Car rams Capitol barricade, Officer and driver dead

Post Reply New Topic

Lots of gun violence in past year. Symptom of a sick society in which the poor and economically marginalized see no future, and go mad from the strains. I hope Biden's "Build Back Better" can heal the country.

MSNBC erroneously reported Friday that the suspect in Friday's deadly car attack at the U.S. Capitol was a "White male."

During the network's 2 p.m. ET program "Katy Tur Reports," NBC News justice correspondent Pete Williams provided reporting on the then-unidentified suspect, who had just died.

"The question now is, what’s the condition of the Capitol Police officers who were injured when the man -- we’re told it was a White male that was driving the car -- when the man got out of the car and attacked the police officers with a knife," Williams told MSNBC anchor Katy Tur.

In fact, the suspect was later identified as Noah Green, a 25-year-old Black man from Indiana with ties to Virginia.

The most recent post was a YouTube video of a 2009 Louis Farrakhan speech titled, "The Crucifixion of Michael Jackson." In it, the Nation of Islam leader said Jesus was not the Messiah and called Christian theology a lie.

In a post dated March 17, Green complained of being unemployed amid the coronavirus pandemic and said his religious beliefs were keeping him going.

He also praised Farrakhan, an outspoken anti-Semite, as "Jesus" and former NOI leader Elijah Muhammad as "the exalted Christ."

So far, sounds like a religious nutty.

Sounds like one of those who needed a scapegoat for all that he’s gone through since graduating college and since the Pandemic.

I don’t blame “the times” for what happened here. This type of person could have done what he did during good economic times.

Columbine started all this present crap, in my opinion. Things were going well economically in 1999.

THIS DOESN’T MEAN THE DAMAGE DONE BY THE PANDEMIC DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED. WE MUST FIX WHAT’S BROKEN.

I’ve read some of Elijah Muhammad’s writings at the library I work at. Very sick and twisted stuff. Phil Scott from the Advise Show looks up to him as well as Louis Farrakhan and actually believes global warming is “God’s anger towards white people” which is just as stupid as saying global warming doesn’t exist.

Muhammad ironically died suffering from diabetes and heart disease despite claiming he didn’t eat “white man’s food” because it would apparently cause those things. Malcolm X said he saw a lot of hypocrisy from Muhammad and I wonder if Muhammad not living up to his ideals in that manner was part of it.

The perpetrator of this crime is further proof it’s not the “immoral secularists” society needs to worry about but people with bizarre religious views.

So in light of this incident will the Southern Poverty Law Center deem the Nation of Islam a "Hate Group"?

The Southern Poverty Law Center does list the Nation of Islam as a hate group.

What would be the point of the media not wanting to tell the story? It was said because the perpetrator is black that the media would not want to report it on, but what does being black have to do with it?

That all makes sense. But why does the media seem to have a tendency to only want to report violence committed by white people as it was pointed out, or what is the motivation behind only wanting to report one violence by one particular race?
