10. In London.

Weird.

[Rocknrule]

11. The death toll from Republican vigilantes is now 4

How many more? McCain, Palin, Coulter, Hannity, Savage, O'Reilly, YOU HAVE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!!!

[YOY]

12. It was in London...looks like a British Skinhead

Probably not a listener to Coulter or Limbaugh or any American pundit.

16. The victim wasn't killed. Read the article please.

18. It's also not clear it was the shirt

The skinhead shot a black guy wearing an Obama shirt while screaming "I f***ing hate n***ers!" I'm not sure how much of that was the shirt.

[nini]

29. Are you serious?

Has that guy just walked around randomly shooting black guys?

Sounds like the shirt triggered all of this.

[ericgtr]

13. Thank you McCain/Palin for inciting such actions.. You are true leaders

Of the white supremacist movement.

14. k&r

15. He wasn't shot with bullets. The victim is alive. The assault is terrible but...

We should be clear about what happened.

People are already assuming a murder happened here. It didn't.

[Recursion]

19. Given that it was London...

...and the guy drove off after being shot in the face, shoulder, and hand, it was likely either a bad zipgun or a pellet gun, or possibly a very low caliber "actual" gun.

17. Euro racists

Let's hope Europe gets their racism back in check. That is unacceptable.

[Bryn]

20. I am so glad he is all right

Scary!

[ShortnFiery]

21. Hello?!? Right wing site spewing FEAR .. ball-bearing gun (bb gun), menacing dog = Chihuahua?

Your yelling (cap lock) doesn't help any either.

Any attack is just plain wrong, but these losers spin the story ad nausea. :eyes:

[BrightKnight]

31. He shot him in the head with a CO2 pistol at very close range. -1000 fps is close to a .22

I call that attempted murder. A high velocity CO2 pistol is not a harmless toy! They can fire a projectile in excess of 1000 feet per second. At close range it would be about equal to a .22 short.

I am guessing that he was shot in the arm while trying to protect his head.

22. I figured this would be a Florida story

but I was off by a few thousand miles...

[SOS]

23. Mr. Egwuatu is a victim of right-wing TERRORISM

terrorism
noun
the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

[Ian_rd]

24. McCain and Palin are starting a domestic war for their political aims

Their implications are clear: Obama is a terrorist. Therefore, you must fight him and everyone who supports him. If that happens to result in actual violence or actual murder, then that's fine as long as the net result in votes favors McCain.

[Essene]

25. im gonna just go ahead and downplay that...

[knixphan]

26. This stuff needs visibility.

Shame on the pugs for inciting this behaviour at rallies.

[gblady]

27. I'm glad he is OK...

can you imagine how upset this makes Barack feel?
I would imagine that is would just break his heart
that someone got hurt because of showing support for him.

[Leeny]

28. HOLY SHIT!!

I hate to say that I'm not too surprised. Saddened, angry as hell and a little scared... but not surprised. I felt like it was just a matter of time before one of those skinhead nutcases did something like this. I think as we get closer to the election, it's going to get uglier. What can we do?

Part of me wants to plaster MORE bumper stickers on my car and to wear a Tshirt, buttons, etc. F**CK those ignorant losers. :mad: :grr:

But part of me wants to remove the bumper stickers because I drive a mini-van with kids in it most of the time. I know I'm over-reacting, but it's a little freaky.

Sending positive thoughts out there, to all. :grouphug:

30. Just hours earlier I predicted the ractists and bigots would turn violent -- I had no idea how soon.

[YOY]

32. Read the story!

It's in London...
