Nobody forcing you to revisit this thread.
Taking a glance at the news on a daily basis is a foreign concept to people today...... that's how Obama gets elected in the first place, people like you.

Whoa double take! Wait a sec, is Sinflix saying that black people should remember history and that they shouldn't have a false sense of security since it could happen again? This is a big step forward from his previous suggestion to "just get over it and move on" when it comes to black people and history.
I guess I'm not sure how you distinguish the two. How is black people organizing to make sure their rights aren't trampled on so different from gun owners organizing to make sure their rights aren't trampled on? It seems to me blacks have a lot more recent and domestic history supporting their concerns than gun advocates.
When some crazy kid shoots up a school, gun owners dont rush to the defense of the kid and make claims that the system was out to get the kid or that it wouldnt have happened if the kid was white/black or whatever.....
If a guy with a knife stabs a guy with a gun, gun owners wouldnt say that it only happened because he had a gun.
If a guy with a gun gets pulled over for doing 65 in a school zone with no tag and a missing tail light, the gun owner wouldnt say he only got pulled over because he was a gun owner.
The victim mentality needs to go. "because im black" might be the most overused excuse in the history of humanity. Nobody faults black people or anyone else for fighting for their rights and freedoms, but the black community as a whole seems to either ignore their problems or blame them on someone else.
i need cliffs of this thread. from just reading the OP, it sounds stupid...
Where's the liberty?
Maybe I am reading this wrong, but are you suggesting that standing up for the second amendment is the same as supporting Lanza?
Oh, black kid shoots up school?

That is absolutely not what I am saying. Sinflix was saying when a black person murders someone, black organizations all support the criminal. I was saying I can't think of an instance where a black person shot up a bunch of students and then had the community supporting him for it. I don't think any person supports Lanza or a cold blooded murderer of innocent people period.
Black people/organizations often come to the aid or sympathize with black criminals. I may have taken it a bit far with using that as an analogy..... but.....

I think Chris Dorner's beef was legitimate and I am sympathetic to his anger. What I have no tolerance for is how he handled it. You can sympathize with how a person was treated and still be disgusted with their actions later. I don't think anyone was defending Dorner's murderous actions. Show me one black group that said the people he killed deserved to die.
The contrast between Chris Dorner and Chris Kyle reaction from the left was pretty striking.
You're right. Feel free to show me some twitter quotes from prominent black groups defending Dorner's murders.
The two situations were completely different, why would you even think to compare them. Chris Kyle's story was just tragic, he was not treated unfairly for doing the right thing and he didn't go on a murderous spree. Also, I thought we were talking about black groups, not "the left".
Simply because the stories rolled out in social media as follows.....
Chris Kyle who was helping soldiers with mental illness recover and was shot by one of those soldiers unexpectedly and at point blank range.
Media: Chris Kyle was a professional murderer who got what he deserved, the fact that he was a professional sniper and was still killed proves how useless having a gun to defend yourself is. If guns cant protect you in the hands of a sniper, who thinks they will protect the common man.
Chris Dorner was a disgruntled employee who went on a shooting rampage to extract revenge on those he felt had mistreated him. He showed no mercy to the families of those he took vengeance on.
Media: Chris Dorner is a black man fighting back against the system that seeks to oppress him. The evil police system made sure to kill him so that the truth was not revealed. He is a hero.

"black superman"
I don't see how a handful of random people on twitter talking shit about Chris Kyle's death means that "the media" is against Chris Kyle. Were any of those users part of the "media"? And to the original point, I still don't see how this relates to a double standard of white criminals vs black criminals.
Ironically, your article states "Eerily overlapping with the habits of James Holmes’ minor fanbase" which shows that both white and black murderers have some supporters. Again, a random group of individuals on facebook and twitter are not "the media". You can find groups on facebook and twitter who support child abuse, nazism, and all sorts of sordid things. Social media gives a public outlet for every disturbed, anti-social, and depraved troll. Their mere existence can not be used to imply that their thoughts are somehow mainstream or common at all.
So the first couple articles are from obviously fringe groups (who don't like Obama by the way).
Did you even read the portland radicle one because it is not pro Chris Dorner. It states "but unfortunately Dorner, and his alleged actions, aren’t the answer" and "Chris Dorner is no solution. He’s symptomatic of the problem".
The fourth article's evidence is Facebook pages: “I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner” (over 7,700 “likes”), and “LAPD Cop Killer Christopher Dorner is A HERO” (over 300 “likes”). A whopping 8000/300,000,000 = .000025% of the population assuming all the likes are from Americans. They also talk about how some lefties didn't tweet enough about his anti-gun stance or pro Mia Farrow stance. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of murder.
Unfortunately I can't read the "black superman" one so I will reserve judgement on that one.
Can you present some official statements from the NAACP or a mainstream black group supporting his murders? Random blog posts from no name people in no name blogs isn't sufficient evidence for mainstream acceptance of their ideas.
