"Tyrik Haynes is being held on $1 million bail. The 19-year-old stands accused of attempted murder.
...
"He ran to the back of the store and picked a customer and just stabbed her. And she had a baby in her hands. He walked out of the store. He didn't run. He walked out like nothing happened," Patl said.

MODERATORS: how is this national/world news?

[Baltimatt]

It's not local news, as it happened in New Jersey (although the OP couldn't be bothered to tell us).

[Jeebus]

Animal behavior. Thug life.

Of course, if it wasn't posted, it never happened.

So a local occurrence in NJ is considered national news? Funny how they're almost always crimes by blacks, huh?

[Baltimatt]

Jeebus--

Yes, but I have an inkling this wouldn't have shown up on this board had the suspect been named Floyd instead of Tyrik.

And a murder in Sanford, Florida should also be consider local news?

There are stories that happen on the local level--Terri Schiavo, Sandy Hook-- that grab national attention. You think this is in that category? Find me a post on crime by this poster NOT featuring a person of color. Acting innocent of the motivation doesn't fool anyone.

Your hypocrisy is telling.

Find me a post by the above named posters about a crime not featuring a white perpetrator.

Look both way before crossing the street? Not you, you are focused one-way, all the time huh?

White people commit crimes as well. Just at a lower rate.

Here is his facebook. It is set to private so there is not much there.

There is nothing in the article or on the video that says that the thug is black. Where did you find out that piece of information?

There is no indication, but because his name is Tyrik, I guess one would guess he's white.

Local News = Anything that happens in Maryland and is not national news.

National News = Anything that happens outside of Maryland (but not necessarily on a national news level)

Am I correct Matt?

Well, I'll give a little slack to items from nearby cities and towns outside of Maryland, counting them as local news if they don't have national significance.

Look at the video

[Baltimatt]

I looked at the video and didn't see anything about the perp's race.

my mistake confusing with video of the other black crime post. I guessed from the name and the poster. facebook page confirms.

[Baltimatt]

ms maggie--

He looks rather strange on the facebook page with his face all scratched up. I see he was charged with setting a cat on fire last month. I think that is noteworthy.

Are all these kinds of posts noteworthy? OK straight up deal: you tell me you honestly don't think this post deliberately highlights black crime and I will never mention it again.

It highlights the fact that you need to be aware and ready to defend yourself, no matter where you are today.
