nd- or 3rd-hand.

The Los Angeles affiliate may have continued their investigation and removed that part of the story if they were not able to corroborate through a 1st-hand witness.

Other outlets that relied upon the ORIGINAL story (e.g. the Houston station) would be slow to update/correct (if they do so at all).

Just a thought.

The sad thing is that this screams of "White Privilege" will remain a part of the narrative, EVEN IF no one is ever able to find a 1st-hand witness to confirm that it ever happened. It is now in the ether, and it will stay there forever. A few pages back, someone posted a screenshot of all the articles referencing this exclamation. If one were to read each of those articles, I would be surprised if they do not all relate back to the original Los Angeles ABC story as a source.

Again, LA, not a commentary on you. You just shared the information available at the time you started the thread. No sane person can blame you, if it later develops that early reports were not entirely accurate.

There is no correction on ABC7’s article

According to LA, they updated/edited it to remove the language that remains in the Houston article, and there is no reason to think that he is not being truthful.

If you want to be pedantic about the word "correction," be my guest.

And of course, you believe it, lightweight. You always believe sources that support your premise.

I know what LA said, I’m responding to you. There’s no correction on their article, which is probably why the Houston affiliate’s article still reflects the original article

You are probably correct. Los Angeles LEOs are probably lying about the evidence they have been able to gather thus far.

Nope, Some news sources tend to mute racial attacks when the perp is a minority.

The Christmas parade killings for example. Overnight all his racist ramblings disappeared and were cleaned from most media.

But pray it was a mentally deranged person, not a racist so you can be right! We can't have minorities being racist.. even though witnesses claimed otherwise. Some autistic lawyer in Texas knows everything.

The perp is a black Israelite, and Hank still can't put 1 and 1 together.

My only question is whether "race" was the precipitating factor in this attack, or merely incidental.

Hold on Hank. I’ve been with you so far in this argument, but race was clearly not incidental. It was, at best, a strong factor and at worst, the main cause.

So correct me if I’m wrong about what you meant….race was incidental in Floyd’s actions but race was the motivating factor in the officers’ actions? Is that what you think?


That is clearly not what Hank said. In fact, it is the opposite of what he said.
