from The Daily Caller:
On the heels of news that three Oklahoma teens allegedly shot and
killed an Australian jogger for sport, former Florida Republican Rep.
Allen West lashed out at President Obama and the “race industry crew.”
“‘We were bored & decided to kill somebody.’ 3 black teens shoot white jogger.Who will POTUS identify w/this time?” West
tweeted Tuesday afternoon with a link to a New York Post
article on the matter.
Following the acquittal of shooter George Zimmerman for the murder of
Florida teen Trayvon Martin, Obama said that Martin ”could have been me
35 years ago.” Earlier, Obama had
said that if he had a son, “he’d look like Trayvon.”
West cast a wider net on Facebook.
“[S]hall we hear anything from the race industry crew, Hollywood
elites, or maybe Oprah Winfrey? The issue is not about proliferation of
guns in America. This is about a failing black community and the fact
that its young men are desensitized to violence because a gangsta
culture promotes it,” West wrote on
Facebook, reiterating his Twitter question. “So who will President Obama identify with in this case?”
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, have been
charged with first-degree murder in the Friday shooting death of
Australian baseball player Chris Lane in Duncan, Oklahoma. Michael
Dewayne Jones, 17, is being charged with the use of a vehicle in the
discharge of a weapon and accessory after the fact to murder.
Jones told police that the teens killed Lane “for the fun of it” and because they “were bored and decided to kill somebody.”
