White bus driver shot for standing up to non paying blacks, media silent
Yesterday in Seattle one of our city bus drivers was shot multiple times in downtown for apparently demanding that a group of riders actually pay their fares. A 31 year old black man with a history of felonies reportedly became angry, said, "war" and began shooting the white bus driver. The bus driver dared to stand up to a group of blacks for not paying, and then another black man took offense, felt disrespected, and opened fire. For the record, it's unclear if the shooter was part of the other group of blacks who didn't pay.
The bus driver miraculously lived, and the shooter fled the bus, tried to carjack at least one other person, then tried to board another metro bus. He apparently opened fire on Seattle Police when they arrived within minutes, and SPD shot him dead.
The local media coverage has been typical. Not a peep about the possibility of a hate crime. Not a peep about the possibility of racism against the white bus driver for demanding that the other blacks pay their fares. The shooter has no history of mental illness or anything like that.
Imagine if 3 white men had refused to pay their fare, then attacked the black bus driver who was asking them to pay. How would this be framed by the mainstream media? Hate crime? An attack by 3 whites on a black? You better believe it. Even without evidence of racism or hate crime, they would be casually asking, "could this be a hate crime, was the driver targeted because he's a minority?"
Seems the angle that the liberal local news stations are going to play is the anti-gun angle, with questions regarding "safety" on our metro buses. Nevermind that this thug was a career felon and should have never been on the streets to begin with.

Wait a second. You said that: [quote] The bus driver dared to stand up to a group of blacks for not paying, and then another black man took offense, felt disrespected, and opened fire. [/quote] But the story says: [quote]The shooting began after three people boarded a King County Metro bus through the rear door as morning rush hour was ending. The driver asked them to come up front to pay, acting Seattle Police Chief Jim Pugel said. Two of the people re-entered the bus through the front door and paid. The gunman, however, paced back and forth before hitting and then shooting the driver in the torso and cheek, Pugel said. [/quote] So a violent man shoots someone for a completely unknown reason, and you're trying to say that the shooter felt disrespected somehow? No one has any idea why the shooter attacked, at all. And because the media isn't covering this crime as a hate crime due to the complete lack of evidence for doing that, you're mad? For once the media is being completely responsible, refraining from bringing up baseless accusations and irrelevant details, and you want them to stop? To you, this isn't a crazy man exploding on the nearest target, but an example of how white people are victims of a liberal media conspiracy? And then, you go on to fucking say this: [quote] Even without evidence of racism or hate crime, they would be casually asking, "could this be a hate crime, was the driver targeted because he's a minority?" [/quote] You're doing exactly that with your whole post! You have absolutely no evidence that race was a factor at all, yet you're acting as if it's the whole reason this happened.

That's what happens with leftist media. Don't want to report the slew of crimes minorities commit.

3 RepliesUnfortunately, our world is filled with double standards. Basically anywhere where a group has been wronged, people are afraid to stand up to members of that group for fear of accusations of hate. Also, both sides of the political media spectrum are biased. The best news sources, which unfortunately don't sell as well as those designed to entertain rather than inform their readers, are the ones that present the news in a light that is unbiased as possible, allowing readers to form their own opinions. I am aware that pure lack of opinion is impossible; however, not enough news sources do their part to at least limit this.

And no Liberal media news outlet will report this because it fails to perpetuate their false racial hate agenda that blacks are constantly being oppressed in America, even though we elected a black President.
