"Once again, Obama is sending the message that racially or religiously motivated violence by white men, against Muslims or people of color, is not his concern and is not a public concern."

Did he not speak about the deaths of all those black kids? Why does every murder require a Presidential speech?
Because he is an absolute idiot.

If it were 3 black kids shot then Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Eric Holder would already be down there being covered by every major news outlet.

With tensions in the Middle East and his foreign policy in flames the last thing he wants is this turning into a Michael Brown scenario all over again but centered around religion and not race.

I meant why SHOULD the President be expected to speak about homicides that occur in the country?

He shouldn't have to. The problem is they speak before all the facts are present.

question, why is police discussing motive? isnt that the prosecution/def atty's job?
Good point. Goes with what I mentioned above. People speak as something factual before the facts are out and the jury decides.

I bet if the court decides it WASN'T hate related some here will call it a farce.

Oh forget "some here," watch everyone else. People are already angry.

The police are allowed to presume during an investigation. It's part of their job.

Tbh, although it is getting a lot of media coverage, the media coverage is about the lack of media coverage of the actual murders... lol. And there doesn't seem to be the outrage you would expect if it was the other way around.

So I'm not saying that the guy killed them because they were Muslim, but I tend to think it would be painted as religiously motivated if the roles were reversed.

Oh and about "NOT ENOUGH COVERAGE" it's a lie

For all those who are saying "Why should Obama make a statement?

Well, give me a break. If these three were Jews, he would be having tears for three continuous hours on TV. Read how he cared about an immaterial random basketball player who passed away before three days, and guess where? In Chapel Hill:

And take in consideration this player has died without anybody pushing him toward death.
