Savage arrested for murder
Man shot to death, body dragged
By JAMELLE BOUIE
I have no words for this:
“We don’t want to attribute something to Collins that isn’t necessarily true,” Lloyd said. “But out of precaution, given the circumstances, we are investigating the racial angle.”
I appreciate that police are investigating the racial angle, but it still annoys me to hear law enforcement near-dismiss the possibility that this was racially motivated. No, Collins wasn’t wearing a white hood, and doesn’t appear to have any ? tattoos. But he killed a man and then dragged his body for eleven miles on the back of his truck, which sounds depressingly similar to the 1998 murder of James Byrd Jr., who was chained and dragged for three miles before his death.
That said, cops in South Carolina say that they don’t have a motive for the murder. As you can probably tell, I am very interested to see what comes out of the investigation.
Are you serious, they still lynching people in 2010?!?!?!

Savage arrested for murder
Man shot to death, body dragged

I have no words for this:
The shooting death of a black man whose body was dragged for several miles is being investigated as a possible hate crime after the arrest of a white man he worked with, South Carolina’s state police chief said.
Gregory Collins, 19, is charged with murder and made his first court appearance Thursday. No bond was set and he did not yet have an attorney, Newberry County Magistrate Ron Halfacre said.
[...]
Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said Collins and Hill spent most of Tuesday together and were at Collins’ mobile home late Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning when Hill was shot.
Foster said Collins then attached a nylon rope around Hill’s body and began dragging it behind his truck, apparently until the rope snapped several miles later.
Of course, local law enforcement is quick to pooh pooh the notion that Collins is some kind of racist, since there are no racists in America:Gregory Collins, 19, is charged with murder and made his first court appearance Thursday. No bond was set and he did not yet have an attorney, Newberry County Magistrate Ron Halfacre said.

not technically a lynching
also, its racist to assume that if a white kills a black there was a racial motivation -
He shot him before dragging him?

The fact that he desecrated the body in the same fashion (truck-dragging) as two previous lynchings by known white-supremacists is going to make it easier for prosecuters to get federal Hate-crime charges. The Jasper & Paris incidents were both fedearally charged I believe.
This is 2010...WTF is wrong with people? -
damn that ? is sad....
-
white people are evil
-
When I heard about this ? I actually got angry..to think of it being 2010 and black people still getting killed just for being Black..like what the ? is that???
-
black people killin each other is that a hate crime too?
even though white people ? blacks for being a different color -
Ya you cant call it a hate crime if these two were hanging out together like friends

people get charged w/ lynching quite often, so yes it still happens in 2010.
and nothing that happened indicates this was racially motivated -
Na...its ignorant NOT racist to assume it is....Dude coulda had any motive in the world....And since we dont know we cant really call it...But you know what...Motive dont mean ? to me...Because the crime was committed....What?..should he get more time for the crime being racially motivated???...Hell naw...thats punishing thought...That cracka should be punished for the crime he did...And nothing else...death187sin wrote: »It's ignorant to assume it's not. -

Not just in Jasper Texas but some ? 's did this in Paris Texas.
Its a new way to lynch Black men and women instead of hanging them and burning them to death.
The racist have been targeting the friendly type of Black persons who go out of their way to befreind white people.
They dont attack us Black folk that accept our selves and accept our own. -
Just cant understand why they hate us so much.......
